It Happened Again

My kid is watching "Up".

There's a moment towards the end where, after fighting tooth and nail for, like, twenty minutes, Carl finds himself  on the floor with the bad guy holding a sword over him... and he does nothing. He sits there, waiting to die, until he is fortuitously saved by the dog accidentally turning the steering wheel.

I know it's probably not annoying to anyone else. But it's becoming annoying to me.
