children in feature films

Two films are about to be released that feature children as main characters: The remake of The Red Balloon and the Fall.

It is interesting that there are labor laws that restrict chikldren under fourteen years of age from working at blue collar jobs and yet we sit through films where the children, young children are put to work for our entertainment.

What is this all about? In both of the above films the children are not even teenagers and yet they are on the screen shot after shot, working.
Is anyone else upset about this phenomenon?
