Hello,

 

I am compiling a list of movies that have vegetarianism in them

(such as About A Boy and My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Or supports a

vegetarian message (like Babe and Chicken Run).

 

If you know of any would you mind e-mailing them to me offlist?

 

Thank you!

To clear up any confusion about the movies...The list of movies was not

intended to be just movies that promoted vegetarianism. I was putting together a

list of movies that either had a vegetarian message (such as in Babe) or had a

vegetarian character. Many of them listed have a vegetarian character in the

movie. For example, in About A Boy the mother and the boy are both vegetarians

and it is well known throughout the movie. On Thanksgiving they have a nut

loaf. Here are some other movies that I have come up with (most that have a

vegetarian character):

 

Notting Hill, Finding Nemo, Doc Hollywood, The Contender (the lead character

is a vegetarian and someone tries to get her to eat steak), Legally Blonde,

Pulp Fiction, Sweet November, Shark Tale, Ice Age (there is a line where they

say it's hard to get fat on a vegan diet), Charlotte’s Web, American Splendor,

12 Monkey’s (promotes animal rights), Road to Wellville...

 

There is also a website I found that has some....

" Gosford Park " was recently on A & E, and the American guest -- a film

director -- is a vegetarian. Not a children's movie, by any stretch of

the imagination, but I did enjoy the line about how the staff wasn't to

make a fuss about it, because the British hostess didn't want to appear

unsophisticated.
