Eminem song in the trailer for a kids movie?


Anyone's thoughts about ole Slim Shady's song being used for the trailer of this movie. Kind of strange how they had to use an Eminem song in the trailer of a kids movie. Not that I don't like the song, I thought it was pretty catchy and I actually liked that they put it there but at the same time I'm still wondering whether or not it was appropriate.

What's the name of the song? It's familiar, but I can't place it.

Thanks!

When you're a studio you get access to instrumentals and vocal version then an editor puts it together.

They play it on the radio and there are no inappropriate words within the trailer so I think it's okay to use

As long as there is no offensive language, then it's okay to use the song, or at least, part of the song.

Agreed. I know my friend said they played an instrumental version of Elton John's "Bitch is Back" in Gnomeo and Juliet.

Heh, but arguing about pointless stuff is fun. But yes, I agree with you. DM has had a lot of Parental Bonus type things before, so this isn't really surprising to me. It's also not as bad as the previous user was trying to make it out to be either.

I think using this Eminem song is just annoying and I probably won't see this film for it.

I'm scrappy and inquisitive.

Reminds me when they used Nicki Minajas Starships in the Oogieloves trailer
