I used to love going to the movies a lot, but haven't gone in years since they've gotten so trashy and depressing. Living wild with so called freedom, hurting others and yourself, doesn't make you happy–and neither does watching people doing so.

I'd rather see people making a difference in the world. Exciting adventures overcoming great obstacles.

Well, to simply answer your question about why scripts for kid's movies are sub-par . . . they are for kids! Are you really that influenced by what a few critics say? Some of the greatest films of all time were destroyed by critics. And again, we are talking family/children films. You get a group of children to be critics for something like Madagascar and there will be thumbs up all over the place.

Put a child in front of a television playing a movie like The Usual Suspects or Shawshank Redemption and they'll have no idea what the hell is going on.

Children's movies are unique. They are special and create worlds that inspire young children to dream and think and be creative. I remember with only the fondest of memories my childhood and my obsession with great films like Aladdin, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid.

These films aren't meant to be enjoyed by all adults. Clearly, some will absolutely have a great time at the cinema with their children watching something silly like Ice Age and others won't. It doesn't mean that it is a bad film.

But the question here is why does it matter if the scripts aren't Oscar worthy? Who cares? Definitely not the children because they'll drag you back to the same silly film a dozen times before having you buy them a copy on DVD.

People are thinking too much these days. Let the kid movies be for the kids and if you're unhappy with the scripts and the dialogue of a movie made for children, go see something more suitable for your age. Don't complain and rain all over millions of children's parades by saying their movies are lame. That my friend is lame.

I think it's all going to depend on your individual kids. Something that terrifies one kid (like the kids who have nightmares of the flying monkeys in "Wizard of Oz" might have no effect on someone else.

And to the mother who was appalled by the "fighting" in "Kung Fu Panda" - really? I'm 30, but I don't think you have to be that old to pick up that the bad guy was the one who wanted to destroy the village. Fighting for fighting's sake is stupid, and while I felt my IQ drop a few points while watching the movie, I don't think the message of rising to the occasion and teammates coming together was a bad thing.

I also grew up on many Disney classics (made back when Disney was good) and '90's kids movies. What I mean by '90's kids movies are those that weren't huge at the box office or liked by critics, but one that had a good hidden message, even though many had rude humor, but it was funny. It wasn't fart or poop jokes every five seconds. Movies I'm talking about are ones like Little Giants, Dennis the Menace, The Mighty Ducks, etc. An underrated one is Heavyweights, made by Disney. Though it had many fat and rude jokes, but it had a very good message about body image. In fact, this had Ben Stiller, before Madagascar and Night at the Museum. It was also co-written by Judd Apatow, who is known obviously for raunchy R-rated comedies like Superbad (which was great, but definately not a family movie). He did a kids movie! And it was good, regardless of what people say. Many of these films are ones families should pick up at the video store, instead of spending $9.50 a person for a piece of garbage like High School Musical 3.
