Fox News's Cavuto Calls 'Happy Feet' Part of Liberal Agenda

Fox News business commentator Neil Cavuto suggested Wednesday that Warner Bros.' hit movie Happy Feet was like "an animated Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary about global warming. "I half expected to see an animated version of Al Gore pop up," he said. In the lower part of the screen, the words, "Is Hollywood using kids movies to promote agenda?" were posted. Cavuto called the film "big-time objectionable" for "foisting" a political position on children. He called in Fox critic Holly McClure who agreed and took the film to task for negative portrayals of marine acquariums and water parks, saying that they were intended to make parents "feel guilty" about taking their kids to them. Meanwhile, Fox News's corporate sibling 20th Century Fox has posted a trailer for the upcoming The Simpsons Movie on YouTube, showing Homer finding himself hilariously banged about between a rock and a hard place. That animated film also reportedly has an environmental message.

I don't watch Cavuto regularly. The best FOX commentator is either O'Reilly or Hannity.

Most movies contain a message of some sort. Remember when Ferngully came out? I have no problems with movie critics saying such stuff in the context of a review, but if he dedicated a news segment to it being an "environmental" or "global warming" message then I'd have to think that it was an extremely slow news day. Usually segments that bash a movie end up only helping it at the box office.

Oh yeah! That rain forest movie. Damn I forgot about that. But...that movie was different. That movie was like overshadowed by Aladdin back in `92. Happy Feet is this HUGE film that every kid is watching.
