Film review
Dear all,
I would like to know the meaning of "Family fare".
Following is an excerpt of the review:
"Tim Burton takes on the producing duties in this ambitious movie described by the New York Times as a ‘feature-length animation beyond the confines of cautious family fare".
Many thanks!

In this case, it's an animated film. Whilst many animated films are called cartoons and loved by children, this one is not for children.

fare is an old-fashioned word for something to eat - winter fare is soups ans stews; summer fare is salads and ice-creams

: The line quoted appears at the end. (The review specifically mentions that the film is not suitable for young children; it's rated PG 13, not R.) http://movies.nytimes.com/2009/09/09/movies/09nine.html

In other words, breaking the barriers of the usual, cautiously childish cartoon movies produced for family viewing, but it does not say that it is not suitable.
