We were spontaneous on Sunday after a very full day Saturday. We took the children (4 and 7 1/2) to see "Up." We'd heard wonderful things about the movie from some and cautions from others (JO).
They both were crying and hiding throughout the movie and we had to talk-them-down. In particular, the "Bambi" beginning, the mean dogs and the fire scene. These were all spaced just enough to squash the other fun parts. We liked the movie a lot. You just never know how it will go, yet they can watch an Orca go up on the beach and snatch baby seals and chalk it up to "that's just nature." They can also watch Star Wars and not be bothered. I think the difference is home vs. theater. I think we'll save the $ and rent movies again for a while. Just easier. No need to spend $60 with tickets and snacks to have them upset. That's just dumb.
