I didn't say they were unable to grasp violence, I said that they were unable to grasp the reason behind it (ie. standing up for something) and therefore would likely be unable to grasp the other sensitive topics that people are bringing up from Sesame Street. Kids grasp, and usually enjoy watching, violence in movies. They don't usually grasp the deeper message being sent by having it as a part of the show. As to Hasbro putting it into the show, I don't think they need to. They teach plenty of worthwhile lessons centered around the ideal the show was built around, "Friendship".

I don't believe it promotes violence, rather they intend for it to portray standing up for yourself and your beliefs. Granted kids at the targeted age range for the show may not fully understand that, however they also are not likely to grasp the concepts you suggest Sesame Street covered, and therefore I would claim the topic is a moot point.

I am so absolutely psyched for this, the animation looks amazing and considering this will be the first FIM movie to get a cinematic release I am glad they stepped it up a notch for higher quality animating.
