My nearly 4 year old daughter is fairly obsessed with princess stories and her favourite is beauty and the beast. I'm thrilled that it's out again in the cinema as she has never been and it's a lovely way to introduce it to her. However, I am wondering if it would be better to go for one of the 2d showings rather than 3d. I have actually never seen a 3d film myself so not sure what it entails - but I don't want to freak her out on her first visit to the cinema. Are 3d films better for older children or do younger children love them?

thank you (oldfogey here!)

I think that unless the film was shot in 3D (which I don't think this would have been) then it's probably not worth the money - this is from a geek friend who's seen both kinds and reckons you can tell which have had 3D 'added' to them. Your daughter will love it whatever!
Tricky one. I'm not mad on 3d films but the trailer for that did look like the effects might work well. However will your daughter wear the glasses for the whole thing? Mine went to a couple of 3d films at about that age and wore the glasses for such a short time it must have been a blur... If it's her first trip to the cinema i'd probably go 2d.

thank you i am now sold on 2d!

now having a "debate" with hubby who wants to take her to a massive screen to watch it as he remembers going to the cinema for the first time and being amazed how big it was. Whereas I like those tiny little cinemas. She is more like him and very visual so I think he's probably right!

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
