Wanna watch it with my 6 and 9 year olds soon. Is it that sad?! I skipped through it and it looked nice.

I liked the movie, but my (small) kids cried a lot during and after the movie.

Its not that its sad so much as there is a lot of stress and peril and the ending isn’t really happy or sad. Its a complicated movie that falls outside the disney format of “bad thing happens, good guys badn together, day is saved and everyone is fine”.
It feels like its exploring themes of loss and moving forward. But theres some moments where I genuinely have no idea what happened.
I kinda like exposing my kids to that though. The movie didnt spoon feed you answers and encourages you to draw your own conclusions.

It’s not sad, but there’s a lot of anxiety inducing moments.

Hahaha yeah same, was not expecting it to get on top of them so easily.
I feel like young kids these days are desensitized to scary imagery (ghosts and ghouls and blood and guts) but take jeopardy or peril really hard.

First time my 3 year old saw The Lego Movie he got very upset at the part where they were falling at the end of the Wild West scene
