In fact, the biggest problem that we had was that Noogs was terrified by the two transformations of the Were-Rabbit. I thought we would have to take her out of the theater... However, she didn't have any nightmares, and doesn't even seem to remember that part when she talks about it. All in all, it's mostly harmless family fare: generally charming though not quite as innocent as the shorts. I'd let her watch it again, though I don't know if I'd buy it when it comes out on video. Maybe.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think a 4 1/2 year-old would definitely enjoy it. The worst part was certainly the previews -- I HATE the look of that new Pride and Prejudice, and what they've done to Curious George beggars belief.mrsdarwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446744635277205867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1129029664957806832005-10-11T07:21:00.000-04:002005-10-11T07:21:00.000-04:00So what were your thoughts on W&G being appropriat...So what were your thoughts on W&G being appropriate for preschoolers?

Better keep them away from that Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin's parents rip off their masks and reveal themselves to be slobbering aliens about to turn Calvin into stew... <BR/><BR/>We routinely have our two become four (I didn't take all that sacramental talk about marriage quite seriously enough!) in our queen bed, but it tends to be in around 5am, when the girls suddenly decide that it's time to go snuggle with Mommy and Daddy for the rest of the night. (I think the logic is that by then they've kicked off all their blankets, and joining the familial pile is a surer source of warmth for a sleepy toddler than just pulling the blanket back up.)<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, I think they're in our bed now, which leaves me to wonder why we aren't there...Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1128832596470011772005-10-09T00:36:00.000-04:002005-10-09T00:36:00.000-04:00At approximately 1:30 a.m. 2 become 5 in one queen...At approximately 1:30 a.m. 2 become 5 in one queen size bed. It's all because of Scooby Doo. Our little one's (3, 5, and 6) love Scooby Doo in the <I>daytime</I>. <BR/><BR/> I feel like such a bad mom for letting them watch it. I figured if they saw the mask being pulled off of whatever the "monster" was, they could handle it because it wasn't really a monster. <BR/><BR/>I think we opened a door that was closed to them and we introduced the idea of ghosts and monsters by allowing them to watch. I suppose kids eventually will start to have those kind of thoughts on their own; I don't know. But, I'm kicking myself for bringing it on prematurely. <BR/><BR/>I just want sleep!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
