Too many swear words for younger kids.

Rating: 2/10 (19 July 2005)

We watched this with our 6 and 7 year old kids thinking it was a great kids movie. We should have researched a bit more. Most of the movie they were gasping (both can read) at the swear words.
What's the deal lately with kids movies needing to say things like "Oh Sh(pause)ugar honey iced tea!" (reference to "Oh Sh*t") and "Damn, Hoover Dam"
It's unnecessary and could be just as well played with a "Darn, Rats" etc.
After Shark Tale and now Madagascar we're pretty much giving up on Dreamworks cartoons if one more is released with this kind of crap in it.
Really, do they need to show the word HELL behind the lion when he's feeling bad? We know he's feeling bad, he LOOKS sad. Keep it simple Dreamworks, and all of us families with kids will be back again and again. We spend BIG bucks at theatres to keep our kids happy. Don't miss out on it because you have to be a "cool guy company".
Keep up the garbage mouthing, and we'll leave you cold.
