But that's like the entire film.
There's one shot, in particular, where her bottom lip looks like it will hit the floor and bounce back up to slap her - Zoe was really, really worried about her being unhappy. She didn't care that there was acid-spraying aliens, only that 'the boy' looked unhappy. And people wonder why I have such a hard time reading her emotions...
I honestly don't see what's wrong with showing kids scary stuff when you can easily get hold of fairy tales that are far scarier and that have no age guidance on them at all because they are 'classics'. If it's a choice between Hans Christian Andersen or Hollywood for scary, Mr Andersen wins by a very large margin in my head *shudders*
There's one particular book - The Alley Cat's Meow, which has beautiful painted artwork - which she was a little bit scared at looking through. Yes. Anthropomorphic cats are terrifying, but aliens are fine...
