The Greatest Showman

[LuckyAmy1986]

WIBU to take my 4 and 5 year olds to this? Paddington is sold out, and the only other things on are Early Man which looks boring and Tad The Explorer which I have never heard of. I really want to see TGS but if it's not suitable for their age then I won't. (I know it's a PG) What I mean is, are the songs and dancing captivating enough to hold their attention?!

[Shednik]

Early Man is brilliant.

[LightDrizzle]

Not sure, my daughter is older but has severe SEN so she’s into Disney/Pixar type films, with musical numbers. It was about 20 minutes too long for her I think but she was very focussed until that point.

[LightDrizzle]

What might be lacking is the humour, it’s spectacular but none of the comedy that children’s films always have.

[Rewn7]

I think it would hold their interest. It’s very colourful and amazing.

[Hont1986]

I don't remember anything unsuitable in TGS, but I think kids that age would find a lot of it boring.

Early Man is by the same people who did Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run, right? I'd give that a chance.

I took my 7 year old and it's the only film she's ever wanted to see again, it's a feast for the eyes. Beautiful.

Can't imagine why it's a PG and not a U, there's nothing in it which would upset a small child.

I would worry more that they would not be interested as i'd think it too dull/grown up but my DC all adored it (albeit quite a bit older than yours).

I loved it and my ten year old adored it. It's got nothing unsuitable in it and if they love music and dancing then they'll enjoy it.
