I want to take my daughter to her first theatrical movie (we're planning on seeing Wall-E). She is 2 years and 9 months old but is fairly movie savvy already thanks to Daddy's dedicated home theater. She can sit still for a long time and doesn't talk through the movie, which is more than most kids (or adults) can say.
However, I have a few misgivings...will the movie (particularly the previews) be too loud? At home I can control the volume but I'll be at the mercy of the theater's volume. Is hearing damage something to worry about? Would it be overprotective to bring along earplugs?
Also, does anyone know if Wall-E is going to be rated G? If not, without major spoilers, is there anything that might scare her? She handled the wildebeest stampede scene in "The Lion King" without being scared, but she made me stop "The Dark Crystal" because the Skeksis got too scary for her.
