Gone With the Wind is rated G and that's obviously only made for people 50+ yrs old.

Gone With the Wind was re-rated G. It wasn't however originally rated G at all. In fact, I believe it was rated R. In fact, I don't even think it's G now. Damn is said a number of times. There are onscreen deaths.


Also, it's not for people 50 plus. It was made for people in their late 20s to early 30s originally. You have to remember when the movie was made. Not now, would be key.
I was gone, FOR SO LONG

I managed to see it today and this pretty much sums it up.

My thoughts: The strengths of the movie was when they WEREN'T imitating Pixar. The opening title, for example (the close up of the leaf with the tumbling spiky acorn thingy), was fairly weak because it felt like it had been done before. But when the scene where you flew through Whoville and the scenes where things were animated with wide, fast motion (watch Morton) were all excellent. If another film comes out like this that is completely in this style, I'll take back what I say about how 3D cartoons can't be pushed as far as 2D cartoons.

HOWEVER

When they went ahead and tried to add a moral to the story with the serious parts, I wanted to leave the theater. I wanted more of the wild takes and the outrageous acting.

I'm hoping that history repeats itself and the other studios realize that they can't outdo Pixar/Disney at their own game, so they go off and make their own style (a la Looney Tunes and UPA)

hey at least the 'moral parts' were mostly silly as well.

when all the animals looked at horton with BIG SAD EYES while he said his speech at the end, I couldnt help but grin, just due to all the mugging
