It is just a movie, and its influence on YOUR kids will be as deep or as shallow as you let it be.

The fact is, this movieWILL turn some kids into anti-hunters, just as Bambi did.

Not just some kids mind you. SO maybe it has a profound impact on 20-30% of the kids that see it. Keep in mind that we're talking about 20-30% of millions of kids.
I'm not exactly the "everyone's out to get me" type. Generally I like to think that the general population is of a good heart and basically openminded. But if you don't think the AR are raging WAR on our way of life, your sticking your head in the sand. PETA put billboards up in hunting areas saying "Jesus was a vegeterian... don't hunt". They handed out bloody Colonel Sanders dolls holding a chicken in one hand and clever in another... AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. The HSUS has declared that their goal is to end hunting in every shape and form. They commithundreds of millionsof dollars to lobbying in state legislatures for bills such as to raise the minimum hunting age to prevent our sharing of our pastime with our children.

Tell me this isn't misinformation warfare.
An all out assault:

I don't know exactly what to do about any of it, but I do know that I'm not paranoid.

This movie appears to play more along the lines of Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner and it's slapstick over the top visual humor in the pursuit of a meal than Bambi's pursuit by Hunters who's sole destruction of the woods and all in it scared the crap out of a lot of kids. Being the father of a kid who absoluteyy loves everything to do with animals, this type of flick is just juvenile humor that will not bridge the gap to real life.... but should make for a funny show to see and laugh at the make believe "battle" between Hunter and Hunted.
Personally, I am looking forward to seeing it. For those of uswho are watching these types of movies with our kids, at least the subject of hunting is in a movie! It will be kind of like watching Blue Collar TV (Jeff Foxworthy), just laughing at an over the top stereo-type portrayal of those who love the outdoors! I'm all for it, but then again I am not of the "eveyone is out to get me" camp.
