Glad I saw this, I was going to take my son to see it. Knowing how sensitive he is, I will have to rethink. Thank you for posting this!

At least with "Bridge to Terabithia" I knew it wasn't a fully happy ending because I had already read the book.
Thanks for the heads up. I don't think I'll take my older son to see this now.

I kinda figured it'd have an ending like that. Since he seems to be a plant, I kinda guessed that he was an Annual variety of plant and not a Perennial.
They missed out an a major tie-in for Cabbage Patch kids with this movie too.

My son cried at the end of Dragonheart because Draco had to die....but he was 6...this is a little much!

Why would you film that? I find it disgusting they're exploiting their children's sorrow. So what if it's "Just a movie"? It's not funny to do this. Nor will it be funny for them to see this years later. Especially since they'll likely be bullied in school for years over this video.
Why don't parents ever stop and think about these things?!
Posted by: Jami | Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 04:39 PM
Yup, my mother would have filmed that. And she would have shown it at every single Christmas so that everyone in the family could have a good laugh. Just part of growing up right there. If your parents aren't embarrassing you, they aren't doing their job right. :)
Assuming, of course, that this video isn't staged. I'm 50/50 on that. Other people seem to be rather convinced it is though.

Heh, I like Terry's responce...
But wow, these kids....really? I hate to see what reality does to them if they fall apart this easily over a movie.

@Spritzy you sure it wouldn't be Garbage Pail Kids? I always liked them better.
@Jami Wow oversensitive much? Trust me I spent roughly three years getting beeten black and blue and mercilessly harassed as a child. Heck I even got trapped for an hour in a construction dumpster by the neighborhood bullies, at the age of 6 or 7. I turned out find and have no depression or PTSD. Those kids will get over it and be better for it.
@Terry Everton so not fair I can't drink anymore, and now I really want a beer. Stupid high blood pressure.

Those kids need to toughen up, man.
And those parents need to put away the camcorder/iPhone/whatever and explain to the kids that it's just a movie. It's okay to be sad, but throwing a full-on TANTRUM is freakin' ridiculous.
Posted by: WMDKitty | Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 09:58 AM
@Terry... I read that as the "cold hard penis of reality". It fits either way, I suppose.

Yeah, seeing people die in movies is not going to harm any of your children. It will alert them to the existence of death.
Being sad is not "harm" done to kids.
Back a few years ago, there was a little movie called "My Girl." Remember? Little "Kevin" died from the beestings? And a kid got sad. And his mother, a lawyer, sued the movie studio for "harming" her widdle kid. It's called drama and conflict. Stories have conflict. If you want nothing but positive, positive, positive, I'm sure your kid can watch The Happy Little Elves, and keep watching it into adulthood. You younguns seemed to have latched on to a horror of my own childhood, "My Little Pony." Jump on that bizarre bandwagon and watch that. Leave "Taxidriver" and "Goodfellas" to the rest of us.

"What happened to Luca Brasi?"
"HE HADDA GO SLEEP WITH THE FISHES! WAAAAH!"
"What about Pauli?"
"H--HE WAS A---A RAT FINK AND HE HADDA GET WHACKED! WAAAAH!"

I just wanna Meme "Disney Y U NO LUV kids anymore?"
Well at least I know not to take my son to see it now, I kill at least two fish and half a dozen houseplants a year. Don't think I could take my crotch-fruit bawling over a dead ficus, at least not without laughing.

@KattyBitch: Oh, horrors! A sad story made them cry! Heaven forbid they experience real emotion from a story! (End sarcasm). In all seriousness, any story that inspires a person to feel is a success. And the fact is that tears and crying are a way of relieving stress. It is a much healthier, happier person who can release clogged emotions when they need to. For some people, the best way to do this is with a sad story or song.
Also, when I was six years old, I remember bawling my eyes out at the ending of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Probably for the same reason these kinds found Timothy Green so sad: the idea of children being separated from parents is scary and sad at that age. I remember my mother cuddling me, and recalling how shortly after I was born, she read a newspaper story about a baby going missing from the hospital and how she cried reading that. In retrospect, it's a pleasant memory.
