Gift advice
 

So my cousin is turning two and I'm sending a gift. After spending a lot of time thinking about what to get I came to the decision that I wanted to get the movies "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" and "Nightmare before Christmas."

I'm worried that Nightmare before Christmas might be too scary and I just wanted to ask the HDC members with little uns of their own about when you started watching movies like Nightmare before Christmas with your kids.

I wouldn't even have thought of it, my friend said that Nightmare before Christmas scared her as a child sooooo thought I'd ask. I'll probably end up asking my aunt anyway because it would be sent to seattle and I don't think amazon have an exchange dealy. :D

well, my kids (9 & 3) love Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, but my three year-old is a little spooked by the Disney version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - but he loves the Tim Burton Sleepy Hollow, so go figure.

I'd say either is a safe bet. And there's nothing wrong with being scared as a child. I'm sure tat's why all of us are here at HDC today:)

Nightmare On Elm St. is a good one. :D

Nah, I have no clue. I'm not good with kids. :(

of course you wamt to take my advice with a grain of salt, as this is what I think of as children's fare.

If you wanna get 'em some Disney animation but don't wanna frighten them, I recommend "Fun and Fancy Free." Nice, fairly light, not very scary.

i think we introduced our little guy to 'nightmare' when he was pretty young .. he never had a problem with it.

he also loved monsters inc and james and the giant peach as well (if you want to stick to the Burton theme)

LOL
well we all started our love of horror movies as lil uns..n look how we all turned out...
shit..i wouldnt have a clue.. 'shrug'

Thanks for the advice, now I'm deciding between:

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Nightmare before Christmas
Monster Inc.
James and the Giant Peach
Fun and Fancy Free
Ferngully (and wow it's a lot less popular than I thought. Only 12 reviews on rottentomatoes and it got a 67% :eek: )

I want it to be that movie that he watches a billion times a day and not one of the "other" movies that just gathers dust and eventually gets sold in a garage sale. :(
