Movies are trashy, take him to the theater.

The movies also are aimed at not boring parents to tears after watching it 327 times straight in a row. I will forgive the occasional lapse.

Took my 3 yo to see Planes today. It was his first movie. He loved it!

Just took my 3 year old to see Planes, and he enjoyed it.

I feel completely depressed about the movies they show. It's not necessary to push it with kids like that. And the rude humor "idiots" etc? I just don't want my child to see that as a norm. His friends are all pretty sweet kids, his classmates in preschool are all from loving families, and none of the kids play like that. Then, after all this careful parenting, some Disney movie that's supposed to be "wholesome" introduces it?

I don't like a lot of the TV shows for children, either (like Thomas the train) because although it's supposed to encourage nice morals, the trains are so mean and shitty to one another. Nice way to model behavior...not.

So, no PG movies for us and I haven't seen anything I'd want to take my 4 year old to since Milo and Otis.

Our son is 3 and we've decided to take him, after looking at the Common Sense Media reviews. It doesn't seem too bad (although, really, I don't see why they can't avoid the use of words like "idiot" or whatever -- Toy Story did this, too) and nothing that will scare him.

But agree - wish they'd make more G movies.

Common Sense Media has decent reviews:

Yes lots of G movies actually but wish they would make more!

Do they make G movies anymore?

Just take him to planes.

Monsters U

My 3 year old boy has never been to the movies and I think he's ready. We were planning to take him to see Planes until we found out its rated PG. So now he's excited to see a movie and I'm not aware of anything out or coming out soon that's appropriate. Any suggestions?
