Life of pi for a seven Yr old?

[Madeyemoodysmum]

Sorry to post here. Tried movies but not many responses. I would love to see this film. Should I take my seven Yr dd or go with a friend. Dh not interested

Dd is pretty used to cinema and has seen a couple of 12 films (mainly Harry potter) I have vetted first. Life of pi is rated pg but I'm worried it will be to mature for her?

Anyone been with a younger child? Thanks.

Depends on how much you want her to enjoy it.

There were a couple of kids in the cinema when we went and they were clearly bored. DS is 11 and seemed to enjoy it though.

It's really not a kids film at all, in spite of the rating.

I'd go with a friend if you have the option. And it is a brilliant film.

are they showing it in 3.14 D ?

the book is adult totally. Would go completely over the head of a 7 yo. No idea about the film though

My 6, nearly 7 yr old went yesterday. He enjoyed it I think , thought it was more visually interesting for that age group, slightly scary.

DH took him, he thinks it went straight over his head and was too slow going for him. Wish I had gone, thought it looked good! x

There was a child behind us in the cinema of about that age, very upset. The parents die in it. The child behind us was really worried but the parents didn't explain or take her out.

We loved it though.

I took my five year old and 10 year old. I didn't quite realise how adult it was in terms of theme . My daughter was terrified of everything at Disney World but she didn't mind it at all. Said the 3d glasses gave her a headache.

It's very pretty as a redeeming feature, but the overarching theme about truth, religion, God and so on is going to sail over the kiddies heads.

We wanted to see the Hobbit really, but we knew that would terrify the five year old.

The parents don't die explicitly, it's more of a Titanic-style 'everyone drowns; kinda-thing.

Old peculiar,

just to echo other posters...its fairly grown up. nothing unsuitable as such for kids, just slow. beautiful photography, a few jumpy moments, and a lot of listening to do.

I loved it, but my kids would have been bored stiff I think.
