It was a long movie and she got a little bored. If you take your Lo I would suggest going for an early show, we took her to a 12 show on a Saturday and lots of kids and parents were there so they didn't mind dd asking questions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110718 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:36:14 +0000 Miss Sarah 2110718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really enjoyed the movie, but it was definitely a little "slower" than the cartoon. There is no music and it definitely feels a little melancholy at points. There were plenty of kids there when we went though, and there weren't many problems with any of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110401 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:46:54 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2110401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watched it and loved it! Cate Blanchett is amazing. Lily James was perfect for the role too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110395 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:43:08 +0000 californiadreams 2110395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110385 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:32:34 +0000 rachiecakes 2110385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @mrbee: SPOILER ALERT: in this version the King also dies, so they're both without parents :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110383 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:31:38 +0000 rachiecakes 2110383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it! </p> <p>But I thought it focused a lot on the sad/sentimental side of the story and not as much light-hearted fun as the cartoon version. (Parents passing away, being alone, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110335 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:11:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2110335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I went yesterday and there were lots of little kids there. I thought it was great, but wonder if toddlers might get bored since it isn't a cartoon. I don't really know what kids like to watch though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110325 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:06:16 +0000 mrbee 2110325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Common Sense Media has a great breakdown of the issues that might pop up for kids:<br /> <a href="https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/cinderella-2015" rel="nofollow">https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/cinderella-2015</a></p> <p>My five-year-old son watched Big Hero Six the other day (recommended for 7+) and he was really shaken by the death of one of the characters... I think if I had warned him beforehand and reminded him that the story is made up, that would've helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110320 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:02:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 2110320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL saw it and I asked her if she thought it would be ok for our almost 3 year old and she said "maybe" (I think she didn't want to commit in case I took LO and she freaked out lol :silly: ) She said at the beginning the mom and dad die, which is sad and might be upsetting for littles. And of course the step-mother is evil. </p> <p>MIL's biggest concern was that live action vs. cartoon wouldn't hold LO's attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110316 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:01:42 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2110316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: good to know...I wanted to take my 6 year old niece and wanted to be sure it wasn't too scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110308 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:57:50 +0000 mediagirl 2110308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yeah a 3 year old and a 5 year old. The 3 year old was fine, 5 year old was sad over the people who died. But otherwise it was fantastic, apparently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110287 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:47:30 +0000 Mamaof2 2110287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: did she take any kids? I want to take my 4 yr old but not sure... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110283 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:46:40 +0000 mediagirl 2110283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't see it but a friend did. She said there were 3 sad parts (3 people die) but no scary parts. The PG seems to be for the deaths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-see-cinderella-this-weekend#post-2110282 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:45:52 +0000 Mamaof2 2110282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How was it??</p> <p>Did you take your kids?
