I took my LO when it came out. Wasn't a bit scary. The scary part was the trailers! LOL! She even wanted Maleficent horns at Disney World. (I got them.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1684093 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 08:42:12 +0000 theknest 1684093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talked to a few ladies I work with who've seen the movie and they thought the only real scary part was the ending. Soooo, I took him. He did so great. He started to get a little antsy towards the end of the movie so we got up and took a bathroom break - perfect timing. </p> <p>I don't know why I worry so much about stuff like this - my sister and I were watching movies like Silence of Lambs and Dirty Dancing before I was 5 (my mom doesn't recall 'letting us' watch these movies - so not sure how we got our hands on them). :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682599 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:01:24 +0000 mediagirl 1682599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! My kiddo won't sit still for 5 seconds to watch TV, we would never get through a movie. And I'm all about following the suggested ages of movie ratings and PG seems like something better suited for an 8 year old, in my opinion. </p> <p>PG Rating<br /> A PG-rated film may not be suitable for children. The MPAA says a PG-rated should be checked out by parents before allowing younger children to see the movie. There could be some profanity, some violence, or brief nudity, however there will not be any drug use in a PG film. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682521 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:21:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 1682521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A young toddler at an evening movie seems like a recipe for disaster. Not to mention that this movie looks scary--fabulous!--but scary. I would pass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682519 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:19:31 +0000 lemondrop 1682519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: my question exactly! I'm impressed, no way would my kiddo sit still long enough to make going to a movie worthwhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682513 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:17:02 +0000 MamaMoose 1682513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that they had to use Angelina Jolie's daughter in the movie because all the other kid actors were too scared of her to act with her in some of the scenes! I would pass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682505 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:13:12 +0000 wonderstruck 1682505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would't, there's some pretty dark parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682442 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:45:59 +0000 HLK208 1682442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 year-old was scared by the commercial so I wouldn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682352 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:11:40 +0000 bunnylove08 1682352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't its a PG movie I think its going to be scary for a little one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682314 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:03:43 +0000 plantains 1682314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The trailer looks scary to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682232 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:40:00 +0000 theknest 1682232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.pen - yes, he loves going to the movies - he does good (sure he's still a toddler - but good enough for me to want to take him back :wink: ). He hasn't seen anything too scary yet but he loves Monsters Inc. and Toy Story (and there are some scary parts in those). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682174 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:12:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1682174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>does your toddler sit through movies? That would be my issue! I tried watching Frozen with J but he only sits through about 20-30 minutes unless it's Curious George or Daniel Tiger :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682173 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:12:45 +0000 Raindrop 1682173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think this is kid friendly movie at all. I read the spoiler and there are some scary parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682162 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:09:09 +0000 Grace 1682162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't look like a kid's movie to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682158 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:07:14 +0000 pinkcupcake 1682158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2yo is scared of everything - horses, the trolls from Frozen... even Olaf scared her in the beginning - so I would not take her :) The trailer for Maleficent seemed kinda dark and scary, I don't know if I would risk it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682149 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:04:53 +0000 rachiecakes 1682149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Frankenweenie &amp; Nightmare Before Christmas were scarier for kids and they're not live action movies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682146 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:03:45 +0000 rachiecakes 1682146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if he'd like it but I know DS wouldn't be frightened. It's dark, there's fire/smoke, but it's really sweet. Fairies, babies, animals.<br /> There are adult undertones but small children wouldn't understand.</p> <p>I loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682136 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:01:32 +0000 theknest 1682136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamaof2; thanks - I was trying to find something like that out there. My niece (the 3 year old) LOVES "scary" movies - but she has older brothers - so I know she'll be fine, just not positive about my guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682129 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:58:36 +0000 Mamaof2 1682129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw an article about this the other day - here is an excerpt:</p> <p>There are battles and a dragon and spooky smoke and a wound or two, plus the death of a "Sleeping Beauty" stalwart. For kids who have been toddling along with G-rated movies, this would be a big step up. But if your child has seen and tolerated other PG films — and you don't mind him or her crawling into your lap when a menacing wolf appears — your average kindergartner will be fine. Older kids who are familiar with "Sleeping Beauty" will likely get a kick out of how this film twists the story they know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682118 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:56:19 +0000 Arden 1682118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The trailer was scary... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682114 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:55:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1682114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't personally seen it, but a coworker thought it should have been rated PG 13, they thought it was pretty scary for PG! so I don't know about a 2 year old? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seen-maleficent-would-you-take-a-2-year-old#post-1682107 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:54:24 +0000 theknest 1682107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and sister are going to Maleficent tonight (my sister is taking her kids 10, 6 &amp; 3) debating about going and taking my 2.5 year old. Anyone seen it? Is it scary? Not sure what to do - it's rated PG. </p>
