My son's bizarre Cars phobia

Pixar's Feature Films Cars
#12

Sounds like

me at age 3. I never had patience for films. I’d either leave the room a lot or play with my toys in front of

the TV and glance at the screen occasionally.
It’s a lot to expect a kid to sit in front of a movie silently

for an hour or so. Unless it’s in a theatre. That either mesmorizes them or puts them to sleep, or if it’s a

restless little booger like my cousins they’ll scream and try to run up and down the aisles. ^^;

That,

and, as much as I love Cars … it’s not as exciting and funny and eye-catching for a young child. Doesn’t seem

the type for me to watch as a kid. Then again, I was always bouncing off the walls once someone started to sing,

and thankfully the cars do not sing. ^^

I’ll try watching it with him again in the future but not now as it just upsets him. Might

try him on Nemo again- he used to love that.

If not, luckily for me, I never get bored watching the

Incredibles…

or Pinnoccio…or Spongebob the Movie…or Thomas… :unamused:

I hope your son gets over his

little phobia. If not, then my suggestion is wait until he is a little older and much more braver.

#15

Indeed. He’s a tough little character (reminds me a bit of Dash!!) not afraid

of very much and always getting into scrapes around the house- it’s just this one thing seems to freak him

out!

#16

If not, maybe study your son a bit. Find out what is it

that he really is scared about in cars, then you can do one of two things. Skip that part, or channel his fear to

a minimun so the next time he watches it, he won’t be so afraid.

#17

That’s wierd. Try asking him why he will not watch it. Or you could save the DVD for when he’s older.

I just burst out laughing…I dunno why that seems so funny to me…the Delinquents are all glowering at me

#19

DHR: Man, that is funny. 8D :laugh: 8D :laugh: 8D The Delinquents are so awesome! At least they got names and places in the end credits! :smiley:

#20

I can’t see how anyone can fall asleep during that part, unless bass-heavy rap music puts ya to sleep… :unamused:

#21

Well, Mack fell asleep when the Delinquents came. 8D

#22

But that’s when DJ played Songbird…

#23

The music DJ played before that was awesome.

#24

Not to get too off topic but do you guys realize the person who posted this did so in February.
Not that there’s any problem with that, but it’s starnge it resurfaced.

#25

I think threads die down and resurface like this…

#26

What I meant is that she (the author) hasn’t posted since, so this post is kinda irrelevant. I’m surprised it hasn’t been archived yet. :laughing:

#27

I was in a waiting room and Cars was playing and i saw this kid he left the room when Doc came on. XD

#28

Oh boy, poor kid. Was he like afraid of him or something?

#29

I heard that most boys got tired of the romance. :laughing:

JK. Maybe he thought it was a little boring. I also heard little boys didn’t like that.

My little cousin Ian loves it. He watches it all the time, but he still can’t seem to remember who Sally is… :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi everyone! Its been AGES since I posted here, but on the subject of my thread; my boy HAS now watched Cars!!! He asked me to skip the tractor tipping/ combine harvester scene, but pretty much watched it all the way through! Soon as the film finished he was up in his room with his Cars models (after a year of nothing but Lego).

This is great news for me as I am becoming a Pixar junkie. Ratatouille is now my favourite Blu-Ray disc (you have to see Pixar on Bluray!). I have also reappraised Cars (didn’t rate it that much before) and like it a lot more now. Still not Pixar’s best, but 100% better than any animated movie by any other studio.

The other great news is we took him to the theatre (his first time ever) to see Wall-E! He loves it!!!

Almost as much as I do. :wink:
