My new step-granddaughter Emily and I have spent a lot of time together these past few days. She likes to watch movies. From Friday to Sunday we have seen Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, The Wizard of Oz, Finding Nemo and Beauty and the Beast.
For future reference, should you decide to view these movies, here is the scare-factor analysis according to one knowledgeable seven year old.
Peter Pan: The ticking alligator is very scary.
The Little Mermaid: all clear – nothing too scary
The Wizard of Oz: Wicked witch, very scary. Flying monkeys, slightly scary. All together too much singing in general and Emily wishes they’d stop. The black and white part is no good either.
(Note: when Dorothy has visited Professor Marvel and realizes a storm is brewing, she says something like "Toto! We must get home!" Under her breath, Emily mutters very ominously "Oh, I don't think you're going home." Jeano rates this slightly scary.)
Finding Nemo – see The Little Mermaid above.
Beauty and the Beast: Wolves in the forest, very scary. Beast when he’s being mean, very scary. Patience to correct Jeano every time she pronounces it Booty and the Beast, apparently infinite.

OZ-For the record, I still think the flying monkeys are VERY scary and also creepy. On the black and white- My sister told me that they started making the movie before they invented color and then switched over to color in the middle of the movie once they invented color filming. I totally believed her.
ReplyDeleteIn case Emily is up for The Secret of NIMH from the 80's, you should know that Deven considers most of the rats Very Scary.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's pretty much all rats so, movie fun FAIL.
