Meet the Robinsons?

I have to agree, I was pleased with the lack of fart jokes and would-be hip movie quotes. (The Tom Selleck thing was kind of curious, though. That'll date quick.)

On the other hand, there were dick jokes in the trailer for the surfing penguin movie. ("Are you still polishing your trophy?" and a chicken who says "I can feel it in my nuggets." Yeesh.) I'm not a prude, but hearing a theater full of kids laugh at those quips was a little depressing. Guess I'm turning into a cranky old guy. But how low is the bar going to go? Should we just thread up Fritz the Cat for these kids and call it a day? Oh, and somebody 86 the penguin movies already! *sigh* end of pathetic rant

Just out of curiosity, since Lani missed it until I noticed it and whispered to her.

Spoiler:

To the extent it will date, I have to assume it is already there. Selleck isn't exactly an icon among our younger generations. The Frank Sinatra and the mob jokes are also pre-aged.

Spoiler: You did notice that Tom Selleck provided the voice of adult Lewis ("what's your dad look like? Um....Tom Selleck")? So it was a bit more than just a random reference.
