Animator Don Bluth has bemoaned the fact that film studios are producing very little G-rated product and that some G-rated movies -- virtually all of them produced by Disney, Bluth's onetime employer -- are not really appropriate for young children. Bluth, who split from Disney to make such films as The Secret of Nimh and An American Tail as an independent and then went on to head Fox's animation division in Arizona until the studio shut it down last year, particularly criticized Disney for packing "really, really violent" scenes into such movies as The Lion King."[Disney] can get away with more violence and still get a G-rating," Bluth told today's (Friday) Christian Science Monitor. "I think if anyone else tried to do that, there might be a different yardstick."
