Ahem... The film is rated...
You'd know that if you read the post! Funnily enough, it also links out to an neat article discussing a study showing parents aren't reading scary stories to their kids... And why that's bad. Here it is just in case ya need it! Heck, on other bits of social media, I heard about schools showing kids the movie in 5th to 6th grade, in the US even!
Just because a rating agency says something doesn't mean its appropriate, they have strict guidelines, these guidelines revolve around obscenitys, violence, drugs and similar, they don't go on "may not be appropriate for children because the story itself is dark and sad" 12+ would be a ok rating in my opinion, again, its not meant for children, German fairytales aren't either, even though they are classified differently.
Kids below a certain age cant even comprehend the story.
Woah there! German fairy tales were meant for children! That's explicitly their target audience.
The whole point was to scare the children into behaving a certain way. Like, "don't go wandering off alone. Bad things can happen!"
If you just tell your kid that they won't listen. However, if you tell them a story about how kids that wandered off alone into a forest got cooked and eaten by a witch then maybe they'll stick to the village (and be wary of strangers).
Nope, the Grimm fairytales where explicitly for "adults" so about 16 years old at the time. They have very graphics Sex scenes, brutal murders and more.
Struwwelpeter is aimed towards 8 to 12 year olds as they have a more educational purpose. (wich is probably what you are talking about)
I think they issue is different definitions of kid.
Nur zur Info, ich kann so einigermaßen deutsch.
Anyway, Kinder- UND Hausmärchen means "Child story's And "Hausmärchen" (idk how to translate that)"
So there are Children AND Hausmärchen stories, those are two separate things and yes the reality of the time was way different. You wouldn't read the original Rotkäppchen to any child below 16 there is a very graphic rape scene for example.
Again, i think the problem lies in the definition of Child, i define child according to German law, so any human below 14, and i think 12+ would be a appropriate age for the movie grave of the Fireflies. But below that the mental development isn't far enough. Its of course a individual thing, but "you should show grave of the Fireflies to your child" just isn't a good general advice.
Ah thats what you meant.
Sadly a load of parents aren't able to do that, i know of many instances where parents showed children stuff like Rend and Stimpy because it was a cartoon but didn't allow them to watch SpongeBob, so giving undifferentiated advice even if just in a headline isn't a good thing, that is basically my whole point. And regarding such emotionally burdening things, it doesn't hurt the kid not to watch it as soon as possible.
What? No i just did Volunteer work with child that where mentally and or physically abused by their parents.
Ah, didn't know of that. That is... Well unfortunate, but we know youtube is pretty bad at labeling stuff. I don't usually use YouTube for cartoons, the stuff i don't have on disk gets downloaded to a disk.
You really don't know shit with a passion.
Yeah shure. Maybe just go away when you cant contribute constructively.
