I think Up was more of a dramedy than a comedy for kids, but I think parents often under-estimate their children. They basically used the same formula in other films that they made such as Cars, and Finding Nemo. On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 6:38 PM, Keith Johnson keithbjohn...@comcast.netwrote:

I'd say that Princess Mononoke is way scarier than Spirited Away. Sprited Away has some strange looking characters, such as the witch, the creature No Face, and a mud type creature that oozes all over a bathhouse. But it's not a menacing-feeling movie. It's got lots of heart and humour.
