[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watched it with my two boys, 11 and 9. We liked it ok. They know about girls getting their periods but I think that scene sort of went over their heads. [b]I do think that parents should be aware that the movie makes that very obvious in case they haven't had that talk with their daughters. [/b]I would imagine that many parents may be forced into a conversation before they were expecting to. But maybe it's a good introduction. I just wasn't expecting that from a Disney movie and didn't feel like it was necessary to include. I think the metaphor of the red panda was probably enough to get the point across.

And yes I think the one friend is supposed to have Downs Syndrome. I thought that was pretty apparent.[/quote]

Because the mom comes in the bathroom with a box full of pads? Was there something more obvious that I missed? [b]Because I think that would float right over the heads of most younger kids, as they would be distracted by the girl having turned into a giant panda.[/b][/quote]

+1 My 6yo DD was too caught up in the girl-into-panda to focus on the menstruation stuff.

6yo and 9yo DDs liked it a lot. Fwiw, they loved Encanto, but did not like Soul.

I did not realize the one friend had Down's Syndrome. [/quote]
