We didn't have near as much of a problem with the actual movie than with the preview! Have you guys seen that? I think it was before Toy Story 2... it starts out with a view of a kids room centering slowly ont he closet, and goes on to say (in a dark voice)
"Every child knows that after bedtime stories, after their parents kiss them goodnight, and the light goes out, (voise gets REALLY low and sinister but loud and the light goes out) There are MONSTERS in their closets... " (At this point, in the theater, I yelled "Aw! COME ON!!!) And then it gets a little lighter, and the guys says "but what the children don't know is that it is just part of their job." Than Sully and Mike come out and it is comical after that. But h*ll, the damage has been done! My son was only 4 when we went to Toy Story 2 in theater and he was scared for DAYS! I was so mad that I called the theater and complained, but there was nothing they could do. Short of cutting the $10,000 movie reel. So there is that.

My child had NO CLUE about any of that supersticious stuff. The actual movie didn't bug him, but he saw it on video at age 6! This preview is on the video tape of Toy Story 2 as well... Just something to watch out for if you have a sensitive kid.

Love Valerie

Just have to add that this is my favoriate Disney movie of all time! I love it... I think that they should have thought of a better way to introduce the characters instead of them being scary right off the bat you know? Cyan my 17 month dd IS boo, right down to the sticky out pig tails... and she loves the movie... but I am guessing she has no clue yet as to what they mean, and she is still in our room anyway. Great movie... but for kids 4 and over I would say... and that preview would have freaked me out at 10!
