@maique That opening with the shark is intense!

@maique @KimberlyHirsh Old Disney were much closer to the tone of a lot of the fables, I think. The combination of the 90's revival and Pixar has definitely changed people's expectations.

@SimonWoods @maique Yeah. I'm a Golden Age person at heart, but the best for watching with my own kid have been Sleeping Beauty and Robin Hood.

@maique I find short, cute animal documentaries are good for tinies, but you do want to check them out for peril ahead of time.

@SimonWoods @maique I read the original fable to the kids years ago. Ack! It is quite terrifying. It’s, unsurprisingly, very not the same as the Disney movie.

I’d say it’s worth a quick read.

@JMaxB @maique Interesting discussion. My wife and I don't have kids, but I remember from my own childhood that we thought "Wizard of Oz" was terrifying. But we all watched it anyway. It was like a childhood ritual. FWIW, I think it makes sense to let the kid decide. Horror is pleasurable for many people--of all ages.

I remember when I was something like 9 years old I watched the Vincent Price "The Fly." It terrified me--and I loved it! Heeeeeelllllp meeeeeee!

@maique I don't usually like horror, but I make an exception for some movies. I recently saw "Doctor Sleep" and quite enjoyed it. I didn't even find it particularly scary.

@bjhess @maique Those stories are all on my to-read list, along with other such fables.

@KimberlyHirsh @maique My wife and I watched a few seconds of the Grogu and Dust Bunnies short, and I started tearing up. I think they have several shorts that can be useful for testing the waters?
