Helen and I share even more viewer feedback on kids’ movies, including one woman’s trauma about pink elephants, several films involving rodents, and how anime could even help children’s reading and language skills.

I’m one of those “not yet a mom” readers.
I’ve been visiting Mombian for well over a year, I first found it through afterellen.
My kids movie recommendation is Peter Pan. I like the old Disney one, and the newer Universal one, and several spin-offs like Hook. Sure there are negative themes, but I like Peter Pan myself and it works for most ages of kids, so when I am surrounded by other peoples kids that is my top pick.
Dana, I am a perpetual child by default of height as well. I am 26 years old and just under 5 feet tall.
Being frugal and qualifing for the special “kid price” go hand in hand. For example, while taking a group of kids to the zoo or to a resteraunt, I have classified myself as one of those kids.
I have a method: evaluate my total party, rank by stranger perceived age, find out the kids pricing structure, then proceed going with perceived age, not real age if money will be saved. I do this with out the kids’ knowledge, cause fibbing is wrong :)
I have often fallen behind a 12 or 15 year old in my ranking.
You know, Peter Pan was probably my favorite Disney film as a kid. Maybe it had to do with the fact that the live-action versions all had a woman playing the part of Peter (which should have clued me in about other things a lot earlier)! I always identified a lot more with Peter than with Wendy. I still like it, but wish they’d redo the whole Indian part, which now makes me cringe.
I so know what you mean. I suppose there’s no getting around paying full price for an R movie, though, hmm? (And I was carded for alcohol until well into my 30’s.)
I’m sorry that TS was freightened by a pink elephant growing up …..even her pink elephant COOKIES!!
