I've blogged about the new antiwar Smurfs clip, available here. While it struck me as powerful and effective, I don't deny that it did shock me. The Smurfs' theme song doesn't do quite as good a job of bringing me to nostalgic tears as Winnie the Pooh's theme song but it works well enough. What made me reconsider was
leex's statement that, in fact, this clip was intended for children's viewing.
pauldrye's point that this clip could terrify an audience of children takes on particular important in this context.
So, a poll.

The theme song is available here, incidentally.
