Watching the movie Mulan, I see alot of violence. From the beginning,
where the soldiers come over the wall, to the scene where the Hun leader
looks at the two men running back to tell the emperor of the Hun army and
he mentions to his right-hand man, how many men does it take to deliver
a message, and the last thing you see in that seen is him shooting
an arrow...

Let's see. Hercules punches monsters. Mulan slashes at people with
swords. Pocohantas has then shooting people with guns and arrows. Tarzan
even has violence. I didn't even mention the ones that people talked about
before, Beauty and the Beast and Lion King. Look at Cruela D'Vil. If
that isn't road rage, I haven't a clue what it is! Disney movies are
considered Y. So what is the big deal about HP? I am quite confused over
the whole big deal.

Yes, there are elements that I will watch my son for before GoF makes
it in his hands. Right now (at three) I know the audio is all he gets,
he ignores anything that my computer spits out orally anyway! Grins.
