Ghostbusters was not a kid's film!!!!!   Kids enjoyed it so merchandising was offered for kids to ask their parents to buy them.  It was not marketed as a kids film.  Ghostbusters toys were not distributed to kids during Christmas 1984 or even Christmas 1985 for that matter.  The cartoon was developed after kids saw the film and enjoyed it immensely.  

Smoking was not a big taboo in society back then (although it was beginning to become one at roughly this time).

Also, since when is seduction considered sexist?  There was no neck nibbling as described in the article.  

The only thing that can be said against the film is the sfx were not the sfx to end all sfx nor can anyone say with certainty that everybody that watches the film will like it.  Some material may be unsuitable for young viewers.  Parental guidance suggested.
