To all parents - Please take a moment to check out the Blue Ray movie trailers prior to the Happy Feet 2 movie on DVD.
The series of violent, scary, realistic and shocking images are totally unsuitable for young innocent children. Large realistic dinosaurs jumping out of the screen, a giant scorpion, slow motion images of a man being punched so hard in the head that the flesh on his face moves on impact, scary wolves and warrior scenes similar to the images of battle on Lord of the Rings.
We are used to pressing the menu button in order to start the movie quick and don't usually sit through all the advertised trailers. Our children have learnt how to operate the DVD player so we thought nothing of handing over control as Happy Feet 1 was no problem. It turns out that all the movies advertised are for a much, much older age range so this is clearly a disasterous error, but the damage is done now.
I wondered why our daughter suddenly and unexpectedly started getting awful nightmares and when I realised and sat through the trailer I literally cried. The images flash up really quick and without warning in quick succession. I am furious as like everyone else, we try our best to protect but this got into our living room under the radar.
Has anyone else got a view on this.
