Are Kids Movies Getting More Violent?

Published by homeschooling under Movies Edit This

Kids went to see the latest Narnia movie - The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian As i was in the first one, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe I was really taken aback at the violence- it seemed more like Lord of The Rings than a Disney movie.

Lots of terrifying creatures, Orc-like things and heavy themes for small children.

I am not against violence or violent movies- just so odd that this one is SO over the top an marketed to really young kinds. When The later harry Potter;s came out people were taking about how frightening they might be- well I just don’t see the comparison. You are not taking many 4.5 year olds to recent harry potter movies- most people any way. These Narnia movies are too violent to be marketed to preschoolers.

Am I crazy? I am pretty liberal but this has me a bit mystified.

One response so far
