  Thanks for posting this. We’ve been burned too with The Waterhorse and Happy Feet. It’s sad when “family films” really aren’t for families after all, and all too often we don’t realize it until it’s too late and the ridiculous amount of money we paid for tickets is already gone.

  This is great Hallee! Thanks so much. I can’t tell you how many times we have made the mistake of suggesting/accompanying the kids to the wrong movie(s). This is a great way to check in first and see how the movie REALLY plays out. I will use this as a future reference from now on. It’s duly noted how sad it really is, the amount of effort we parents have to put into everything our kids eat, watch, play, consume, observe, and absorb. It’s amazing how, really, no one else has our children’s best interests at heart. Thanks for the gentle reminder; it’s all too easy to get in a passive role.

  Thanks for sending this to me! I’ll definitely check it out before we commit our time to anymore “kids” movies.
