I think the part referred to is when Remy's dad says, "Shutup and eat your garbage". I still don't know how I feel about shutup in a kid's film. I dunno, does that seem nitpicky to you guys?? In any case, that's gotta be the "worst" language ever heard in a Pixar film. It's certainly better than hearing "Who the hell" from Donkey. Another part is the "sexual" part in the film where Linguini thinks about putting Remy down his crotch (it's not as bad as it sounds). Personally, I think Pixar handled this perfectly. The joke could have been grosser with a crack at how it's smelly or something, but it didn't go there. In a Dreamworks film, I'm not so sure it wouldn't have gone there. I mean, in Shrek 3 Donkey sees Shrek fully nude.

Like the comments before mine, it is apparent in films like Transformers and POTC 2 & 3, that they are marketed to children and wholly not appropriate for chilldren. I have nieces and nephews that see these ads and beg to go and see these films. But after seeing many of these things myself, I am shocked at the line of young kids sitting in the theaters with me. Disney still gives us family films to see on a regular basis that help to keep our kids away from the PG-13 ratings that are thrown at them everyday.

The Transformers is a happymeal deal with kids toys (including simple transformers for toddlers) and its PG-13. Plus, they apparently had to trim some scenes for that rating Here’s what I don’t get.

Saw the sneak preview and am taking the niece and nephew to see it again this weekend. Ratatouille is excellent.
