Beatrix Potter's Hidden Adult Themes

http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20160728-the-hidden-adult-themes-in-beatrix-potter

I remember finding out that The Magic Roundabout was really about dope smoking and made by dope smokers.

A lot of animated family movies seem to be made with layers that appeal to parents and go over their kids' heads.

Any favourites in that regard?

Trivially boring. Once again.

The article about Beatrix Potter is quite interesting.

That's what I mean! You found it interesting. That explains everything. 😉

So you didn't find it interesting?

Not particularly. But that's just me. Maybe there's something wrong with me. Maybe I'm stunted.

And yet you have posted three times already on this thread.

Truth be told, it's not about Beatrix Potter. It's about me arguing with you about nothing in particular. It's embarrassing! 😉

But I haven't been "arguing" with you.

I'll take your word for it. Truth be told, I should probably learn to be less argumentative.

Beatrix Potter's stories were a fixture, for decades, of a kind of children's fiction that prevailed in times gone past. The BBC article is quite interesting.

I'm sure it is. Again, truth be told, it was interesting. I like things old. Old stories. Old barns. Old school yards. Old histories. Things forgotten.

The thread was about Beatrix Potter all along. Take a look at your posts though.

A lot of "kid's" movies nowadays seem to be made with calculated layers that appeal to adults as well as their children. Any favourites in that regard?
