As a parent I'd be not happy!  Not funny dealing with nightmares or triggering some underlying anxiety issues etc.  Who's helping me calm my little boy at 2am in the morning??  Sure all funny if we were talking older kids but 4 year olds?  Not funny.

I don't like taking my kids to the movies anymore anyway.  The seats are filthy, the price is over-the-top and, usually, the movie is usually pretty lame really and not worth going to see on a big screen.

Yeah kids like horror and gross stuff but can't it wait till ,say, 9 or 10?  The little ones brains have enough to deal with.

This installment of Madagascar is an improvement to the original, according to critics.

I couldn't even watch more then half of the first one, but I'm picky about my children's movies... me... a grown woman... ._.

My daughter would have laughed at it all,  like she did with  the first 2 Paranormal movies...  She would feel a bit annoyed though that they didn't show Madagascar 3 ...

If they have older siblings and cousins they will already more than likely have been bound & gagged and locked in a closet, beaten senseless out of sight of parents, threatened with death by strangulation and shown internet material that would make a trooper blush.

The children must have gotten a big surprise.

When did Madagascar get so macabre?

I wonder if the people expecting to watch Paranormal Activity were shown Madagascar?

I think I have ruined horror movies for Becky..  She has watched the making of a few of them, she see's it is all fake and pretend... She doesn't believe in ghosts... After she has seen a few old ones, she seems a bit bored by them ..We watch old horrors that don't have gore in them, they are the best... even though Becky would still say  FAKE,  she likes to watch for the sake of entertainment...  She has no fear, because she is convinced all is fake...

By being over-sanitised and over-protective of children, that you would not allow them even a glimpse of any form of horror, you are raising these children to be mentally weak when they grow up, and they will find themselves living under a illusion of safety, unable to cope with any real horror or trauma they might face in the future.

When my daughter was 5 she came back from her dads wanting to sleep with me and having nightmares...shefinally told me that they had watched Underworld and was terrified that a vampire was going to come after her...we watched the movie together.  I told her scientifically how things were impossible, then we watched the making of it.  Boy, was I pissed at her father.

It`s a good job they didn`t show a kids computer game by mistake .

This cracks me up, but only because it didn't happen to me. Yeah sure my kids would have gotten over it, but if I would have had to sit through any portion of the crap that is the Paranormal Activity franchise, I would have been mad as heck!
