No, that would be a few key scenes in the PG-rated film in which a dog’s testicles are manhandled during an inspection by dog show judges. Children’s movies must be held to a higher standard, and must teach children bodily autonomy, the ability to say ‘no’ and safety, not confusing messages endorsing unwanted genital touching.”In response to the outcry, Global Road Entertainment will be removing the scene and another one. In a statement, the studio said, “Responding to concerns raised by moviegoers and some specific organizations, Global Road Entertainment has decided to remove two scenes from the film Show Dogs that some have deemed not appropriate for children. The company takes these matters very seriously and remains committed to providing quality entertainment for the intended audiences based on the film’s rating. We apologize to anybody who feels the original version of Show Dogs sent an inappropriate message.”The re-edited film will be in theatres by this weekend.
