Alert - Iron Giant Movie, strong anti-hunting and anti-gun agenda targeted at our kids.
Since most of us are parents, I thought it was necessary to alert you to a new video called "The Iron Giant" (distributed by Warner Bros). This recently released video is being marketed to kids in the 3-10 year old range in time for Christmas.
The video is heavily anti-hunting and anti-gun, it also includes cursing. The movie contains a scene where the Giant runs off two hunters from a harvested buck. He then tries to play with the deer. A young boy, the giant's friend, explains that the deer is dead and was shot by hunters. The giant's eyes turn red with anger and both boy and Giant slump to the ground, over the dead deer, in sorrow. This is one scene in a movie that is filled with negative stereotypes of hunters and legal ownership of firearms. Remember Bambi?
We are urging sportsmen to spread the word that this video is better left on the shelves. It may be helpful to let Warner Bros., along with promoters KMart and WalMart know that this video is offensive to law abiding gun owners and sportsmen. It is especially offensive to those of us who are parents and who do not appreciate psychological manipulation of our children's social values.
