What determines a kid's movie...

Posted by mdl on March 2, 2009 at 18:29:03:

I hear what you are saying. I have a neighbour that will let her kids watch the Saw movies at ages eight and ten (I also showed her that her twelve year old was watching hardcore porn around the clock, she did not seem too concerned about that either). I do not consider any of those kids movies either, and think maybe part of it is there is a big difference between being able to sit in front of it and being able to understand and appreciate it. In the case of Coraline, I think so much is simple appreciation of something so beautiful that I think it is lost on a lot of children used to rapid action and straight ahead CGI'ed magnificence (most of which leaves me cold).

I am not sure if it will be a classic either (I do think Nightmare Before XMAS is). I do think films like this are pretty rare though, and I am very glad I went and saw it in the theater in 3d.
