Last week, little Bean and I watched Cinderella... and then Cinderella II! She absolutely adored them. She's been running around singing "Cindy-relly, Cindey-relly!" ever since.
So last night, I thought I'd keep the princess thing going because, honestly, I'm almost ready to pull out my hair if I have to watch the same episodes of Sesame Street on repeat for the next month. So I put on Snow White, forgetting how absolutely terrifying it is for children. Oops! So... now she's probably scarred forever. Le sigh.
To save other children the same torment, I compiled a list of practically fool-proof, non-threatening mostly Disney movies for sensitive little ones. But, for real, it isn't really fool-proof! I remember being pretty scared of Heffalumps when I was a kid. You never know what little thing may frighten your child, but YOU know them better than anyone else. Watch the movies with them! If they get scared, start acting squeamish, or say they don't like it, you can always turn it off, skip the parts they can't handle, or even just be a source of comfort for them to turn to if needed.

Generally the 2nd and 3rd versions of a movie tend to be more gentle than the first, so don't worry if she hasn't see The Little Mermaid yet. The Little Mermaid 2 will still be very enjoyable and she can watch the original once she's a bit older and can handle the scary parts. So, go grab some popcorn and enjoy!
