Okay, I need your advice. I was gonna take our girls (ages 4 and almost 6) to see this, but it DOES seem pretty heavy for a kids movie. And then our family dog died unexpectedly a week ago. 😬 Do you think the sheep movie would be cathartic for them? Or just another thing that would make them sad?
hmm that is a tough one. as much as I think they would enjoy the movie generally, I also think it would make them think a lot about death and what to do with sad feelings. and I dont know if you want to go there? dealing with death is very central to the film.
This is quite helpful! Might be a game-time decision. The earliest I can take them is Memorial Day, which will be almost three weeks after they lost their dog. (Which they haven't brought up much this week.) Either way, I'm excited to watch it with them at some point. Thanks Jen!
My wife and I just went to see Fried Green Tomatoes in the theater and they had a Standie for this sheep movie. I didn't even notice what she was pointing at claiming she wanted to see it, because we were late and there were no trailers. I just said OK. I still haven't seen the trailer, but I know we're going to see it because everyone is saying how great it is.
I have the 4K of WALL-E but still haven't seen it, and Pinocchio was on my watchlist but I haven't gotten to that either. Looks like I need to fix that.
The other night I almost watched District 9 again because the first time I saw it, I somehow missed the whole apartheid aspect of it, and I know I'd get a lot more out of it now.
Night of the Living Dead is one of my favorites.
I keep hearing this phrase that I imagine applies to my own scriptwriting - "execution dependent." It seems there are a lot of "execution dependent" films out there now that audiences seem to be tiring of superhero films. I wonder if it will be as much of an epithet going forward as it seems to be now?
