I am planning on taking my kids to see this tomorrow. They are 6.5 and 3.5 and have a very low scary threshold. Do you think it will be okay for them? This post has been edited by Kay1: 15/04/2012, 04:17 PM

I took my 4 and 5 yo to see it in 3D: was fantastic, not super scary, lots of singing etc, no boring bits, I thought it was a great kids flick!

My 2 1/2 year old loved it (as did I!). No scary bits.

Great, thanks. It will be DS2's first movie in a theatre so my mum is coming just in case he gets scared she can take him out.

I took my 4 y.o a couple of weeks ago & she loved it. No scary bits, just lots and lots of bright colours.

It's lovely and bright as PP noted. Not scary. Enjoy!

It's the Lorax, he sspeaks for the trees, the only people he could scare is Republicans.

I'm advanced but not too advanced
It is an awesome movie but if it your child's first movie I would just go to the 2D version. My DD (aged nearly 7) was a little scared of the 3D effects - though after a while loved it.

I took my 3.5 yo and 5yo. Their fear threshold is super low (they are scared of the care bears and gummy bears! ) Its also the first time they've ever seen a movie at the cinema (although they've been to drive-in before) They both LOVED it. There was one scary-ish scene early on when the Lorax leaves the city, it lasted about 2 minutes and the older one got a alittle nervous - after that it was 100% fine and they had a great time.
