My five and a half year old son and I are huge Brad Bird fans. We love The Iron Giant and The Incredibles.
We were both really looking forward to Ratatouille, too. Unfortunately it was a bit loud and kinetic for him. When Ego came in and threatened Linguini, that was the last straw - my son got scared, and asked to leave. So I took him out, and we missed the last half hour of the movie.
Oh well. Guess I'll have to wait until it comes out on DVD. Somehow movies seem less scary on a TV screen.
I do wish that some enterprising theater in our area would start showing old classics at a reasonable volume - say, The Iron Giant, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Yellow Submarine, perhaps The Sound of Music...
