I loved Peter Pan when I was younger. Well, I should say, when I was 12. It was just a sweet, fun, adventurous story. I haven’t seen it since. But I somehow own the dvd – pre-Jules. Weird.

I showed it to him the other night and, wow, is that a violent and somewhat scary cartoon for kids. This is the most violence Jules has seen and naturally, he’s glued to it.

It’s much different than Thomas & Friends‘ gentle “James was cross,” or “Cinder and Ashes!” Peter Pan has sword fighting, beating up girls, missing hands, bombs, drowning, and pirates.

But then it ends so sweetly.

I think I’ll hold off showing him Bambi.
