I *hate* it when even respected film reviewers don't point out these facts when gushing over how great a kids' movie is. I wouldn't want my 7 yo daughter witnessing that either (mind you, I did take her to see "The Sound of Music" on the big screen, and there were the guns and Nazis but it somehow didn't seem that bad).
