Toy Story 3

[????]

Well. Anyone been yet? Grown men crying I've heard...might wait until it's on DVD.

[citizenED]

Not yet been but might be one for later in the summer - little ones have one large Buzz and a little Woody.

Went with our 5-yr-old - all loved it, but all cried lots (including grown men). Brilliant film...

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.

Difficult - we took our daughter to the cinema first when she was 3 and a half - Toy Story 3 isn't that long, and I guess if you go prepared to leave if they hate it then worth a try? I don't think it's too scary - lots of things that we perceive as scary go straight over their heads!

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.....

Our 3yr old has been known to sleep through movies and concerts so might be a good idea to time it when your little one has had his/her nap.

I'm more worried about me, I even filled up a bit at the end of MonstersInc on DVD.

[BeccaL]

In that case ???? you'll be in floods, but in a good way!

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.

[BeccaL]

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!

I so want to see this movie. Loved the first two. Is it compulsory to take a kid? Can anyone lend me one as I don't want to look out of place. Thanks.

[Princess]

I can't wait to see it and the good news is for those of us with under ones it's on this Friday at the Ritzy!

[nylonmeals]

[ratty]

Going tonight. In about half an hour in fact. Not taking child. He is going to bed!

[ratty]

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..........

Did you cry?

[ratty]

Ahhhhh right. Sorry, long day yesterday. Nah. There are a couple of sad bits but nothing tear worthy.

[esme]

my friend saw it today at the big scream (showing for mums n babes at brixton ritzy on friday mornings) and she thought it was ace :)

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.

Neighbour over the road says it was fab - she cried buckets - but her 10yr old daughter said there were some really quite scary bits in it. Might be worth bearing that in mind if you're considering taking your 6 year old James?
