I lost patience about halfway through this list (Although Old Yeller has always disturbed me, but not as much as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang).

It lost credibility with “ham-fisted Christian overtones” with Chronicles of Narnia.

If people don’t understand allegories, they shouldn’t try and write for a living.

That was one of two things in particular I noticed about this ass-hat's list... The other was "Labyrinth," where he referred to (I believe) "the lovely Jennifer Connely." While JC IS a lovely lady now, in "Labyrinth" she was a little girl, I believe about 11 or 12. When I read that I was rather "creeped out."

I didn't get past the Narnia review. If he considers Christian themes to be "ham-fisted", we part company. No need to give the site the 26 page hits the silly list was designed to get.

But on the subject of disturbing kids fare, I'd have to nominated Babe: Pig in the City, which left a test audience of children sobbing hysterically, causing Universal to basically leave it for dead before it was ever released. It's a kids movie made by the director of The Road Warrior that feels like... a kids movie made by the director of The Road Warrior. It was also one of the best films of 1999.
