It depends on how old she is, and how the traumatic stuff is dealt with in the movie. I read the book several times, but the movie left me reeling, it was so bad…
Basically I think even children’s stories should contain adversities and how to overcome them. Even the death of a beloved.
The book I would always recommend for any children that are able to read it themselves.
After showing my niece The Labyrinth, she declared she loved it. So I was thinking of my other childhood films that were fantasy.
And I came this close to showing her this one until I remembered the horse scene.
No. I will not traumatize her like that.
But another part of me thinks the trauma of 80s children films is part of what made so many great.
Idk.
Thoughts ?
To traumatize or not to traumatize ?
The loss of Artax is gut wrenching and part of a huge tearjerker story
