G rated these days is overstated.

Too many of these “kids” programs in the last 35 years have been full of double entendres and agendas and just plain potty humor. Including Toy Story.

They have heart, at least, but honestly it’s not truly innocent children stuff anymore.

I get your point, and TS3 caught some heat for the intense furnace scene (no pun intended). And sure...what's PG-13 would have been R years ago and so on.

But Disney cartoons from the 1960s were pretty intense (101 Dalmations comes to mind). The little DoodleBobs watched Looney Toons growing up and nobody ran off a cliff or dropped an anvil on anyone's head or ran around shooting their shotguns with wreckless abandon...And Bugs was a transvestite at times!!

I'd have no problem playing the entire Toy Story series (and Finding Nemo and The Incredibles) to children of all ages. But Sesame Street has gone down the tubes, as has most of the content on PBS...which is why Nickelodeon does so well - there is GENERALLY not an agenda and it's just fun.

LOL, I always think of Monsters Inc. with the yellow snow cones, "Oh no no no no, it's lemon!" Wonder how many kids got that one?
