[**“Unfrosted” - A satire of the children’s cereal industry**](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14914430/)

I’m hoping some of you have or will watch this movie because I really want opinions on it. My view on it is that many children’s cereals make a mockery of the words “food” and “nutrtion”, but “Unfrosted” raised that well founded criticism to new heights. What say you?

It sounds like you’re looking more for opinions on how the movie satirizes the cereal industry rather than the movie as a whole, but for general opinions on the movie I had created a thread you may be aware of, which I’ll link it here since it’s related:

My opinion, as mentioned elsewhere, is that it is a profoundly silly vanity project by Seinfeld but I enjoyed it for what it was, particularly the two dumpster children. I would strongly suggest you don’t think too hard about any potential social commentary and just enjoy the pure unadulterated silliness of it.

Thanks! I’ll switch over to the other thread.
