great for kids, they'll love it! a classic pixar.

If you remove the little bug creatures, this movie becomes an adult movie, with all its ingredients of violence and language abuse. The gang mentality to squash or diminsh other groups; the beating up; the threatening. Replace Hoper and the little ant heroe during his beating by Hoper for human beings, try to imagine it as you hear the sounds, and then decide for yourself you if would ever want your young children to see this. When we start at such early age to expose our children to such level of aggression, we are actually working towards disensitizing them.

There is nothing that parents should find offensive in this movie other then the grasshoppers who might frighten young children.

This is a good kids movie. I did not care for some of the humor, but by no means offensive.

Rent Spirited Away for your child instead.

This movie left my 7 year-old terrified and worried about what is good in the world. Although we liked the general message of working together, being an innovator, and overcoming oppression the level of violence makes this movie unacceptable for families that try not to expose their young children to it. If the same story was told through actors it would have been PG at least.

My wife and I are generally happy with the Pixar movies and do not usually feel that we need to "preview" a Pixar movie before letting our oldest child watch it, but this movie changed this practice. We sat down to watch it with our son when he was 4 and turned it off after the first 10 minutes. In the first 10 minutes, there was enough violence and inappropriate words that we both turned to each other at the same time and shook our heads. We did not need our son going up to other kids, hitting them and calling them "stupid". Though others say this movie has a good moral message, we were not willing to stick around long enough to hear it. There are a ton of other movies more appropriate from which they can get good messages without learning bad ones in the process. The good does not offset the bad in this case.

It does have a few scary parts in it, like when the grasshoppers attack. It has action and cute little bugs.
