My wife and I have been looking for movies appropriate for our 3.5 year old daughter being shown in theaters. We were delighted to know that a local theater was shoding this movie for a few days and took her there this morning.

The movie started with a man {pig's owner} getting critically injured because of pig. The plot then followed to having pig's owner's wife getting abused by assorted characters. Next was a scene where pig is abducted by monkeys that belong to a very disgusting clown. Following that scene pig causes the clown's act to catch on fire and the clown to get critically injured. There is a shot where the clown is being brought on a stretecher looking like Darth Vader outside of his encounter suit! Meanwhile there have been no friendly or nice scenes. So it was nice to see a scene where a duck gets dropped off by a pelican and lands in a beautiful meadow. But as soon as the duck lands things change. A target board pops up behind it and a bunch of people start shooting at it!! At this point my daughter was in tears and we took her and left the movie theater.

I really want to know why does the acclaimed director think that a bunch of people shooting at a duck is right for ~3 year old kids. I am also amazed that this movie gets a G. Just because the main character is an animal it does not make the movie safe for young childern. If you have very young children I strongly suggest that you avoid this movie.

It is horrifying even with both parents next to the child.
