This person is listing off The Never-ending story, Princess Bride, Nightmare before Christmas, the Wizard of Oz, Labyrinth, Willy Wonka and several other fantasy classics as being unfit for children.

By all means, leave a comment on the article.

Here's the comment I left.

'I am truly disgusted by this article that ANYONE could list off my childhood favourites as being unfit for kids. So you're pretty much saying kids shouldn't see ANY fantasy at all?!'

The author of this article is clearly a moron who thinks children should be wrapped in cotton wool and stored in a box. only to emerge when they are eighteen. Yes, there are parts of these films that are scary but kids love that. Most children love an element of peril and fear in the films they watch. The problem is that, some adults think that pandering to kids by dumbing down and softening films is the way to go (which is why there are so few decent family films now, only kiddie films that no-one over ten wants to watch).

lol That guy is a real fool what about all the animated disney movies??? There is bloody violence in stuff like beauty and the beast. Hell you can say Alice in Wonderland is a metaphor for a acid trip.
