Have a Fun Weekend.

I saw it, I loved the original in middle school. Way to intense for little ones. Mine is 4.5 and is years from being ready to see it.
It was charming for me tho!

Ha! my bestie and i used to always nap together.

We skipped on taking Luna to watch Beauty and the Beast because I think it would be wayyy to scary for her. She’s already going through the whole—I am scared of everything so I am climbing into your bed every night! We don’t want to add to that conundrum! haha! Did you end up taking the boys?

There’s nothing like accidentally taking a nap with a friend to cement the fact that you were destined to go through life together as BFFs. My dearest girlfriend and I have taken multiple naps together throughout our friendship and I imagine it’s what having a sister is like?

I have spotted scrunchies on the teenage girls I volunteer with. Also choker necklaces :(

I took my 7 year old niece to see BB and do not think it’s too scary for kids. But I am of the mind that a little scariness in movies is not a bad thing for kids.

Why do the houses on either side of the ice house not have ice on them? The trees are bare as well. Seems like someone did that to the house on purpose.

My mom never stopped wearing scrunchies, haha! Not sure I’m going to pick it up….
I can’t wait to see Beauty and the Beast, but I know I won’t be showing it to my five and three year old yet. My oldest is scared of almost every movie, which makes family movie night, her favorite new tradition, really hard!! We have an impossible time finding kids movies that are not even a tiny bit scary. The newer ones are all intense and the older ones are dark too. And we’ve made the terrible mistake several times of watching something my husband and I hadn’t seen before, with a hopeful guess that it would be ok, only to end up with frightened kids and appalled parents! Just for the record, the Postman Pat movie is SCARY!! Yikes. That was a mistake. Last night we watched the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and they absolutely loved it, though we should have covered their eyes in the tunnel scene.
Anyway, I’m just now feeling that my five year old could handle watching the animated Beauty and the Beast with me….even then I know she will be nervous, but she knows the story and I think she will love it over all. The live action would terrify her I’m sure.

Driving to the coast to take photos, it is a beautiful day today in NW England, finally some sunshine and blue skies.

Hi Joanna, I just saw beauty and the beast and I think it’s definitely for the kids. A little kid scary but I don’t think they should be too spooked.

The last time I had a nap hangout I ended up with drool all over my shoulder. It was not my own drool.

We just came back from seeing the movie tonight. My three year old son, after the wolf scene: “That was awesome!”
My seven year old daughter: “The movie is scary!” But she said she felt better after the ending.

I went to see it today with my three kiddos (7,6,4) who all scare easy, even in animated movies. There were definitely some slightly scary parts that made them jump a little but they didn’t leave thinking it was scary. It was beautiful and so so amazing so I think maybe thst over shadowed the slightly jumpy parts

I went to see you and I have a 3.5 year old not that easy to scare boy & I wouldn’t take him. Too scary for preschoolers!

I adore that eucalyptus deodorant! It works like nothing else I’ve ever tried, never leaves marks on clothes or pits, and smells lovely! My husband steals it sometimes, too. It is so worth every penny. Oh, and it lasts forever.

Took my daughter who is a week younger than Anton and she enjoyed it. The original is her favorite movie so we went after a friend gave me her opinion after seeing it. I think some of the scarier parts went over her head (based on the original movie, Gaston is her favorite character because she thinks he saves the Beast at the end!!). A few times I thought the wolf scenes were too scary, and I could hear her making noise, then realized she was quietly howling like a wolf. I think Toby could be scared by more parts because he’ll have more awareness – they added a few new scenes, all of which are scarier/sadder than the original. Since my daughter is so familiar with the original, I kept reminding her that the end was the same and everyone would be fine. That said, she was VERY scared by the Pirates of the Carribean trailer that aired before the movie. I thought we were going to have to leave before the movie even started.

I’M WEARING A SCRUNCHIE RIGHT NOW. I love it. It’s exactly like the one on that link too.

Wondering if you New Yorkers will hop on the bandwagon.

Scrunchies!? Just no. There are many things from the 90’s that just do not need to come back. As a 45 year old I have plenty of embarrassing pictures of wearing those many years ago and it was just not a good look..

I have a friend who sliced swiss miss rolls and people went crazy for it, not realizing what it was. https://www.littledebbie.com/101.33/Swiss-Rolls

Ewww, scrunchies.

I really found that the live-action B&B was creepy, not magical and sweet. A real-life talking clock, as it turns out, is pretty eerie. Same thing goes for a spiderwebby, dilapidated castle. Gaston and a mob of angry, frightened townsfolk? Super frightening! I was thinking about taking my own kids and decided against it: it’s just not a good enough movie (in my opinion, and compared to the original) to merit the ticket price! The absolute best part (and this part is completely swoon-worthy and heartbreaking and all it should be) is when the Beast watches Belle ride freely back to her father, and he sings about how she’ll never actually leave his heart– and (who knew?) he sings in this delicious, manly, rich voice that made my knees all wobbly. So … probably not a high point for your kids. Maybe Toby, he sounds like a romantic :)

I took my 9 year old daughter to see it in 3D last weekend and it was A-MaH-Zing. She wasn’t scared at all but actually wanted the Prince to turn back into the Beast at the end! My husband couldn’t join us and now wants a special date night with our daughter for a second showing. If you are concerned, then I definitely wouldn’t recommend the 3D movie for the little ones. But go and be transported. One of the best of Disney! Enjoy!

Oh man I am shocked people are saying the B &B wouldn’t be scary for Toby and Anton. There was a ~7 year old girl next to me who leapt — whimpering — into her moms arms multiple times and I kept thinking “that kid is going to have the worst nightmares.” It’s dark! And violent at times.

I saw the movie last weekend with my 8 and 10 year old nieces and we all loved it! I considered being my 4.5 year old son and I’m glad I didn’t – it’s scarier than the original (especially in a theater setting) and I think it would’ve been too much for him.
