Up warning - scary dogs!

(20 Posts)
Just thought I'd warn anyone thinking of taking their kids to see Up that there is a scary group of dogs which are the 'baddies' in it.

I took my 6 and 3 yr old today - choosing a U film and not knowing about the dogs - and my poor 3yr old was pretty scared during bits of it.

On the Up side (no pun intended), it was quite a nice film and great not to have to watch disney schmaltz.

What children find scary can be so unpredictable though.

DS (4.9) loved UP, but a few months ago I had to leave Ice Age 3 with him screaming & shaking in terror at the scene where the dinosaur is chasing the main characters. He was completely fine until he just started screaming.

I also had to leave Madagascar 2 when he had a similar reaction in a scene where the main character fights a bigger lion.

Hey, I know a joke! A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, "I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead." Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.

Sorry! - just thought other people might like to know in advance. After all information is power...
lovely film and I cried too blush smile
true, and dumbo <<sob>>
I took my nearly 4 year old to see this, and it never ever crossed my mind to think that the dogs may be frightening, they were funny!

She thought the digs where great.

Film is wonderful and I also sobbed.

< thinking some people are wayyyyyyyy to sensitive about this sort of stuff>

Its a Disney film people!! surely Bambi and the such like where more traumatic than some barking dogs hmm

Didn't find the dogs scary but I sobbed and sobbed. It's one of the best films I have ever seen but it did make me cry....

I don't even LIKE squirrels....
