And hopefully it will be cut. Hopefully it's just some promotional thing. In all honesty, I did like the trailer up until that point.

That end part of the trailer makes me not want to ever see this EVER. What poor taste, and ludicrously immature.

I get it's a kid's movie... But kid's movies can (yes! they can!) survive without horribly juvenile jokes such as these.
Case in point: Ratatouillie. Even though the movie had a long scene in a sewer, there wasn't a fart or poop joke to be heard. I would hesitate to call it a "Kid's movie" but it appeals to them, and it was rated G. The dialogue I feel could go over their heads for the most part, being about Gourmet food (maybe that's why McD's skipped making it a promotional toy).

Technically, so was the entire film Firehouse Dog... Oh, wait... That's not a popular franchise from the 80s that we adults can bicker about when all the while our kids' whole comedic repertoire revolve around poop jokes.
Ah, the ultra juevenile dog film. Exactly what Dizzy did to Underdog. I hate Dog movies. Air Bud, 101 and 102 Dalmations....

Why does every single family movie have to feel like it has to borrow liberally from Home Alone or something to survive? I can't take any more raucous crap with adults running around like cartoon characters and getting hit in the crotch. look at the trailer for Daddy Day Camp. All I see is every single family movie cliche in the world compiled into 90 minutes of bleh, approved by the same parental groups that want that kind of humor taken away from tyhe cartoon characters that do it oh so much better.
