We all enjoyed the movie. We'd been warned by friends that it was pretty dark (with voodoo and stuff). But I didn't really find it anymore dark than other Disney movies of the past. Yes, the villain was a bad voodoo guy, but the general theme remained that good conquered evil. Julianne found a couple of parts scary. But I was there to hide her eyes and assure her. (Honestly, I always found the witch queen in Snow White to be just as scary - and evil. She does ask for Snow White's heart in a box after all.) I also think that you see what you look for. And it is incredibly important for parents to experience with their kids, and talk to their kids about what they've experienced.

her first whole movie
Jules also experienced her first whole movie. We took the kids to see The Princess and the Frog during Luke's long track out. We made sure to arrive slightly after the start time, so that the previews were just about finished. She did great, she got antsy during the last 20 minutes, but made it all the way through! (and if you know us, we're a big movie family, so this was definitely an important milestone. :)
