so yesterday I took my little cousins, ages 5, 7, and 15 to go see The Princess and the Frog. Ugh have you heard of this thing called "Extra Butter Popcorn!?" apparently my cousin loves it, ick! I'm a nachos girl so I'm clueless on the varieties of popcorn. I had so much I wonder if that's what made me sick, couldn't sleep till about 3am. Anyways about the movie:
I have to call their mum and hope the good parts were good enough to wash out the scary parts and none of them had nightmares.
Look it was a good movie, the story line was cool, I really enjoyed it, but I was like wow Disney did this, for kids??? it was set in New Orleans, so just imagine, that's like voodoo black magic central in America. and yup they played on that, it was a lot of voodoo black magic talk, i doubt my cousins understood the pricking the prince for blood part, BUT the shadow demon thingies were definitely scary looking! & when they appeared my cousin would look to me & ask "Is this a scary movie," or if something happened he'd be like "Is that scary?" and I'd try to downplay it (sigh)
however they all enjoyed it and had fun, especially the large drinks & refillable popcorn, so...regardless of the scary parts we all LOVED the movie, there was a lot of humour in it, even for adults, so you should definitely watch it, now I have to go google the difference between slime & mucus secretions because I never got that joke :( ..... ok that didn't work, not Im gonna call an old friend who majored in bio lol because im sure its innocent unlike my perverted mind.

♠ Prince Naveen was super hot.
♠ the white southern Princess was beyond hilarious!!!! she was so funny.
♠the good voodoo lady reminded me of Sugar Momma from The Proud Family & Madea from Tyler Perry.
♠It had some stereotypes, but c'mon almost every Disney movie offends a lot of people eg Pocahontas, some people were against the frog prince & the princes skin color, ethnicity etc eg
♠I loved how it easily incorporated interracial relationships, like even friendships & race wasnt a big deal
*** My 15year cousin had no problem at all with it, I was more worried about the 5 & 7 year olds, I went kinda late around 4.50pm so the 5 year old fell asleep halfway, so I mostly watched it with the 7 year old ***












They will remeber it as a special Christmas treat.

Sometimes kids can overlook things that we as adults find scary, etc. Sometimes I'll rewatch a cartoon that I used to watch as a kid and can't believe all the 'adult' things that went right over my head at the time. Hopefully that's how things went for your cousins!
ReplyDeleteabout to watch it! :) Sounds like something id enjoy haha and yes those extra butter popcorn are insane I thought I was going to get a heart attack after having some LOL

@ Secretia i dont know about them, but I know even in 20yrs I'll be like "u know the princess & the frog?" well I took u to see it when it came out! :)
ReplyDelete@ Tights Lover you know what that is so... true. It had a lot of humour that sometimes the adults were laughing at a different thing from the kids.
@ Sush lol next time I'll try their caramel popcorn, i doubt those are refillable
@ Meya I'm sure you'll love it! and since I reviewed it saying it was spooky, u'll probably laugh that it wasnt that bad.
that's cute:) sometimes it's fun to watch children's movies!

ReplyDeleteWooo, happy I wasn't the only one who though that. I was all big eyed and freaked out when the shadow man's "friends" went hunting.
ReplyDeletecute recap. i was surprised with so much voo doo, but it's nawlins culture and with the harry potters and what not, i guess it's not much of an issue.
ReplyDeleteyou know i had to check! mama odie is jennifer lewis a.k.a will smith's aunt helen on fresh prince of bel-air and mama odie from the movie is jo marie payton.. harriette winslow from family matters... yes both have heavy, smokey voices!

ReplyDeleteWent to see it friday evening with the family which includes my 5-yr. old niece. I enjoyed the movie, BUTT; I agree, some of the action sequences did seem to be kinda heavy-handed for the little ones.
Also, being a native of NEW ORLEANS, I thought it interesting all of the VooDoo/HooDoo references. and YES; there were a LOT of stereotypes.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to U!!! Keep Blogging!!!
