For the kids' first movie night, we let them choose from a few Pixar movies they'd never seen: A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., and Toy Story 2. Without hesitation, they chose A Bug's Life; unfortunately that was the only one I really hadn't seen, so I had no idea what to expect. To squeeze the whole movie in before bed time, we started it before dinner, stopped to have pizza and breadsticks (a favorite meal they plow through with relative speed), and then started it back up again.
There were a few tense moments when the grasshoppers were around, but all in all they did really well.
Sadly, the second movie night did not go so well. The kiddos chose Monsters Inc., and it proved to be too scary for Mollie. Three sleeps (two nights and a nap) past it and there have been many, many tears shed. Lesson learned ... even if you've seen the movie, you should probably screen it first before you show it to your kids.
