In Robin Hood they have Little John portraying a woman with large breasts, which is almost as bad as this; Disney often has mild innuendo, but nothing too serious. Universal on the other hand; well, I don't know their standards. :P

Showing a character dressing up as a buxom woman is hardly comparable to showing characters engaged in vices in cartoons aimed primarily at children. Nor would a child be as likely to pick up on dressing up as a buxom woman as a matter of habit (unless they've somehow become a transvestite) as he or she would to give a try at smoking or drinking alcohol...which are actually physically harmful behaviors.

I agree with Fahus statement on ADGTH. And personally I dont see Stella as "pumped up" to put it as some people do. I dont think children really pay attention to that, more to the move shes making on Boris.

I think Don had a interest to gambling if he featured it in a movie as small as The Great Mouse Detective.

Let's all just remove any indication that an animated character is female. Remove any breasts, eyelashes, makeup, and other feminine attributes, because children obviously cannot be subject to it. In fact, let us remove all female characters from every movie, because women/females have no place on the screen. That way, we will never have to worry about children getting the wrong idea.

Sexual innuendos should also be removed, and replaced with subtle references to the importance of brushing one's teeth and being polite to everybody they meet. Because as we know, sexual innuendos are very well understood by children and therefore damaging to their development.

I think Ghost-Unit was being sarcastic in the long run (notice /sarcasm at the end of his quote). Removing females fully from the scene would ruin Balto A LOT! Aleu, Jenna, and Dusty (maybe even more) would need to be removed, not just Stella. Yawn, Im sorry but it would make a movie too "bland" to teach those basic things over n over.

Eyelashes really dont express anything sexual either. The bottom line is females should be used just as much as males.

Best thing I've ever read ever. That was... wow. Just perfect. Spot-on. I couldn't agree more.

It's not like hearing "oh my god" is going to brainwash kids into anything religious, it's just a phrase nowadays.

All though it's not the sort of film you'd see on Animation Source, Ice Age has some stuff which may not be 'kid-friendly' but they are family films, so I presume they add more 'adult' jokes in so the film is entertaining for the whole family.

Like in Ice Age three, near the end, there is a rather funny joke, which most children don't even get so I don't see the problem with it c:

Sid: "It's a boy!"
Diego: "That's it's tail..."
Sid: "It's a girl!"

Also, about the breasts thing with Stella I don't see a problem with that either, it's not as bad as a famous toy store like Toy's 'R' us selling baby dolls with proper genitals which is aimed for 3-8 year old children ^^

...although I think there is a difference between having a female character with female characteristics, and having a female character make sexual innuendos all the time.

Again (and I keep having to say this for people who maintain this argument), one word: Dixie. She was no different in behavior. And in fact, whereas Stella was a stronger "woman", Dixie was a dingie airhead.

When I saw that behavior bit about Dixie, I spotted a parallel between the way she would hit on Steele and the way Stella would hit on Boris. Anyone else here see the similarity?
And who is this Fritz The Cat character that steet mentioned in that one post?

I saw it, sure. Seems that a lot of others keep missing it, oddly.

Fritz the Cat? Ugh. Well, I wouldn't link it here, but it was a comic about the sexual escapades of a cartoon cat. Drawn by a guy named Robert Crumb. Lame work by a lame artist. But strangely, it actually ended up in animation.
