Arctic Tale - Rated G for Global Warming

By Rus Jeffrey

As a movie critic, I must admit I'm often surprised by some of the promotional hype surrounding various movie releases. I've wondered about the wisdom of promoting a movie such as Evan Almighty so early before it's release, as a family-friendly, fun movie. Obviously those accepting the ads knew little to nothing about the movie, except for the Hollywood hype. But, they chose to take the word of the advertiser that it would be a good movie. Reality is, Evan Almighty is a great movie, and it's nothing like its predecessor, Bruce Almighty.

Now, lets turn to Arctic Tale which is narrated by Queen Latifah.


Another movie being thrust upon audiences as a great family-friendly movie. While it does carry a G Rating, which would make one think it’s for the whole family, this movie is nothing like March of The Penguins.

After prescreening Arctic Tale I’ve been reviewing it by saying it’s “Rated G for ‘Global Warming’.” This is not a family-friendly movie. It’s really nothing more than an hour and a half of indoctrination aimed at our kids pushing the political agenda of global warming.

I know the whole issue of global warming is a hot one, but lets stop and think for a moment. As I left the theater another movie critic, a proponent of global warming, came up to me and said, “See, I told you we’d have no ice by the year 2040. That’s exactly what this movie tells us!”

(Insert assumed thought of, if it’s in a movie, it must be true.)

However, I quickly reminded the critic that when I was a kid growing up in the 1970’s, I was taught in school that an ice age was on the way and by the time we hit the 21st century, we’d have no food and be covered in ice.
