Variants of the tale are known across Europe

Is that unreasonable?...

This his how the world is going to end. Being gay is going to become so popular because it's so glorified now that everyone will be gay and nobody will repopulate

I saw this movie last night with my daughters and this was without a doubt way overblown. He was more "french" than anything.

Oh, and the movie was very well done. Many little nuggets of good adult humor mixed in for the parents to enjoy.

Good point. What are we supposed to do? Censor France from everything in this country?

Yet another example of why the passive voice sucks balls.

How exactly 'was' 'this' overblown?

Let's not let the conversation elide the fact that this all started with the director of the movie characterizing a scene from the movie that no one else had viewed as 'exclusively gay.'

There's enough phumphering and muttering over this shit to begin with, without twisting the sequence of events.

This wasn't a case of some white trash mama in Alleybammy watching the movie in the theater and coming out and yelling into a camera that some character was too froofy and swooshy for her chillens.

Whatever the merits, this started with the director of the film announcing how awesome it was to gay up a kids movie.

Yeah....I kept waiting for this over the top shit and nothing happened. I thought the movie was a little long....but still pretty good. My kids loved it...and that's all that mattered.
