I don't disagree, I think it's out of place in a Toy Story movie as well. But knowing that these character are Carnival prizes, it does make sense in the Toy Story universe that they would have more bite to them. Think about what those prizes have seen and heard traveling around with those carnies. To us as an audience it's a tad off-putting, but thinking about the world of Toy Story, it makes sense. I reserve full judgement until I watch the movie.

EDIT: I just watched that teaser trailer again. And the thing that bothers me the most is that they are self-referential. They are talking about making another Toy Story movie. Self-referential movies are fine, but to start breaking the 4th wall in the 4th movie of a franchise doesn't jive with me.

was thinking about this, I think they are referencing as they have in the past Buzz's source material, aka his show and his tv commercials etc. where he says all of these things

I think it depends a lot on the kid too. I am sure that there are parents who would be shocked, shocked I say, to see some of the things my 9 year old watches and has watched for years now. However, he is mature enough to handle it and enjoys it and knows that he can talk to his mother or I about anything that concerns or confuses him.

I am also very against the puritanical stand that many people seem to take about swearing. I curse like a sailor and have no problem admitting that. They are just words, they are only "bad" if we decide to make them bad. My kids know not to repeat those words because society would consider it improper for a child, but they hear them pretty frequently. There is no shock value to it for them anymore.

to me it's the language thing - everyone is different but to me the more you use swear words the less impact and meaning they have. If I curse 5 times in a year it is a lot but I think when I do it carries more weight. So I don't need my kids to hear those words and don't want them to and if I hear people swearing around them I ask them to please stop it. To me they aren't just words ... so the fact it used the A-word and had the prick joke this is a non-starter for me

But then I am sure there are other things they watch from a topic perspective that others wouldn't let their kids watch - so everyone is different.

We likely will get some big news later today with the earnings call. Iger has been known to drop things during these lately. We have gotten opening dates, film news and more. Some speculation is a SWGE for DL date, and/or Episode 9 title.

I'd love a SWGE DL date... looks like we might be on the west coast over the summer, and I'll have to sneak down to Anaheim if it's open... :)

Every family is different. We have friends that show their kids R rated movies at 10 years old. Another wouldn't let their kid watch PG-13 movies until they were 13, regardless of content. In our town - the middle schoolers are bussed with the high-schoolers - so they start hearing bad language in sixth grade.

I despise this idea (these always-listening devices), and you can be sure I'll unplug it for the length of my stay if they add these. Nope.

MSC launches it's first ship with these devices in the staterooms next month. There is a switch in the stateroom that states it will deactivate the device. Maybe Disney will have that option as well.

Interesting! I’m guilty of wanting to ask Alexa or Google Home something simple like weather when I’m away. If I’m offered this at BC, I will definitely opt-in to see it in action!

I’m curious if Disney will choose Google Home and the adorable Mickey stand, or if there will be a special made Disney device that you say “Ok Disney” to or something.

I may have brought my echo dot so I could ask it about the weather and such this past December.....

I assume format is if anything big comes out you will mention it here but any chatter about details we should go to a dedicated thread?

Heh, i think you're optimistic there. My wife teaches preschool, some of the stories I get from her about her kids and what they'll say or do can still amaze me.
