As always, the animation looks great. There seems to be a strong focus on the male character. Probably to attract a male audience. I get the feeling that by creating a dashing thief, there just gonna attract more girls...

Maybe I just like "grittier" skin XD

In the original story, he was blind only temporarily. Also, it's a Disney. blinding the hero doesn't always bring out the parental approved-ness.

You haven't seen Prince of Persia yet, have you? :D Disney's been trying to change its squeaky clean image for a while now. I would think blindness would be tamer than, say, seeing Beast getting stabbed (and bleeding!) in the side, watching Ariel's tail split apart into legs (traumatizing to kids like I was), seeing the dog Chief get hit by a train... I find it interesting that Disney's traumatized us with a lot of things since forever, yet it still has the squeaky clean image. What gives?

Here's something funny though. I was bored and watched Tarzan 2 on YouTube last night. A commenter praised the movie, but then said she would never show it to her kids because of a scene where two characters call each other names. My gosh, really? The names were really tame, too. I think some parents need to take a chill pill.

Some parents are weird. Especially since kids actually love being scared and kinda enjoy being pervy (cooties and boobies are favorite words close to my house). They like the unknown. XD They can also take in a lot more then we give them credit for.

By sanitizing the media and overstimulating kids (some kids have busier schedule then I do) I find we are more and more creating dumb or unmotivated kids.

You gotta give childhood a bit of room.
