    I'm an animation propellor-head, so you have to expect me to disagree with this: "Pixar was mainly responsible for the renaissance of the G/PG-rated family film in the 1990s." Can I be blunt and say that inspired teams of artists at Disney, Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Pixar, Aardman, Studio...

    "If a movie could be deemed as needing a rating higher than PG for a sequence like that then I guess art museums and libraries will start having to card people upon entrance because you can see that and a lot more at both places." Well - consider this...the female vampires and harpies in...

    "Ernest, I do believe what you said, except for the 'no government bodies' part. Aren't, correct that, wasn't Clinton a government body? And the FTC still is."
