My wife thinks the Umpa Lumpa song, particularly the line about the fat girl, will give our daughters (1 & 3) problems with body image.

I think it’s a harmless funny movie with fun songs.

who’s being unreasonable?

Isn’t this a game- take a normal film and turn it into a porno?

The ones I can remember are Romancing the Bone, an Officer and and a Genitalman and Saturday night Beaver. Oh and school of Cock.

They did this on Frasier. ‘Drive this, Miss Daisy’, ‘David Cop-a -feel’, etc.

Can't please em all tho. Miserable nuggets (I wrote buggers and my phone changed it, I like this too) I'm gonna get bullied ALOT in a min

fuckssaaaaake · 01/02/2024 22:46

I know this is deliberate and I like you for that. Not too try hard and not too offensive. Good

I suspect most kids aged three and below will sleep through a lot of it. It's a beautiful movie, but lots of exposition.

I do take issues of body image seriously, but I don't think watching this movie will do any harm.

Don't care if it is deliberate or not it made me smile after a very bad day

my thoughts too, the O and A are nowhere near each other. And Wanka isn't a real word, so not autocorrect either.

Just came here to say this. Aiming for classics @DefendingPan ? Wink

Stick to baby and toddler programs for now

I think this should go in classics. Pleeeeeeease!

A deliberate typo is hardly classics material 🙄

But to answer your actual question OP - I think your wife is overthinking it and I think your kids are way too young to enjoy this film or even have any clue about what is going on.

Oh and I believe it's Ooompa Loompa, rather than Umpa

It's not a typo, it's OP trying to be totes hilare.

Probably. Still made me laugh though

cauliflowerqueen · 01/02/2024 20:44

I wouldn't be so certain it was intentional. Not an autocorrect, but a misspelling? (Like 'umpa' instead of 'oompa'.)

Augustus Gloop wouldn't worry me, but since you'll be watching at home, you could just skip over that song, if it's a concern.

I hope that's a joke. Or there really is no hope for MN.

languagestudenthost · 01/02/2024 20:35

More seriously your children are both too young for this film- they will be bored. Try a mini morning (vue cinema) it equivalent for the 3 year old.
At 3 I took my DD to see the CBeebies panto at the cinema which she enjoyed
