Guess What We Watched?

Quynh: "R.O.U.S.s don't come in our woods.  And they won't bite my shoulder because I have pajamas on  and that won't taste good."

Tai (predictably): "My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die."

Quynh: "There are a lot of hes in this movie."  (That's her noticing and pointing out the imbalance of male and female characters.  My little feminist).

Quynh (when Columbo threatened to stop reading to Kevin Arnold and closed the book): "Will the movie keep going if they stop reading???"

This morning at breakfast Tai pretended to have 6 fingers and also explained to me that the shrieking eels grow louder when they are about to eat someone.  And when he arrived at preschool he immediately started telling everyone (in detail) about the movie.  When my kid watches something the whole school benefits (suffers?).  


So was it age-appropriate?  Quynh was a bit concerned a few times so we had to sit with her.  And we had to fast forward through the scenes involving The Machine (when we noticed Tai had buried his head between couch cushions we decided that was best).  But other than that, they both really enjoyed it and are already asking to watch it again.
