Warning about box trolls movie - kids with food allergies

[rex]

omg! i feel like this would be so upsetting to a kid with allergies. poor taste.

no only is it a villain who has allergies but they use it against him so he dies. and then yay the villain is dead!

Thanks for the heads up. I think my oldest would have the potential to get upset by that. Not about her own allergies, but her little sister's. She has anxieties about DD2 getting stolen or getting hurt and dying.

Thank you!!!!

This would have been a disaster for my DD.

J isn't old enough for movies yet (he would never sit still) but that's just in poor taste. To make the villian have allergies and then die from it is just wrong.

I think we will be skipping this movie with DS. He is very sensitive about his peanut allergy and often works it into his play. Chuck the truck was allergic to french fries this weekend and Peso from Octonauts carried his epi pen for him.

It was cute but

I've read a couple of bad reviews of this movie already, so I had ruled out seeing it. But death by allergies is just horrible - I can't imagine taking a kid with severe allergies to see that movie!
