We don’t have any children but when the time comes, I’ll dread having to explain the goings-on in adult-themed movies, such as The Crying Game – I’m sure you know the scene I’m referring to. If only there was a book to do it all for me. Oh wait, there is.
Josh Cooley, a story artist at Pixar Animation Studios, takes scenes from popular child-unfriendly movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Silence of the Lambs, Apocalypse Now, and The Terminator and draws them as if they were a page in a children’s book. Cooley’s Inappropriate Golden Books pays homage to the old-school Little Golden Books. Check out some of his drawings after the jump.
Cooley’s illustrations have been compiled into a book, Movies R Fun, which goes on sale at Comic-Con this year.

dig the last one “The professional”. Say, was that the first movie with the pedobear stamp of approval? ok im going to hell
There are a great many things I look at in the name of “research” – this is the reasoning I will give when the office internet filter catches my search for “salacious materials”.
The Professional wasn’t the first movie that had references to paedophilia in it. Stanley Kubrick turned Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita into a movie in 1962. Prior to that in 1931, Fritz Lang’s M featured murderer who was thought to be a paedophile.
What? I dont remember anything in “The Professional” that referred to pedobear-ism. I hope Google doesnt list this blog in pedo searches.
It’s been a while since I last saw The Professional but word is the director’s cut on DVD featured a scene where Mathilda asks Leon to, erm, de-flower her.
That little brat.
Totally. Incidentally did you know her real name is Natalie Hershlag? Also she’s due to play the love interest in Thor.
I knew she is Jewish, so that name fits. And prawny, you should know by now that I am a comic book nut-job, so yes I did know that.
