What he said^^^
When I saw Up last night it was all adult couples. Literally not a single child in the theater.

"Uh oh, the balloons are gone!"
"Puppies!"
"The birdie is funny!"

In the context of it being a movie primarily intended for kids of that age, I would have found such a thing to have enhanced the movie. Sure, I'm a rose-lensed idealist, but I figure that the average human being has roughly 80% of their lifespan devoted to having all sense of wonder and magic and other childish things bludgeoned the fuck out of them...so I'm not going to bitch about a kid still clinging to a few remaining lifelines of being, well...a kid.
It always bums me out whenever I see a kid acting amazed at something they see, or wanting to show everyone within earshot something incredible they found, only to be told to shut up and sit still. I'd never say anything to the parents because it's not my right to tell them how to raise their kid, but it always depresses me when I see it happen.
Dimmukane:
It would have been cuter if all the other kids had said anything. There were at least 30 children present, and he was the only one talking, with an outside voice. Like I said, it wasn't bothering me all that much, because he didn't do it very often, but it was getting on other peoples' nerves.
Will:
I have an extraordinary amount of patience with kids, which is weird because I generally don't like people and have a low tolerance for what I percieve to be stupidity or bullshit. For some reason, kids from around the age of 2-10 don't annoy me though.
Alex C:
I don't really believe in treating kids much different from adults. I like kids, and oddly enough, I'm pretty good with them, but I don't think they (or anyone) needs to prattle on to appreciate the world around them. Showing regard for others isn't the same as having to swallow your dreams. Granted, I've been told that I'm actually just plain pretty patient in general, so maybe that has more to do with my view point than anything else.
