On one side, I can see where parents would be concerned about the violence on the screen.
On the other side, I recall watching some pretty violent cartoons and stuff when I was a kid, and it never did me any real harm. What did hurt me more than watching violence in cartoons or on TV was actually the real life violence I had to see inflicted upon my mother by my father.
Parents can explain that whatever they see on the screen is not real...you can't do that when you're living with it.
And now that I'm remembering back all those years, I do recall that the movie that affected me the most was, surprisingly, "Lassie Come Home".
Even as a little kid I always had a soft spot for animals, and the thought of an animal being lost and not being able to find its way home just broke my heart. Seriously.
Anyway, my thoughts on the subject... Parents need to do what they feel is right for their own kids.
