The way that you replied to my comment absolutely acts as if that was the argument I was making.

Del Toro actually talked about how the audience includes children, it’s just not a “babysitter”movie that offers no value to adults. You’re misinterpreting what he said. If kids weren’t the audience here, the PG adaptation of one of the most famous childrens stories ever would not handle its subject matter the way that it does, (including watering down the war and fascism so that it’s palatable to them). Insisting that kids movies are actually for adults and not suitable at all just devalues animations potential as an adult medium to the people who don’t think it is.

It’s a real shame that on the rare occasions kids get a genuinely good movie that seeks to teach them valuable lessons, you wouldn’t recommend them to watch it, and not thinking it’s suitable to kids shows an incredibly blatant misunderstanding of the material and it’s suitability since the director has said he made it palatable for them.

I have no idea what you’re asking, regarding the guns. They were armed because they’re bounty hunters traveling across dangerous country. They were disarmed when Candie discovered their deception. Schulz had a hidden gun and used it. Where’s the confusion?

And calling someone the lowest of the low is a moral judgment and not at all a statement about their place in a professional hierarchy.

I used to watch that but it annoyed me quite a bit, especially the roll credits thing which I have struggled and failed to find a reason for as to why that is a sin and why it is "roll credits", my best guess is that sometimes it's said right at the end of a film or soon after it starts with opening credits but that's very rarely the case.

Shazam and Instant Family.

Although they focus on foster families, it showed how being patient and supportive isn't always easy with teens and kids. I love the 2 perspectives they showed and the challenges it has with dealing with kids that aren't your own.
