	Majority of animated films shows alcohol, tobacco use, UNC-CH content study finds
		CHAPEL HILL – At least one character in more than two-thirds of animated feature films produced for children over the past 60 years in the United States used tobacco or alcohol with no indication that the practices were unhealthy, a new University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study concludes.
		While a third of recent non-animated films contained some kind of anti-tobacco statement, according to earlier studies, none of the animated films had any verbal message against alcohol or tobacco, they found.

	Depiction of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Substances in G-Rated Animated Feature Films
		Parents need to be aware that alcohol and tobacco use is common in G-rated animated films, and should consider watching these films with their children and taking advantage of opportunities to talk to their kids about potentially harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco use.
		Similarly, on average a film released in the early 1940's had 136 seconds of tobacco use while a film released in the late 1990's had approximately 21 seconds of tobacco use.

		Boston, MA--G-rated animated feature films are not as violence free as their rating suggests.
		A study of G-rated animated feature films available for rental finds that acts of violence in these movies are common, and that the amount of violence in this popular form of children's entertainment has risen dramatically over the years.
