They even had a hilarious 80s music video type segment that none of the kids understood but the adults thought it was hilarious. I didn't think the scary parts were as scary as the wolves and the giant snow monster thing; to me the content was just heavier and more grown-up like. There are still some campy parts, but the story orients on a forest that's been "frozen in time" after a conflict between Arendelle and a native tribe living in a forest nearby and ultimately Elsa and Anna's parents, their origin story and why they died. Most of it I think will go over the kids' heads, and it'll still be fun because of the familiarity but I do think this one is better for an older kid than the smaller ones. I should add, though, if your kid is attached to Olaf, be prepared for a lot of emotion toward the tail end. I think that's the part that threw my kid off the most, more so than any of the scary parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2/page/2#post-2903606 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 16:14:33 +0000 agold 2903606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: @BadgerMom: Thank you for these comments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903586 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 14:45:58 +0000 graceandjoy 2903586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: I totally failed too; I kept thinking oh the time slot is still open so we're good, but when I actually went into the showtimes, of course all the good seats are gone! So now we keep pushing back when we're gonna see it, since it's also impossible to coordinate with another family! </p> <p>@agold: I feel like some parts will just totally go over their heads anyway. My 5 year old I would say understands dying/dead but I don't even think she really knows those small scenes meant the parents died... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903583 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 14:42:33 +0000 lindseykaye 2903583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: This is funny to me only because I vividly remember watching Bambi as a small child and FREAKING OUT when the mom died. So much that my own mother had to throw the VHS in the trash in front of me. I don't think I've seen it since. </p> <p>We'll see Frozen 2 next weekend. Of course I was all on-top-of-it and planning ahead bought tickets a couple weeks ago for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But this past Saturday I got a notification on my phone that my movie will be starting in 10 minutes - Enjoy! Which means I picked the wrong date and bought tickets that we couldn't use. So now I have to buy them again and hope there are still some available for THIS Saturday. ugh /fail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903582 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 14:39:53 +0000 BadgerMom 2903582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: I actually just watched the first Frozen the night before we went because somehow I had never seen it. I would say there are the same amount of songs. I think there were actually more songs in the second one that are done with lots of visual "special features" like let it go was in the first one. I also agree with pp that the first had more scary parts. There are big ogre types in the second one but I don't think their parts are near as intense as the scary parts in the first. I think if your LO is ok with the first one they're going to be ok with this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903580 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 14:26:09 +0000 gotkimchi 2903580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: we took two 3.5yo and they didn’t mention anything about death or being scared so whatever that’s worth lol! But yah I think you’ll be good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903579 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 14:24:47 +0000 agold 2903579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: Thanks. I really love that the first frozen really downplays the death of the parents. My 3.5 year old is just starting to use the word "die". I think she picked it up from school. Ugh. Anyhow.. I'm still leaning towards taking her to see it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903573 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 13:40:25 +0000 gotkimchi 2903573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of songs. There is some sword fighting from soldiers and some talk of the parents dying. We didn’t find it scary at all. My 6yo says the first frozen is scary and didn’t say anything about the second </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903572 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 13:35:25 +0000 agold 2903572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: @gotkimchi: @BadgerMom: @Becky: @BabyBruins: Can you please tell me a little more about the movie? I really want to take my 3.5 year old. She loves the first Frozen. Can you tell me: (1) are there constant songs like the first? (2) is there much death, or talk about dying or killing? (3) are the scary parts more scary than the wolves or giant snow monster thing from the first movie? </p> <p>Thanks in advance! I really want to take my girl and have already gotten her Frozen 2 themed christmas gifts. But I will kick myself forever if its too scary and messes with her sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903550 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 12:19:23 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2903550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went this weekend with a gaggle of 6 year olds and there were a few scary parts but my extra-sensitive 6 year old was OK. It's a little more complex story-wise than the first, I thought, so I'm not sure my kid fully got the storyline, and it does feel a little more grow-up than the first so I'm not sure it's really worth the price of admission for the under 6-7 crowd unless they're huge fans of the first one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903511 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 10:26:07 +0000 Becky 2903511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I’d second this. Not even the 2.5 year old found it scary. I wouldn’t be concerned about that at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903504 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 10:06:43 +0000 MrsSRS 2903504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: to block sound </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903486 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 09:23:57 +0000 graceandjoy 2903486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: At 5 and 3 my girls can hold their attention (more or less) watching a movie at home. I feel like my 3 year old was ready sooner than my 5 year old. They've never been to the movies yet, so I have no idea how they'd do! I don't really like watching movies out, so I don't even think this will be a regular occurrence (the only other movie they'd want to see is Trolls next year).