Robots (PG) was an enjoyable experience at the local Warsaw theater last evening.
Of course the theater was full of children and families, but “child-noises” aside, we enjoyed our experience very much!
Like most of the latest animated feature-films, there is enough humor for both children and adults to make this movie enjoyable by multiple generations.
But, with that “humor” for multi-generations, there are SOME things that children may not “get”, but COULD cause “questions” and even cause what I believe is Hollywood’s agenda – over-saturation of inuendo – causing a younger-and-younger generation of “in-the-know” children.
Inuendo #1: the bathroom signs in “ROBOT LAND” were of an electrical outlet for “women’s” and a plug for “men’s”. (a humorous chuckle for two 25-year-olds, but surely a curious thing for the 1st and 2nd graders in front of us)
Inuendo #2: Robin William’s character ‘changes parts’ and ends up wearing a skirt and warns those below him in a scene to “watch where they put their hands”.
Along with numerous other inappropriate-for-children scenes make me once again cringe at what Hollywood is marketing as a children’s film.
In my opinion, parents should be VERY discerning with what they allow their children to be exposed to! On the other hand, those parents who “shelter” their children from all things “culture” are possibly doing the same, if not MORE harm!
My suggestion: if you do expose your children to ‘inuendo’ like what we saw in Robots and those ‘inuendos’ don’t go over your child’s head like what probably happens in most situations – TALK! Answer questions. Communicate. Do what is OPPOSITE of what seems to currently be happening in our culture-driven society!

Garden State (R) was a not-so-pleasant rent last night. Even at $4.75 for the rent of this DVD at Blockbuster, it was honestly a waste of that hard-earned $4.75.
