Seeing as these ‘kids’ movies are almost exclusively the only ones I see in the theater, I’m kind of excited about them myself. There is an impressive amount of cleverness required to write/direct/produce a movie that both kids and adults can both really enjoy.
What I don’t’ appreciate is some of the language they use. Not bad language, per say, just stuff I don’t want my kids saying. I’ve noticed that recently in kid’s books as well. I love reading Barbara Park’s Junie B. Jones series to my sons (and they eat it up), but the things that come out of that girl’s (Junie’s) mouth are a bit dicey. Just makes my job as a mom a little bit trickier. I think I’m up to the challenge…

I like the family oriented movies myself. Being that I don't have kids though, I walk in and hope I don't run into anyone I know. :)
When I went to see Madagascar, I stepped into the theater only to hear my name announced at the top of someone's lungs - from the back row. I went back there, to sit with my friend (who was there with her family) and she said "You do know this is a kid's movie, don't you."
Um, yeah I do, what's your point. ;-)
Hi Lucy,
Know that you are not alone. I owned Aladdin and Toy Story before I had any kids, and my husband likes watching teen movies.
Thanks for stopping by,
Alyssa
