Wow Eliza, we couldn't be more different! Lol (not that that's a bad thing!) I love the "guy" movies. I was more excited to take my son to ironman/Spider-Man/ whatever man than my hubby was! I love super hero movies. Even if I'm not into it, if my kid is, I'll take him. Like I totally don't want to see this upcoming
Lego man movie but he's so excited... lol... Oh well, legoman movie here we come! To each his own; but to me it was spectacular. I'm not alone in thinking that either. Not one of my friends who have seen it or their kids, both boys and girls, have said it wasn't a good movie at the very least. Honestly I hadn't heard of anyone not liking it until I came here on the "fan boards" lol!!! I didn't think it was uber girly, neither did my 7yo son. Whatever. You didn't like it, neither did supernova and his nephew. Your opinion, my opinion, it is just that- an opinion. Re: my advice to Young about going to the movies with his daughter... I said go to make memories no matter what the film. Disney or not, your kid will remember "daddy daughter day". My memory just happened to be going to see Little Mermaid w my dad. It had very little to do w the fact that it was Disney. I believe it's the only time he ever took me to the movies just me and him. But it meant a lot to me that he took the time to see a movie he didn't want to see- which he ended up actually liking. That's all I meant. I didn't mean it would scar his daughter if he didn't take her, just that it would make a lasting impression if he did. Again, just my two cents.
LOL It's all good Sphinx.
I was probably pulling your leg a bit. Here on the Dis I see an interesting Phenomenon that does not occur any where else. You are not the first one.
It seems that if some one does not agree with a "disney related" topic, there is a 1000% guarantee that some one will pull out what I call the "memory" card. Some how or some way, the inference will be made that if parents don't do this "disney related" thing, their children will suffer from a lack of memories. LOL. it makes me laugh and I can bet the farm on it. You are definitely not the first or only person that does this.
The reality is, there is a whole boat load of "variables" that give kids great memories of their childhood. one no more important than the other, as a rule I don't go to the movies with my sons because they are the quintessential testosterone infused boys. They've loved action movies even from day 1 and generally want to see some thing blow up and a chase scene. but I am the baseball fanatic. My dh loathes, despises and hates baseball, thinks it's boring as all get out, so every Christmas in my sons stockings they get a 20 game pack to the Philadelphia Phillies, they know it's going to be them and me.
.Now I do keep in mind where I'm posting. This is a Disney oriented site, I really don't expect a lot of objectivity. I'd be surprised if some one did have some thing bad to say about the mouse and his empire. like I said I just find it really funny that if you do, some how you will be advised about not making "memories" with your kid.
It happens on almost every forumn on the dis
Must stay onsite to create "memories"
Must do a character meal to create "memories"
Must eat on site in order to have "memories"
LOL and my personal favorite, because I think Cinderellas royal table is a collosal ripe off (really 55 bucks a head for the pleasure of getting mediocre food and seeing Cinderalla?), I have been told I am depriving myself the experience of seeing them light up at the sight of ole Cindy, thus not making memories.
I thought I did say it was an ok movie, I did love the animation. I still think the music was very very weak, lousy actually but totally glad you like it. While my young nephews like Olaf, thought he was cute, he cannot compare to anticipation of a fire breathing dragon and some axe wielding dwarves, which will do just as well
