I showed "Toy Story" to my nephew, who was 2 at the
time. I didn't think it would upset him, but he was
bawling his eyes out when Woody and Buzz got left
behind at the gas station. He watched the ending from
my lap, arms clutched around my neck, while I assured
him that the ending was happy.

I know better now, the only Disney movie I've showed
him since is the modern remake of "The Parent Trap".
He's five now, and he found something to be scared of
- when they left Meredith in the middle of the lake.
It will be a long long time before he gets to watch
"Beauty and the Beast", which is my favourite of the
modern Disney films.
