in NOT letting dd3 (3yrs old this week) watch Pirates of the Caribean curse of the black pearl?

[misdee]

because she is thinking i am

because she 'loves pirates' lol.

Spoilsport.

Do you think it would frighten her?

yanbu
it would go way over her head.

heh. i'm trying to remember how scary it is in parts.

dh is also saying no. she tried to get him to order 'at worlds end' as well.

she would love all the pirtae bits and all the ships, but i do not think its a good choice of film for a toddler.

My five year old DS loves pirates but I won't let him watch it. He's a sensitive soul and I know it would frighten him.

she is now distracted with her leap pad thingy.

must hide the pirate dvd's lol.

i'm trying to think of some pirate thingt she can watch and i am drawing a blank.

Peter Pan or Treasure Island ?

Peter Pan?
The first Pirates of the Carribean?

Captain Pugwash! There was a freebie in one of the Sunday papers a few weeks ago. Our neighbour gave it to us and my boys, especially DS2, are absolutely hooked.

Amazon have got a couple of Captain Pugwash DVDs or check out your local charity shop. Sometimes the feebie ones from the papers end up there. Or ask on your local Freecycle. Someone might have that one from the paper and not want it.

I bought that DVD for DS1 who is also 3.
Stupidly didn't watch it first and had to switch it off after 2 minutes because it wasn't suitable.
He wasn't impressed but soon forgot the DVD existed.
YANBU.

No I wouldn't show this to a 3 year old. It's quite disturbing in places and a very complicated plot that a three year old would find hard to follow. It's a 12 cert BTW
I remember Captain Pugwash from when I was a kid. Wasn't it banned for lewd names or something? (Seaman Staines or the like?)

Ooops the first Pirates of the Carribean is the Curse of the Black Pearl Getting my Pirates confused.

smartiejake - it's an urban myth - the cabin boy wasn't called Roger either!

Not at all. My brother was watching this at Christmas but I made him turn it off when my dd(7) came home.

Plenty of time for 12 films when she is 12.

I'm not letting my 7yo watch it either.

We haven't showed Pirates of the Carribean to DS1 4 just doesn't feel right.. he loves pirates.

She wouldn't understand it-it will still be around when she is older.

glad i am not being unreasonable.

will look out for captain pugwash stuff.

we have the disney trasure planet, maybe the space pirates will do for now lol.

at the chin.

My dd is currently nagging at me to let her watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. No way Jose.

Get Muppet Treasure Island. It is ace!
