>So don't go learn from khan academy how to emulate Pixar, learn to tell kids stories without fear and violence.

To prepare them for life in the magical unicorn fairy-land?

Besides, have you read the original Brothers Grimm stories and such?

Sure, good point. In the video where the story artist talks about simba talking to his dead father, she said that it traumatized her but that she grew up a little after that.

I know we don't know much about what's the best way to raise kids. But history doesn't always teach good lessons.


I don't take my kids to movies to prepare them for life, I take them for fun, to be entertained.

Yes, in a magical unicorn fairyland.

Sounds like you either don't have kids or you're prepping them for doomsday.

Yeah, let's produce more fragile snowflake adults that can't handle life, and can't understand movies and art either, unless it is merely "entertainment". Because that has worked so well in this past few generations.

>Sounds like you either don't have kids or you're prepping them for doomsday.

Or you know, am using millennia old best practices of preparing them for life, for which art, storytelling and (this last century) movies has been one of the best ways.

Instead of feeding them the art-equivalent of McDonalds, which is bad for their soul and for their upbringing.
