hi just wondering at what age you all start taking your little ones to the cinema? my daughter is 2.5 and I wasnt going to take her until she was about 3 or older but with such a good film out im tempted to take her but maybe she is still too young? She will sit all the way through movies at home but not sure if on a big screen she will find it all too much.

ludoscotts, have been having the same dilemma wrt my 3yo... he loves Toy Story but am concerned that he won't be able to sit through a whole film. Also my mum (who hasn't seen it) rang me yesterday specifically to warn me against taking him to see it because it's 'too scary' and 'too emotional'). So now if I take him and he freaks out it's all my own fault.. damnation.

I took my little man for the first time just before his 3rd birthday and he was fine... a bit in awe of the huge tv and sat on my knee the entire film holding my hands and putting it over his face if a little scared but generally got on well (it was the princess and the frog).... took him again at 3 yrs 3 months to see Shrek (he loves the other films) and this time he sat in a chair and seemed to love it although it is a little difficult to keep the running commentary from him at an acceptable volume... we are goin to to and see TOy Story this weekend or next as he keeps asking when he can go to the cinema again and he LOVES Toy Story.....

I first took my daughter to a cinema when she was 2.5. Croydon Vue does kids am on Saturday mornings and the films are usually short, and there are lots of kids. Its also very cheap so can leave when she gets tired without feeling too terrible. My daughter shocked me as she was alert for the whole hour and narrated the story after. Thinking about taking her to Toy Story as she loves it, but wondering if the 3D version would be too much for her.

reneet - the 3D isn't that dramatic and I wouldn't think too scary, though getting her to wear the glasses might be more of a challenge - when our daughter watched Up in 3D last year she wouldn't wear them so the whole thing must have been a bit of a blur to her! She managed them for Toy Story 3 though (now aged 5) Enjoy!

Please feel free to borrow one of mine anytime. I have two you can choose from, one of each flavour. Though neither of them really knows how to behave..........

Hi ludoscotts,

I can't wait to take my son to see this when they return from a week with grandma.

I hadn't realised before that U graded cinema films is for kids 4 and over. As no film is ever graded lower than a U the censorship board must think all cinema films should be seen by people older than 4. My 6 year old daughter finds all films at cinemas overwhelm her so perhaps censorship people have some research or something to back up the 4 year old.


Regards james.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
