He can watch Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music just fine. But we've never made it more than a few minutes into any Disney animated film and he starts to cry and demand that we turn it off. We tried Frozen a few months ago and had to turn it off within 2 minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2266201 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 14:29:49 +0000 chopsuey 2266201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd went for the first time at 2 years 9 months. She sat through the entire movie (frozen) and had fun.<br /> We haven't gone since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2266188 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 14:17:10 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2266188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my oldest at 38 months (she went with a friend) and they both did great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2266186 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 14:14:53 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2266186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2.5 and we did a morning dollar movie the other day. He lasted exactly 40 minutes which is the same as Disney on Ice a couple of months ago (and about the same as watching movies at home). So I'll keep doing the dollar ones this summer, but he's not quite ready for the whole thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2266132 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 13:03:53 +0000 HabesBabe 2266132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping to take Char this summer (she just turned 3), but I didn't find any G-rated movies that she was into... plus, I think she's still a squirmy worm. Probably next summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2265968 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 11:13:26 +0000 californiadreams 2265968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>other than when he was a baby and i took to the mommy and baby set ups like you described, we haven't. I'm glad to hear your experience though as my LO will also be 3 in November so maybe i will consider it this Fall and see how he does. I have noticed that he has been able to watch TV at home for longer than 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2265953 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 11:06:21 +0000 Jess1483 2265953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've taken my 2.75 year-old twice and he's done great! I haven't taken him, but he went once with Daddy and once (this last weekend) with the grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2265915 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 10:34:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2265915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 4.5 I think - he saw Turbo and loved it!</p> <p>DD is 4.5 but she still hasn't gone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2265904 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 10:19:39 +0000 Freckles 2265904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: mine is too! I wonder what makes it so different from kid cartoons?</p> <p>My LO is a little over 3 and she still hasn't gone. I will probably take her when she is closer to 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2265859 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 09:38:38 +0000 lamariniere 2265859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is 4.5 and he still hasn't been. But he's pretty terrified of most animated films and hasn't seen any all the way through yet at home. It will probably still be a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-lo-start-going-to-the-movies#post-2265806 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 09:04:27 +0000 DillonLion 2265806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took LO a couple of times when she was first born because the theater had special movie times specifically for new moms. You could bring in strollers and they kept the lights up a bit so you could see/nurse/etc. </p> <p>But we hadn't taken her to a movie since that time. I took her to watch Inside Out this weekend on a whim and she did great! She'll be three in November and was very well behaved. I brought a ton of snacks and she ate all of those. We took one quick trip to the potty and had to be convinced to go back in, but she finally agreed and we finished the movie successfully. She stayed in her seat most of the time but spent a little time in my lap or sitting on the step right next to my aisle seat. </p> <p>When did your LO start watching movies in the theater? </p>
