Going in an hour - haven't heard anyone say a single bad thing about this movie anywhere.

Took my wife and girls to see it tonight, we just got home. This is a fantastic film, IMO the best that Pixar has ever produced. It was Indiana Jones fun at times and at other times there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including this soft hearted bastard.
Everyone, see this film. Highest possible recommendation.

Didn't see it, but the S.O. took my 5-1/2 yr. old future stepson and walked out after about 45 minutes. According to her, the plot is way above a young child's comprehension level, and some of the scenes scared the Hell out of him. Apparently there were other parents who left too.

My 6.5 year-old son enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty good. I'd rate it higher than Cars, lower than Wall-E.
Only bad part about it was the grown woman behind me who said "Awww" at every cute or sentimental part and "Oh no" at every sad part. Literally every time.

It's entirely possible that my stepson-to-be is just a big pussy. I dunno.dlbpharmd wrote:I had my 7 and 4 year old daughters with me and they loved it. It's not Tom and Jerry, but they understood what was going on. There was 1 scene with a close up of a snarling dog that my 4 year old cringed at, but I can't think of anything else that frightened her.
I know it's getting great reviews.

Heh. I was severely tempted to turn around and tell her that if I want running commentary, I'd wait for the DVD, but... bunch of kids, and for once, I sat down in front of the person. Was lucky to find three seats together, since I got there at the end of the previews. Damned packed theaters.

My seven year old daughter watched the whole thing but later said it was too violent and that she didn't like the movie. She specifically mentioned someone wacking someone with a cane, and a sword fight. (I haven't seen it yet, so that's all I know.) She loves Tom and Jerry, Sponge Bob, etc., so I think this must have just been too realistic for her. She never had an issue with any other Pixar fare...

I did notice it was the first Pixar film with blood. Personally, I think we should man our kids up, put a little more violence in there; maybe Pixar should re-make Clockwork Orange for its next project...put Toy Story 3 on the backburner.
I rank it up there with Ratatouille and Toy Story 2 as my favorite Pixar flicks.

Went to see it tonight with Cailette......Wow, what a great film. Totally not for kids, but a wonderful story beautifully told.
