The other reason for zombie outbreaks is that they don’t get locked any more.
I don’t always mind the zombies, though. At least it mitigates the endless repeats of <50 post threads talking about the exact same subject every six months.
Though, at some point, a girl travels back in time and…
Falls in love with her father.
Syndrome was a bad guy, but I’m not all that impressed by the “good guys.” We were over all this in a thread years ago, so briefly:
The scene at the end where the Parrs are cheering for Dash as he deliberately takes second place in a race where all the other runners are normals summarized the ugly streak in the movie for me. They were basically cheering him for doing a fine job of toying with the normals. Dash running against normal kids was in no way, shape, or form a competition. Would you cheer for a ripped 20 year old MMA champion getting into the ring and beating down a bunch of toddlers?
Mr. Incredible was an especially nasty piece of ego, IMO. Everything was about him feeding his own desires. He fought crime for excitement, primarily, because he spends much of the movie pouting over being bored. Yet he also wants to whine that he “has” to do it. Remember that line during the “newsreel” footage at the beginning where he whinges about could the world “stay saved” for a change? Then there’s the whole lying to his wife and concealing stuff from her when he sees the chance to start supering on the sly.
The whole thing just reeked of Randian virtue of selfishness blather.
My boys (now 11 & 8) were more grossed out by the gal with the big boobs & pasties! 
I think Bob is just driven by a sense of duty: he can save the normals, so what kind of a human being would just let people be hurt or killed just because a stupid law says he can’t? The fact that he lies to Helen is just story conflict between a husband and wife unique to supers. If the world would “just stay saved,” then he could really retire with a clear conscience.
Your first point is something I noticed as well. The conflict there is that Dash wants to participate in school sports even when there’s no point, because he can win any race. But he just wants to fit in at school. So instead of forbidding him from competing altogether, they teach him how to fake-lose. He can’t even hold himself back and win; he has to come in second. So they’re really teaching him to hide among the normals, as he will have to do every day of his life. Poor kid.
Maybe it was not really supposed to be a kid’s movie, I just thought it was supposed to be.
Pan’s Labyrinth.
I would NOT show that to young children.
As long as this thread keeps getting revived, might as well pitch in…
~ Once Upon a Forest. I brought this movie up in a screed about Hanna-Barbera, but didn’t elaborate as to why I hate it. Near the beginning of the movie an entire family of badgers is gassed to death. The rest of the movie is not good enough to make up for that, so the depressing nature of it stays with you for a while.
~ The Pebble and the Penguin. Cookie-cutter, mediocre romantic yarn with a cruel twist: one of the major conflicts in this movie involves a female penguin who will be banished from her flock if she doesn’t mate by a certain time. Tim Curry voices a creepy, sadistic male penguin who tries to coerce her into mating with him in order to escape this fate. All set to music by Barry Manilow 
EDIT: I would argue that films from outfits like Pixar are more properly called “family films” since they have certain elements that appeal to people other than the veyr young. Therefore I think they can reasonably get away with slightly more mature content (like the violence in The Incredibles and the garbage planet in WALLE*) The two movies that I listed are more directly aimed at younger audiences.
I don’t know that it was specifically aimed at children (it’s the kind of thing that would have played at Saturday matinees when I was a kid), but Val Lewton followed up his very effective chiller Cat People with an abomination called Curse of the Cat People, which is a total glorification of inept, irresponsible, abusive parenting. It starts with Mom and Dad rather viciously dumping all over their little daughter for dropping letters into the back-yard tree because they’d told her it was a “fairy mailbox,” and she believed them–and then actually gets worse from there. I was looking forward to the both of them getting torn apart by cat people before the movie ended.
It’s rated 15 in the UK, so no, it’s not a kid’s movie.
Out of interest, what made you think that it was for kids? The trailer? The title? I had no idea what the film was about until my parents rented it on the advice of a colleague (when I was eighteen, so not because “your boy will love this!”) so I don’t know how the film was marketed at all.
I am…aroused.
