The Associated Press, via Yahoo! Movies, investigates the subtle adult humor and cartoon violence found in many animated offerings today, including such films as Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Chicken Little. Despite these movies’ inclusion of certain features that may be more suited for adults, both were given a “G” rating by the MPAA. Meanwhile, Harvard studies have discovered that not only has violence increased during the history of animated G-rated films, but over half of those movies contain characters using alcohol or tobacco products as well. Nonetheless, the article points to parents as being responsible for deciding what their children should view, not a ratings system. As pediatrician Ken Haller, a professor at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, states, “All the animated films involve violence or threats of violence… The problem is when kids don’t have anyone to help them process these things.”
