So few G-rated movies
Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot fewer G-rated movies these days? Look at the family movies in theaters for the holiday season -- http://fun.familyeducation.com/slideshow/movie/48962.html -- all rated PG and up.
The next G movie due in theaters is "Gnomeo and Juliet" in February. Where are all the G-rated movies?? Seems like it's because of the profits and popularity of all the 3D movies geared toward older kids.
Parents, do you bring your little kids to the movies and are you missing G-rated films? Or do you mostly just watch movies at home these days because it's gotten expensive to go to the theater?

Thank for sharing the stuff. I had read the review about movie on rotten tomatoes and seems interseting to me..
Even with just one child and a spouse, it costs around $50 for admission, popcorn, and sodas. (I'm addicted to movie theater popcorn!) I think the prices at the concession stand are a bit on the exorbitant side, but once you're at the theater, there's only one place to go for snacks! Netflix, Blockbuster, or HBO are probably infinitely more economical -- but, of course, sometimes you need the big screen experience to get the full effect of the movie. And yes, I agree that there are too few G-rated movies. "Tangled" was a good family movie and so was "How to Train Your Dragon"; but, you gotta admit... a lot of the entertainment value would be lost if you watched those movies on the small screen.
