Then you're braver than me That last scene stayed with me forever, even now I can recall it very graphically. In retrospect, it really isn't a kids' movie, though it's good to watch especially at an impressionable age. Oddly enough though, that was about the age (10) when I started eating meat (been a veggie up until then), but I guess I didn't make the connection, 'cause really, if you think about how the average piece of meat is 'made', it's pretty much the same principle (animal cruelty). But that's another discussion entirely.
