    @Dmagnificent... "Dubious"?

    While I agree with your defense of "Little Mermaid" and "Pocahontas" (which were both terrific), I can't support the disparaging of "Mom and Dad Save the World."

    I originally saw the movie only because it was assigned to me at work (for closed-captioning/subtitling), but it is surprisingly entertaining, well-structured, and very, very funny... and it actually puts forth several gentle lessons about how to be a decent human being (not to mention the wonderful fact that a then 45-year-old Teri Garr was the main love/lust interest).

    We could do a lot worse by our kids.
