WARNING: The Tale of Despereaux is Absolutely Fucking Terrifying

Just got back from taking my 5 year old daughter to see The Tale of Desperaux at the Pavillion; Holy Fucking Shit – I need a drink and we both need counseling!
It was rated G of course, but I think The Motion Picture Association of America's Rating System must be staffed by psychotic fundamentalist Christians:
ANY movie that is animated seems to automatically be rated G, while any movie that mentions friggin evolution gets a PG-13.
Please someone make an animated movie about bong hits and teen sex so I can see what they rate it. Oh, wait.
Regardless, The Tale of Despereaux featured:
- Choking Death
- Wailing Mothers watching their children be led to execution
- Daughter sold into slavery
- Gladiator-style death
- Fully-grown hot blonde animated human female tied down to be eaten by rats in horrifying ceremony.
- Manic depression
- Scary fuckin bad guys
Fuck that shit!
Believe me, I saw Faces of Death 10 times when I was fifteen – I'm all for horror – but don't make the goddamn trailer make the movie look like Ratatouille II and give the shit a G rating.
Thanks a lot you fucktards - now I gotta sit up till 11pm with my terrified kid, readin' her Eloise. Can't even get laid on New Years Fuckin Eve??
Avoid.

Get the fuck outta here! Thanks for the heads up.
I took my 8 year olds to see it today. The coming attractions for the National Guard scared the shit outa me
Oh man!
I wish I had seen this post yesterday instead! I took my 3 year old to see this yesterday, and just could not believe how dark it was.
Definitely a real error in judgment on the part of the rating system. I suspect industry politics has a lot to do with this (a lot of big names were involved in this production - did you see the cast??) and a PG rating would absolutely kill them.
