TOOK 5 KIDS: A Few Scary Parts, 1 Sad Part, BUT A GREAT DISNEY PRINCESS FLICK!
I LOVED much of this movie, especially the theme of HARD WORK vs wishing/waitng for a Princely rescue, which has been SORELY lacking from every other Disney Princess flim to date. An especially good message for girls growing up in today's economy!
I went to this movie with 5 Princesses (all dressed the part) aged 4-8, and 3 Queen Mums as part of a Princess themed birthday party. One girl (age 4) did well for most of the film, but sought Mom's lap during a scary bit. Two (age 5) had ZERO problems with the "scary" parts, giggled & laughed at the many funny scenes, but got a lttle restless 3/4 through. One (age 8) sat quietly throughout but did seek out Mom during a sad scene. Everyone seemed to love the film at the end (Moms included)!
I highly recommend this movie for kids of ALL ages. Know your child(ren), & make your decisions based on that. Some may be fine with or without a pep talk or lap break. Others may do better waiting for the DVD (& daylight in the living room).
