Violence Against Boys in Children's Cinema
Chad from the Men's Movement Connection writes, "Recently Disney has released a new motion picture. "The Princess Diaries," targeted towards a younger audience, is rated "G," but the movie contains a scene where the character played by "Erik Von Detten" is sexually abused. This was shown in the theatrical trailer. We must try to stop the male bashing in at least Children's Cinema before it gets out of control." Contact info for Disney is listed in the Read More section of this story. To contact The Classification and Rating Administration, to voice your opinion on how a movie with such imagery could possibly swing a "G" rating!? Write to them at:
