It shows that not all families have two parents present and sends a positive message that you can still be a secure family unit if only one parent is present.<BR/>I don't think Disney films devalue fathers at all, take for example in Finding Nemo when Nemo's mother is killed in the opening scence or in Ratouille wheere there is mention of a mother.<BR/>So i think it's very equal and after all it's just a movie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-72228730874783712862008-07-15T22:12:00.000-05:002008-07-15T22:12:00.000-05:00Thanks Tania!

I like the Andy's dad was a lawman killed in the line of duty angle myself, that seems to explain things satisfactorilly. <BR/><BR/>Vince, yeah, that's really annoying. Coincidentially, I just saw the end of an episode of Quantum Leap the other day where Sam had to fight for custody of his father even though he wasn't the best conventional choice.mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-8508456329877797002008-07-15T17:59:00.000-05:002008-07-15T17:59:00.000-05:00The vast majority of movies and TV shows devalue f...The vast majority of movies and TV shows devalue fathers.

Babies everywhere)<BR/><BR/>I like the I like the possessed doll idea, ala Chucky. But that could be me, because I also like the kidnapping scenario. It gives a Disney picture a whole new depth and twistiness, especially considering the premise of TS2, when the toys are stolen. Dramatic irony?Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142380580388373496noreply@blogger.com
