I wish I could get my sister to stop promoting this stuff and letting her kids see them.

They "dress up" these as kid shows w/animation so kids will be dying to see them, and promote them endlessly. Then w/all the peer pressure to boot, the kids pressure parents to take them/let them see so&so "kid's" movie. It's like a no-win situation. You have to be really hard-ball to never go to such wolf-in-sheep's clothing movies.

And that's the real sad thing - there IS no innocent kid's movie. Just like there's no innocent "adult" movie. Hasn't been for ages.

I don't have kids, so I'm not really in the market for kids' movies, but I occasionally will rent one if the hype is big enough. I thought the first Harry Potter movie was good fun; had it come out when I was a lad, I may have seen it several times. I hope there's no silly objection based on matters of occult themes or other nonsense.

So what you're saying is that your sister is not the boss of her kids.

Don't blame "society" or "culture" for your sister's lack of parental spine.

Okay, I'll bite -- what "non-innocent" parts did I miss in "Finding Nemo" and "The Iron Giant"?

"Winnie the Pooh and the Hunny Tree" and "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" are about as harmless as they get. Unless you think Christopher Robin is gay. If you do, then do watch some Ninja Turtles or something.
