[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think subjects of abuse and neglect are triggers for most. Likely our pasts do play a part in how we recognize and resolve abuse in our lives now. I do wish Disney had done a better job showing and handling that aspect of the movie for kids/families who are going through abusive situations/relationships because an apology and song is not the way to heal or move on.

I posted before that I thought the movie was okay but just not that well written, plot wise, because this was such a predictable and poorly executed conflict/resolution—I’m not from a dysfunctional family and have no triggers there.  I just want a better plot!  The dialogue was cute, songs were snappy, animation was phenomenal.  This needed the Pete Doctor touch on the plot, or someone like him, and then it could have been amazing.  As it is, doesn’t make my top 5 disney movies, maybe not even my top 10.  [/quote]

[b]I think if you have no triggers in this space then it is very likely you will find the movie just blah.[/b] It doesn't speak to you! And that is ok! Not every movie is for every person. [/quote]

DP. What an odd statement above in bold.

So...if one does not have any triggers like dysfunction or abuse, one will find the movie "blah"? We [i]have[/i] to have abuse/dysfunction triggers in order to find the movie something more than blah?

I don't have any abuse or dysfunction in my past yet I enjoyed the movie greatly and do not find it blah. Or will you say I'm repressing my dysfunctional past?.....Wow.[/quote]

I think you're reading a lot of negativity into my post that was not there! PP said she didn't like the plot because she's not from a dysfunctional family. I think that if you have no personal experience that allows you to have empathy for the characters, it might seem boring. Of course that isn't universal. I am glad you enjoyed it and I did not say a single thing about anyone 'repressing their dysfunctional past' hahahaha. What a weird direction to take my comment. What I said is that not every movie is for every person and I think that is true and I'm happy this WAS a movie for you![/quote]
