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.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
