Review of Thunder and the House of Magic

I never write reviews about movies but I was so let down with this movie that I had to. I took my 4 year old to see this based on a lot of the positive reviews. First of all, to be fair, the animation is pretty good. That's the only good thing. This movie was disturbingly hostile from the very start. Almost every major scene revolves around someone hurting someone else. This fact overrides any positive messages in the movie, in my opinion. The word 'd*mn' is used at least 3 times from what I can recall, if not more. It's one thing when your kids hear that kind of language from strangers in public places but it's another thing to have it delivered to them in a children's movie. I've seen a lot of kids movies but can't think of one that has a level of hostility/violence anything close to this (harshly abandoning a kitten, trying to shoot a kitten with a shotgun, bulldozing a house, sending an old man to the hospital, the list goes on). I regret taking my daughter to see it and the money I paid to see this was a total waste.
