Am I the only one?

Am I the only person who did not find this movie disturbing or creepy? I honestly don't understand why people say it might scare young children. I enjoyed it. I first saw it 4 years ago when I was 11. I'm a junior in high school now. My younger sister watched it with me when she was 6 and said it scared her. I found the movie Little Otik much more disturbing (though I still loved it!). Anyway, I can't understand what scares or disturbs people about this film. I'm curious. I just thought it was interesting and probably one of my favorite films.

Well, I'm not in the exact age group to answer your question, having just seen this movie for the first time tonight, and I'm 21, but I didn't find it creepy or dark at all. I would let my younger brother watch it, once he's a little older and has the attention span to sit through it. (He's three and a half right now.)
It's definitely a very "art" movie rather than children's entertainment, but if you're mature enough to enjoy that, I say watch it whatever age. It didn't seem frightening at all. (On the other hand, you never know what kids will be scared of.)

Well, you guys both obviously have giant balls of steel.
Though neither of you is 12, you both sound like it.
You may as well have started a thread
"Am I the only one... with a 15" penis?"

People who try to look brave on internet boards are
the same guys afraid of the silliest little stuff.
You probably thought your sister's My Little Pony was
staring at you at night and had to set it out in the hallway
when going to bed.

Well, to me it's quite obvious. I saw this for the first time recently and enojoyed it a lot, but I know most certainly that this would have creeped me out as a child -- Why? For example, it's often disturbing imagery and noises, the weird creatures eg. skulls popping out of eggs, skeleton-creatures, the rabbit with it's large teeth and manner of closing-opening his mouth when he sees Alice, these creatures attacking Alice... I was very afraid of skeletons & skulls as a child, so this would have been nothing I would have slept well of.

I'm a junior, too. I think the most disturbing part of this film was the rabbit clicking its teeth, and the huge, glass bug-eyes.

Agreed! The bunny was totally the scariest thing...

I'm 19, so I can't answer your question really good either, but I can understand why some people find it dark. Loads of people think the unknown is terrifying (Including me), and this movie was pretty....unknown...nothing much made sense.

Humans seem to respond to this in two ways: Making fun or it or being frightened of it.

I think it's disturbing and creepy, but my next move after that isn't to assume that it would scare young children--neither "disturbing" nor "creepy" are anything like "frightening" in my opinion, and I personally see "disturbing and creepy" in artworks as extremely positive qualities.
