A few parts of The Lion King

The Little Mermaid is not welcomed in our house hahaha.

Little Mermaid - Ursula is scary!

He likes to tell us that things are scary, but we don't necessarily believe him. The kid watches Star Wars. But the ones he has said are scary are: big hero 6, planes fire and rescue and boxtrolls.

paige saw sleeping beauty, saw maleficent and immediately asked to turn off the movie. for whatever reason, she can watch mulan, frozen, rapunzel and pochahontas but is scared of beauty & the beast, sleeping beauty and the cat in cinderella.

My LO gets scared by things that are very loud, but in movies with scary characters or parts, she wants to see the scary part over and over and over again – like confronting her fears, until she is comfortable with it. Her favorite movie right now is The Wizard of Oz, which I thought she would find 1) boring, and then 2) terrifying (flying monkeys, anyone?!). Instead, she LOVES it.
Same with The Little Mermaid, which she also loves. She was scared of Ursula at first, but now she will yell at the TV “Ursula witch, you are not being nice! You are not being a good friend, that is not nice” when Ursula is being nasty. Lol

So, I dunno. Maybe my kid is a weirdo, but when something scares her, she wants to face it head on and watch it until she isn’t scared anymore. Which is think is probably pretty healthy, so I let her do it. So, hard to say what she really finds scary, because the fear doesn’t last.

She used to find the scene in Frozen where Marshmallow chases Olaf, Anna and Kristof down the mountain scary - - but then she begged us to replay that scene 100 times and now laughs and scolds him "oh, silly marshmallow! Marshmallows are so tasty!"

I loooooooooooove horror movies, so maybe she gets it from me. Not sure!

Umm pretty much everything! He's seen Cars and part of Madagascar--we had to turn it off because he got so upset. He still talks about the scary part in Cars (when Mater and Lightening tip over the tractors, in case you're wondering HOW it could be scary!).

Nothing yet! It's weird, because she's a very cautious and emotional person, but movies don't really scare her. She recognizes that parts are sad/scary/bad, but she isn't fearful or anything... it's almost like she understands it's part of the movie?

We haven't let DD watch any tv/movies yet, but I remember being terrified of The Wizard of Oz (flying monkeys), The Princess Bride (the pit of despair), and Labyrinth (the baby being stolen) when I was a kid. I think those are geared toward somewhat older kids though...but I was in middle school before I saw The Princess Bride again and enjoyed it, and in college before I watched Labyrinth again!

They've only watched Frozen and Cars. DD gets scared of the snow monster in Frozen and doesn't want to watch!

My kid LOVES the Lion King, and always says that Simba's daddy is hurt and can't get up. She always gets a bit jumpy when Scar first appears in the opening scenes, and calls him naughty Scar.

The funniest is that she absolutely loves Mulan, asks to watch it all the time. She's not scared of the fighting or the Huns, but is PETRIFIED of the matchmaker! She hides behind the couch and yells at me to fast forward it haha

LILO and stitch is scary. The girls also think despicable me is scary. We definitely can't watch that movie with the turtles that adventure around the world because my older kid bawls the whole time.

My daughter has been asking to watch the "two frogs movie" lately (The Princess and the Frog), but she doesn't like the Shadow Man or his song. She also doesn't like Marshmallow in Frozen. She tells me "I don't like this part", not "this is too scary".
