   > As a youngster I was always deeply traumatized by any scenes of death or   
   serious injury in children's movies; I would often have nightmares about stuff   
   like this.  A reason it affected me so much was that I was completely "laid   
   open" emotionally while    
   watching movies, eagerly and trustingly assuming that the films would be clean   
   and joyfully-entertaining, and so whenever anything violent or harsh like this   
   happened in the story, it would always "strike hard and deep" into my soul.    
   (More than once    
   during film-showings in school, a student would start crying and want to leave   
   the theater because of a scary/upsetting scene; sometimes even an older   
   student than myself)  I don't think children's movies should contain negative   
   or scary stuff like this.    
    It needlessly upsets children during their tender years.   
      
   Now me, I've always been traumatized by people writing long strings of   
   text without any FUCKING LINE BREAKS.   
      
   But maybe that's just me.
