Children's films featuring more violence

An Associated Press article on the increase in violence in children's movies quotes Elayne Rapping, professor of American studies, who says that as animation techniques become more sophisticated and cartoons speak to audiences of all ages, the animated world looks more like reality and people become increasingly desensitized, so movies have to be more and more viscerally exciting. The article appeared in more than 110 outlets across the U.S. and Canada, including USA Today, The New York Times, CNN and The Washington Post. Go to article.
