Took 2 of my 3 boys, ages 6 1/2 and 4. We don't see/go to many "scary" or sad kid movies yet, but loved Monsters Inc. and we were hoping this would be similar. At 2 different points in the movie, each of them said they wanted to "go home" b/c they were scared. I was happy to leave if they wanted, but then they decided they wanted to stay. It all ended fine and they thought the movie was "ok". Personally, I thought Bob was absolutely hilarious (I'm a huge Seth Rogen fan). Decent movie, maybe a little much if your kids aren't used to scary creatures. :)
