Is Star Wars: The Clone Wars a children's show?

[Lucky]

If anyone ever argues SWTCW is a kiddy show, i think this video would prove them wrong. What do you think?

Wow. Lucas sure enjoys seeing people get impaled from behind.

As far as it being for kids, eh, I don't know. Kids these days are probably busy browsing 4chan while their parents are out on their "think of the children" crusades.

didn't lucas already say that all of star wars is for the kids? that was teh excuse for the shittiness of phantom, right?

I don't even think it's an issue.

OF COURSE IT'S FOR KIDS!

From here:

"The second season finale of the series was the highest rated program amongst children in all key age demographics."

Likewise, there's a kiddie-Jedi sidekick, the dialogue is juvenile, there's very little violence except against robots, and there's insultingly condescending dimestore-morals visibly preached and narrated.
Adults would need either Dramamine and Valium, or a cast-iron stomach in order to be able to tolerate it.

And consider the pilot movie, "The Clone Wars;" there's not much doubt that's for kids.

there's very little violence except against robots

Really?
You mean, like when Ventress uses the Force to bring a Clone trooper toards her and impales him on her Lightsabre?
Or when she decapitates a Clone Trooper?
Or when we see a Darth Maul wannabee crush his brother to death?

the dialogue is juvenile

You mean like "That's because I'm so in love"?
Or "I have seen a security hologram... of him... killing Younglings"?

You mean "kiddie show" like that?

The more TCW goes on, the more it looks and feels like the PT movies, the only difference beeing that we see animated deaths instead of live action, but the violence and and the dialogue are the same, as well as the "emotional depth"...
