From the article

The movie features a male-to-female transgender (in transition) as an evil bartender. The character has a five o'clock shadow, wears a dress and has female breasts. It is clear that he is a she-male.

How many times do people have to explain, this character is one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters. It's not a man, it's a very UGLY woman!!

During a dance scene at the end of the movie, this transgendered man expresses sexual desire for Prince Charming, jumps on him, and both tumble to the floor.

Again, this is NOT A TRANSGENDERED MAN, it's an UGLY WOMAN!!

..Donkey encourages him to lie about something and suggests he lie about wearing women's underwear. When he denies wearing women's underwear, his nose begins to grow.

My eight year old, who thinks the word "underwear" is funny when uttered in mixed company, didn't think about this twice. Nor did we when we saw Bugs Bunny, Dustin Hoffman, or Robin Williams in drag when we were young.

An earlier scene in the movie features a wolf dressed in grandma's clothing and reading a book when Prince Charming encounters him. Later, one of the characters refers to the wolf's gender confusion.

Now Grimm's Fairy Tales are going to corrupt our kids. The wolf wears Grandma's clothes to trick Red Riding Hood. The reference to gender confusion will go right over kid's heads, like it should. Lighten up, people!!

FWIW, I don't necessarily disagree that corrupting influences can be insidious, but I think children raised with a healthy sense of humor and good parenting that utilizes "teachable moments" at the right stage of the children's development are better equipped to handle life in modern society than those who are completely shielded from everything even remotely negative. As someone said earlier, watching Saturday morning cartoons throughout my childhood hardly made me think dropping an anvil on someone's head was the right thing to do. And I still remember the Interjections! episode of Schoolhouse Rock that showed a little boy's bare cartoon butt. Horrors!!!!

I think kids should be kept kids as long as possible. As I see it, we need to keep watch over everything our kids see in this day because so much has changed, and not for the better in regards to entertainment. Because of what activists judges are doing through-out this country our kids are being bombarded with issues that shouldn't be issues. It's confusing for them, especially when GLSEN is in our schools telling kids it's okay to be homosexual.

I'd have to see the movie to make a definite assessment of the bartender, but that won't happen because folks I personally know, respect and trust have said it's unhealthy for kids; and I'm not going to I waste my time or money previewing the movie for my kids.

Perhaps you didn't think of dropping an anvil on someone's head, and neither did I, but today they're immitating homosexuality in kids movies and kids are also getting a message in school it's okay to be homosexual. Kids are smarter than we realize.

I remember much of the innocent times you mention, but it was a different time in America. Much has changed, and most of what's changed is targeted at the minds of our kids.

Thanks for the civil response.

And I still remember the Interjections! episode of Schoolhouse Rock that showed a little boy's bare cartoon butt. Horrors!!!!

}} {Cough!  Cough!  Cough!}

When Reginald was home with flu, (uh huh)
The doctor knew just what to do:
He cured the infection,
With one small injection,
While Reginald uttered some interjections:

}} {Hey!  That smarts!
}}  Ouch!  That hurts!
}}  Yow!  That's not fair, giving a guy a shot down there!}

Interjections        }} {Hey!}
Show excitement,     }} {Yow!}
Or emotion.          }} {Ouch!}
They're generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.  Mmmm...

Though Geraldine played hard to get,  (uh huh)
Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet.
He showed his affection,
Despite her objections,
And Geraldine hollered some interjections:

}} {Well!  You've got some nerve!
}}  Oh!  I've never been so insulted in all my life!
}}  Hey!  You're kinda cute!}

Interjections        }} {Well!}
Show excitement,     }} {Oh!}
Or emotion.          }} {Hey!}
They're generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.

So when you're happy    }} {Hurray!}
Or sad                  }} {Aw!}
Or frightened           }} {Eeeeeek!}
Or mad                  }} {Rats!}
Or excited              }} {Wow!}
Or glad                 }} {Hey!}
An interjection starts a sentence right!

The game was tied at seven all, (uh huh)
When Franklin found he had the ball.
He made a connection,
In the other direction,
And the crowd starting shouting out interjections:

}} {Aw!  You threw the wrong way!}
}} {Darn!  You just lost the game!}
}} {Hurray!  I'm for the other team!}

Interjections        }} {Aw!}
Show excitement,     }} {Darn!}
Or emotion.          }} {Hurray!}
They're generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point,
Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.

So when you're happy    }} {Hurray!}
Or sad                  }} {Aw!}
Or frightened           }} {Eeeeeek!}
Or mad                  }} {Rats!}
Or excited              }} {Wow!}

Interjections!
Show excitement!
Or emotion!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah... yea!!
