![]() lots of live action movies with big adult stars and themes and adult content but that were also marketed as family-friendly/kid films. just A Time.īy the time TLK came out, yeah, we were all like ALL HAIL DISNEY, but prior to that it was a strange mix of Don Bluth animations and things like Kindergarten Cop, Three Men and a Little Lady, Batman, Parenthood, Mermaids, Problem Child, Look Who's Talking, etc. It was the pre-franchise dominance/mega Blockbuster era but also the beginning new era of the Hollywood star (ie: Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks). The movie market was WEIRD right at the turn of the 90s, generally, in part due to lots of studio shakeups and the transition from 80s tastes/stars to 90s tastes/stars. I was a kid during this exact era and obviously went bonkers for TLM, but remember distinctly also watching Kindergarten Cop as a kid. We didn't know yet what was to come w/ BATB, TLK, etc. I presume they mean that at the time this film was greenlit and even when it was released, Disney was coming off a ROUGH decade and TLM had just hit. I had to cover her eyes and ears over some parts and so I was left with the question, who is this movie for? I was also surprised by how much I still enjoyed it. The title sequence is done in crayon for gods sake! But people get shot on camera! ![]() The beginning and end of the movie are basically full on bloody action movies with drugs, shooting, swearing, sex and people dying next to urinals but the middle is this soft, approachable gooey kid-friendly story. Holy crap it's so much more violent than I remember! Well, parts of it are. So we watched it last night and it was the first time I'd seen it in about 20 years. Now that I'm a father I saw it on Prime and was so excited to share this light hearted tale of hard-line macho cop turned kindergarten teacher with my kid. I remember watching Kindergarten Cop when I was young and really enjoying it.
