Very scary & dark. I do not recommend.,

This review is from: The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris (DVD)
We LOVE Madeline & from the looks of the cover & the description, this looked like a very sweet movie to share with my 3-yr old as a special treat. Little did we know where this movie was headed. Madeline gets lured away from Miss Clavel's boarding school by a group that preys on orphans. After a teary goodbye from her friends & the promise of a charmed life ahead, she gets forcefully separated from her dog Geneveve in the subway station & then taken to a scary neighborhood & then down into a basement sweatshop full of scared, pale children making lace. The room is a dark, terrifying dungeon & the woman who runs it is mean. She wields these huge scissors & threatens to chop off Madeline's hair if she does not work hard & obey.
At this point we turned off the movie. I don't know why we waited so long. I guess I just never believed the writers would ever take the story down such a terrifying & dark path. I feel so mislead and angry and my child was simply frozen with fear. We had to read many books after switching it off to get some of the imagery out of her mind. This was not at all appropriate for a 3-yr old (or a 4-yr old or a 5-yr old). Thank goodness I watched it with her! Otherwise who knows what else she was going to be exposed to. Why, oh why, do they make these kid videos so awful???

This review is from: The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris (DVD)
We are all huge Madeline fans here in our home, but this movie is not a good one. Parts of it are scarry and just not fun for kids and it's pretty boring. The Madeline dvd's with episodes are much better- we have a few of those and love them.

Very Rare,
This review is from: The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris (DVD)
I love Madeline, I loved when I was little, and I love it now.
It's very rare in this era of "the birth family is the best place for children" that we get a movie that says "family means the people that love you"and that's why people hate this movie. Notice, that most of the bad reviews are written by parents with biological children, and not by parents with adopted children. Just so you know, I was seven when I watched this movie and was not scared by it, because of that I feel like an alien. I am 16 now and can notice the movie's theme, and why the reviews are bad. This Madeline story, because of its theme, is close to my heart.
