Thanks for the advice and all of the suggestions! I'm fine with waiting or never watching these movies if she doesn't want to watch them. Cricket3 I will definitely check out "the snowman" and "the bear".
Offering her the book versions first is such a great suggestion. Now that I think about it, she does seem to handle literature a bit better.
Lovemydd: I totally agree. DD doesn't just cry at the obviously bad stuff. It's often the subtle tension building or the ominous feeling that something bad is about to happen. She does not like duplicitous characters.
On the subject of the cultural gap/being misfits - that basically describes our entire family. We are definitely the oddballs of our community and so far kindergarten. Oh well, DH and I embrace it, so hopefully DD will see it as a positive as well.
Funnily enough, we just received an invitation to an "Ariel" party yesterday. I'll have to explain to DD that she's the one with the red hair and check out some Hans Christian Anderson.
Thanks again for the help.
