I have a 4-yr. old and we had some friends of hers over to watch it.
Later, we and their parents agreed that the director and writer (and Brad also does the voice of the Edith Head-like character!) must not have kids or know much about parenting.
He shows Bob expressing anger at his boss by slamming him, unapologetically, through a wall.
Later, his son is guilty of repeatedly "tacking" the chair of a teacher at school----and Bob gushes fatherly pride over the sneakiness Dash exhibited in doing so.
I know, I know...it's just a film, it's all done in "fun." But no one that has kids under-appreciates these anti-hero actions by a....larger than life hero.
What a shame...you could trust Disney to separate good and evil with black and white lines. Today, raising kids is hard enough without major entertainers getting into a kid's head, pre-school.
