  5. Side 2 • G-rated = contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that would offend parents whose younger children view the motion picture • tightening of standards in the last two years

  6. Methodology… • Get a list • Compare it to the language used in 1st Care Bears movie and last Care Bears movie. BUT… • Lacking a list (from a reliable source) of unacceptable terms for children ages 7 and younger

  7. NEW Methodology! • Compile words from both movies in to a list • Give them to mothers of children age 7 and younger. • Compile the results

  8. Sample:

  9. Rating System • No problem: rating of 0 • Depends: rating of 1 • Not to be used: rating of 2 • Multiply rating by number of votes = points for each time word is found in script

  10. Possible Outcomes • 1st Care Bears movie has better language • Newest Care Bears movie has better language • No significant division

  11. Future Work • Include other Care Bear movies • Include other re-released children’s movies • Larger sample size • Etc.
