As far as the little girl dying: that didn't really bother me. Death and dying is something that we all have to deal with at some point in life, unfortunately. It's not the first time Disney or Hollywood has broached that subject in one of their movies. Bambi, for example.
The thing that bothered me the most was that there was a scene where the kids are in the back of a pickup either going to or coming home from church. The girl is asking alot of questions. And the answers were so sappy. Kinda like 'everybody's gonna be saved in the end anyway'. That bothered me alot!!! People will go to the movies, watch something like this and figure they don't have to worry about eternity at all because after all, 'everbody's gonna be saved in the end.'
Jeanie, you should be (and I'm sure you ARE) proud of your son!!

Yes you are right we are very proud of him!
I didn't care for the generic universalism remark either, and making light of hell wasn't funny, they sure made it seem like the notion of hell was an "out dated view"
