I know this sounds crazy....re: TANGLED

Do you think the movie Tangled will promote kids hitting each other on the head with fying pans? I know that sounds totally crazy but my 4 year old LOOOOVES the movie and I feel that kids will emulate.....thoughts?

I think you are borrowing trouble. Just keep an eye on those frying pans.

 

[PatsMom]

I think there are about a million things I would worry about ahead of the frying pans.

 

[BeefJerky]

Yes.

I better lock up my frying pans before anyone gets crazy ideas.

I guess I"m the only one worried about this. I saw the movie twice this past weekend and it got my wheels turning.

I was an avid Road Runner/Coyote fan and never felt the urge to jump off a cliff or strap dynamite to myself. But then again, I was not a 4 yr old little boy either.

I seriously doubt kids will begin hitting each other with frying pans but if you're really concerned about it, just make sure to explain to your DS while you're watching the movie, that it's not nice to do that to other people and that it could really hurt someone.

This was my very first thought too

Frying Pans...who knew, right?!

 

[sparks19]

can't say I'm overly concerned about it. My daughter loves that movie and hasn't gone for the frying pan yet. She also hears Mr potato head calling everyone a moron in Toy Story but she doesn't go around calling people that herself.

NOW if I was a kid again and me and my little bro watched that movie I might get some ideas about taking a frying pan to his head LOL. just kidding... sorta

So... individual kids probably not... siblings? you might need to worry

 

[Jestocost]

Keep your kids away from Tom & Jerry for sure. You might have to lock everything up.

Well, I know I've kept Acme in business for the last 40 years, so I guess I'd hide the frying pans quickly. Kids are SO gullible!

I like the ones with the anvil being dropped. That and when the coyote paints an escape tunnel on a rock. I do that every year when we go to the Smokies. Tourists.

Here is my take on this, and others may disagree. This is where parenting comes into play, sit and watch it with them and explain how it isn't real and that it would seriously hurt someone if they were hit like that. My kids watched everything that other kids weren't allowed to watch, I explained how it wan't real, they understood and I never had any problems with them watching things like this.

Well, let me tell you. When my son was around 4, he used to watch a Nickelodeon show called "What Would You Do," where people would get hit in the face with a pie. He loved that show and watched it pretty much every day. We were having dinner at my parents' house and my mom had made a cake. He took the cake, walked right up to her and slammed it in her face. OMG, the looks on everybody's faces!

Yeah, we didn't watch that show anymore. It just didn't OCCUR to me to think to tell him that shoving creamy desserts in people's faces is inappropriate. Lesson learned.

I raised two boys and the only thing they ever emulated was power rangers and teenage mutant ninja turtles but ONLY when they were in costume. I think it's quite a stretch to think kids are going to go grab frying pans. It's about parenting, but it's also that kids will probably remember the movie for other reasons and never even think about a frying pan. Don't give kids the thought processes that adults have.

And, my boys watched road runner, Tom & Jerry, etc as did my sisters and I and NONE of us ever attempted anything we saw on a cartoon or movie.

No more or less than the Three Stooges poking each other in the eye made some one do that.

I grew up watching Coyote and Roadrunner, and never once did I drop a giant rock on anyones head or try to order dynamite from Acme TNT Co. I think your son will be OK.

Honest to God, after seeing Tangled I wondered if there would be a rash of boys trying to climb girls with long hair on school playgrounds. Never thought about the frying pan.

I think that sounded a lot worse to me then you intended it to.

You laugh but as kids, my 2 BFFs and I had the Three Stooges routines down backwards and forwards, including (usually fake) hair pulls, slaps, eye pokes, fists, etc.

We also had every single Little Rascal memorized. . .which, actually, you know. Little Rascals = live action grandparents of Phineas and Ferb.
