We had been thinking that Pixar's recent release "Up" would be a good early movie for our nearly five-year-old, Z. The PG rating, according to the Internet Movie Database, is for "some peril and action," which doesn't really faze us. But then we heard from multiple adults who had seen the movie that while they had enjoyed it, they wouldn't take their young child to it. Some even called it "kind of depressing." Fortunately for most of Disney's direct-to-DVD sequels, MPAA includes "depressing" in its rating criteria!



So, I'm asking... Have you seen "Up"? Did you, or would you take your kids to it? Why or why not?

There's a broader question here, which I'll pose soon. But first, I'm really curious to hear any parent's thoughts about this particular movie.

And incidentally, whoever the folks are at Disney who thought that disabling embedding of "official" trailers was a good idea... - Jeremiah