</p> <p>@MrsSRS: Just headphones to block sound? Or headphones to actually plug in somewhere? I'm totally expecting one of both of them to end up on my lap lol</p> <p>@Hypatia: I am trying to avoid IMAX/3D as their 1st movie experience; thinking it might be too much. But you never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903457 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 00:10:40 +0000 ALV91711 2903457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to see it! I asked DS1, who is 6.5, if he wanted to see it and he had no interest. After watching the first what feels like hundreds of times, this made me kind of sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903442 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 17:22:28 +0000 gotkimchi 2903442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went today with my 3 and 5yo and everyone did fine. No kids or adults found it scary (I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903435 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 14:39:09 +0000 crazydoglady 2903435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Confession: I've never seen the first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903428 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 12:34:47 +0000 Kemma 2903428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7yo is hugely sensitive to what she watches and can’t sit through the original Frozen without freaking out so I’m not sure it would be worth taking her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903419 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 09:29:48 +0000 BadgerMom 2903419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: My mom and I took my 5 year old yesterday. We went to the 2d movie because I’m usually not a huge fan of 3D and DS doesn’t like to wear the glasses, BUT you could totally tell they designed parts of the movie for the 3D experience. It’s a visually beautiful movie and I think the 3D would have added some really cool elements. My mom and I both commented that we’d go see it again in IMAX 3D if we get the chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903417 Sun, 24 Nov 2019 08:52:39 +0000 Hypatia 2903417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any thoughts about bringing a six year old to see it in 3D? I don’t really care about the 3D aspect, but this will be her first movie in a theater, so I thought it might add to the experience. She’s good about being able to keep sunglasses on. Worth it or skip it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903369 Sat, 23 Nov 2019 00:20:32 +0000 DesertDreams88 2903369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son and I have been going to movies once every 2-3 months since he was 2.5.... 🤷‍♀️ we both love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903368 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 23:17:01 +0000 MrsSRS 2903368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bring some headphones!

We got thru 35 mins of the Incredibles the other night! I've never seen Frozen. When do kids start watching movies?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903349 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 19:02:49 +0000 SweetCaroline 2903349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD can't make it through Frozen I at home and she fell asleep during Toy Story 4 in the theatre... We will wait until it comes out on DVD. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903347 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:47:44 +0000 PurplePeony 2903347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m planning to take DD on her 6th birthday next week. She’s been asking since she saw the teaser in May/June if the movie is out yet so she’s more than ready to go. She used to get really freaked out by “scary” parts of movies but now seems to be fine... I thought for sure Te Ka in Moana would be too much for her but it didn’t bother her at all. But Toy Story 4 was her first movie in a theater this past summer because I was never confident she’d make it all the way through until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903345 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:31:09 +0000 Becky 2903345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’re seeing it tomorrow! We’re going with a group: 2 are 2.5, DD2 is 3.5, another is 4 and DD1 is 6. My girls like “scary” movies. They’ve watched Aquaman 4 times this week (morning sickness has resulted in too much screen time), and are really into real superhero movies. They were so pumped when they saw previews and it looked spooky—it was the first thing they commented on!</p> <p>That being said I know one of the 2.5 year olds won’t be able to handle it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903335 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:35:49 +0000 bhbee 2903335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: I’ve seen Sing approx. 480 times :wink:</p> <p>Oh another safe one here if you want a holiday movie is the Prep and Landing shorts (each is probably 25 min) - they are well done so I don’t mind them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903333 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:32:29 +0000 graceandjoy 2903333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Oh yes Trolls is our other safe movie. Thanks for suggesting Peanuts! But it's just SO hard in general to get her to watch something new! I am SO tired of watching the SAME movies over and over and over.......... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903332 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:31:24 +0000 graceandjoy 2903332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBruins: Oo thank you for the review! Def a good PSA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seenare-you-going-to-see-frozen-2#post-2903331 Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:30:28 +0000 bhbee 2903331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: you just described my oldest with Moana and sing! Peanuts (newer one) is also on the safe list :happy: </p> <p>She was terrified the first time she saw Frozen at 2 but has seen it since. I’m going to wait it out on the sequel. My middle is also scared of a lot of things - we saw Trolls at the summer $1 movie and he was so upset by it! And now we have a one year old so we’re never doing anything fun again :silly: </p>
