The Royal Tenenbaums
Movie • 2001 • Comedy
ReportRoyal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.

The Tenenbaum children were abandoned by their father as children, and a large part of the movie is them dealing with that when he returns to their lives.

In Wes Anderson land, Royal is a hilarious and often empathetic unlikely protagonist. In real life, his behavior would be intolerable and grandiose.

Not severely or anything but there’s some pretty bad parenting. Royal shoots at Chaz with a BB gun when he is a child, and later takes Ari and Uzi on a montage of committing petty crimes and doing dangerous things

The bird playing Mordecai was kidnapped and held for ransom. Rather than pay the kidnappers, production simply got another bird and explained his changed appearance as the result of stress.

A character says "I'm going to kill myself tomorrow" and a few moments later takes a blade out of their razor. The act isn't seen but you see blood running down their arms and them found unconscious on the floor. Their blood is seen on the characters who found them as well. Later, the freshly stitched scars are shown.

There's a kid who is going through testing via Margot's husband. There is a portion where he asks a kid to make the same shape out of blocks that he did, and the child does it wrong. There's no punishment for it. The kid shows up randomly thereafter.
