This is a great movie, 21 October 2008
Author: Lakie99 from Netherlands

This movie is great for little children. Do you really think that children will turn in to Geert Wilders because of a movie about a flying elevator?:S If you start stuffing your child's head with illusions and stupidities that "The US is bad and the western way of life is not good", they will turn into ignorant and shallow racists themselves. This movie is made to entertain children and at that it does a good job, this movie is not about political statements. Racists (which Geert Wilders is not, he is a realist) are crafted by their parent who stuff their heads with all kinds of delusional ideas and therefor don't let the child develop it's own perspective on the world. Parent who don't let their children think for themselves create people who can't think. I ask you on behalf of your child, stop messing with his mind. thanks!!
