Get a Horse! (2013)

Certain action sequences within the cartoon were 'interesting'

[5/10 · 4 December 2013]

Watched the cartoon while in Williamsburg on Nov 30. In my opinion, certain action sequences in the film were 'interesting.' When Mickey pulled Minnie off the back of the wagon and put Clarabelle in her place, Clarabelle lifts her dress to show her udders to Pete with a 'leer' on her face. Also, Pete swinging and holding Minnie by her tail. And then there is poor Pete, continually stabbed in the rear end with a pitch fork. When Mickey found out he could reverse the action by spinning the screen, we saw Pete's behind pounded over and over. Look, I grew up with Tom and Jerry and yes many old-timey cartoons were violent by today's standards. I recognize that there is sex and violence in media. Knowing there were children in the audience, I turned to my wife and said, "Is this as violent as I think it is?" She said, "OMG, I thought I was the only one to realize it." Some child's mother was answering many questions after that showing. Fortunately Frozen was great and I'm sure the 'disturbing' parts of the cartoon were a distant memory.
