    Duuuude, you're an adult!!! Those of us that have kids, learn to "like" kid's movies, for the kids. We enjoy it for and with the kids. We don't go out and watch kid's movies all by ourselves. We are parents. We do family stuff. And on our own time, we do adult stuff.

    Yay for you that you get to do things that you enjoy in your free time! I'm pretty sure everyone else is allowed to do the same.

    Well, actually I must admit to watching a couple of kids movies by myself ,as an adult.

    Haven't gone as far as to go to cinema to do so but have watched DVD's at home of a few. Toy Story was my favourite.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just mean that, for me, I sometimes "like" movies because my kids have fun with them. I look for movies that I think they will like, and then enjoy that they liked it. But, I never would have watched it otherwise. I have become very accustomed to this over the past decade, and it shifts as they grow.

    You have the right to like what you want. I found the Lego movie pretty funny, but I don't require a lot from movies to enjoy them.

    I was bored to death until Batman showed up. He saved the movie for for me but overall it was still pretty meh.

    well, and when it was over. I really liked when it was over.

    I'm assuming you guys have kids, I mean, why else would you watch a kids movie?

    I don't care how good people say it is, or how many awards it won; I don't have kids = I don't watch kids movies.

    Because being a kid at heart is never something to be ashamed of. Husband and I watch kids movies quite regularly because we enjoy them just as much as we enjoy actions, adventure, comedy, drama, etc. Not watching them doesn't make you any better than someone who does, or vice versa.

    I loved the Lego movie for the most part, but really disliked the people being brought into it as well.

    If you want to see some SERIOUS hate getting thrown about, I should start a thread on how the Lord of the RIngs books were boring as crap, and the movies much better. And I think deep down everyone agrees with me, but people don't want to come across as uncultured swine, so they don't admit it.

    O:)

    I disliked both Frozen and The Lego Movie. Not everything is Awesome. As for kid's movies...we have a 1 screen theater and you watch what they play because they have popcorn. :)

    I didn't like Frozen or the Lego Movie for different reasons, but I found both rather boring.

    I still don't get why Frozen was such a hit and that *song* went *viral*. I watched it with my bestie, and I was falling aslepe through it. It seems as if it's the same formulaic Disney "magic".

    ...but to those of you who liked it....more power to ya. I guess that's not my *thing*...I'd rather re-watch Constantine for the one ga-gilionth time.

    The obsession over "Let It Go" was annoying enough to decide against even watching it at all.

    I loved Frozen. Hubby hated it. Lego movie was just okay to me. Hubby fell asleep. Kids loved both of them! LOL!

    We took the kids to see it in the theatre and I enjoyed it. I didn't think much of the real people at the end either...but I enjoyed the rest of it. I loved the song, Everything Is Awesome. Woohoo!! Until I looked it up on YouTube. I didn't care for the full version. But I think you're allowed to not like it. :smile:

    My kids and I both liked Maleficent, though.

    Glad to know. Still debating on whether or not to take the kiddos. How scary is it? I love AJ! She's perfect for this role!

    That was the absolute stupidest movie I have seen in a while. I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

    The lego movie was ok enough until Will Ferrell showed and then the movie was over for me. I really thought I was the only one in the world who can't stand him. I have never seen Frozen and like someone else said, I dont' really want to watch because too much hype.

    I really like Meet the Robinsons and I like the song "little wonders" from the movie. Pre-kids, DH and I saw it in theaters....twice.

    I have not seen The Lego Movie. Nor have I seen Frozen. And I love kid's movies.

    I'll just be over here, under my rock.

    I didn't like frozen much either. I loved the little snowman and the reindeer. I loved the focus on the sisters and the sister being the hero. :)

    I like Muppet Movie, especially the last one, Muppets Most Wanted. "I'll Get You Anything You Want, Cocatoo in Malibu" is maybe my favorite song ever. We are still singing it. My daughter and me put the CD on in the car. She is 32 :) We sing along.

    Oh, and the Rio movies are so much fun. The Blue Macaws and other birds are adorable.

    I am definitely fan of most animated/disney/etc.movies. I haven't watched, and don't intend to watch Frozen either. lol. These disney movies the last few years just have zero appeal to me, unlike the ones from the 90's to 00's, which I love.

    I would consider watching the Lego movie, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

    It did have some scary moments. My kids are 7.5 and 10. A few times my 7 year old closed her eyes and covered her ears. But, she still loved the movie. I never felt like Maleficent was a villian, just wounded and healing. It was actually very touching. It is something I could relate to as an archetype. And it has a good ending.

    The Lego Movie was not entirely what I expected but I like it a lot. It was a lot more of the Adult Swim style humor than little kid humor, and I like that stuff. I could see people not liking the live action part though.

    But, now that I have kids a lot of the other kids' parents assemble and then glue together their Lego sets. It annoys the crap out of me... don't they realize that defeats the entire purpose of Legos? They are good toys because they teach a lot of things, imagination, creativity, spacial intelligence, structure, counting, etc. You lose all that stuff... "the way I'm using it makes it an adult thing". Thank you Lego Movie :)

    I hate Will Ferrel and the only part of The Lego Movie I liked was Batman. I also agree with you about Frozen....Billion dollar industry, they could have done better. Seems to me they focused all their attention on ONE song/scene and let the rest go to crap.

    An adult didn't like a kids movie... why is this a bad thing? It's aimed at kids. As long a s the kids like it, isn't that enough?

    Haven't seen the movie, and probably won't. I don't have kids and I can't stand Will Ferrell, so there you go...

    The Lego movie is what I imagine an LSD trip to be like but I've never done LSD so I don't know for sure.

    I really was excited to see it, didn't enjoy it one bit. Luckily we saw it for free.
