First off, Happy Feet “is heavily reliant on racial stereotypes as relayed through voice quality/dialect” (Polyglot Conspiracy). No one is really surprised, though.
Meanwhile, Michael Medved apparently wants the government to protect “unprepared parents” from penguin “propaganda.” Parents like “MikeP29p,” who says, “We took our kids ages 6 and 4 last night because they wanted to go because they saw the commercials.” Don’t you understand? These parents clearly have no choice but to take their kids to PG-rated films once they’ve seen the commercials!
Randomly selected from the IMDB (Titles with certificate: USA:PG), here are a few children’s video rental suggestions for “MikeP29p”:
