Our girls are 8. They do not want to be separated for anything. They will even turn down party invitations unless the sister can go. No they are not twins. Both adopted, only 4 months apart in age and not biological siblings but obviously very close.
One sister has alot of sound sensitivity and cannot deal with suspense. She just can't take it. We had to take her to the lobby for most of Toy Story 3.
When we get netflex movies she self monitors very well and will leave if she gets scared but most of the time she will not even join the family for a movie. Of course that is fine. But I hate to deprive the other sister or myself of some great kiddie movies.
We love Wallace and Grommit and thought she would be just fine but wouldn't you know it the one we got was a teeny bit scarey and she hid most of the time.
We finally found "It's Shaun the Sheep" for us all and they are great. Same artists and studio as Wallace.
So will she outgrow this movie fear? I myself will not go see scarey movies and don't understand the joy in scareing the pants off yourself with Roller Coasters, murder mysteries or movies and Horror Houses. I have not talked about this to my kids so she comes by this honestly.
Any other parents dealing with this issue?
Maybe you should take her to see a child psychologist.

I have to hand it to you paganmama. When you come up with a screwy idea...
My parents could have spent a boatload of money on psychologists and I still would have cried my eyes out and been upset for a week when Moochie lost his dog. (I have a big, soft, mushy heart. Sue me.)
My husband has anxiety issues when I make him watch a romance movie!
The poor man! . Nah i was just afraid that the children might have been adopted within the last few years and have issues they needed to work out. My sister said she has seen children adopted having issues that turn out to be problems caused by parental abandonment, and abuse of various forms.
We go to the earliest movie time to limit the extraneous noise and such from others. We also read the movie spoiler before hand (The Movie Spoiler) if my son wants to so he can enjoy the movie without worries about how things end.
This is not an uncommon problem and does not automatically signal other issues.

I balled my eyes out watching ET--on a first date! He thought I was nuts. My dog didnt like him. That was the first clue...
I always listen to my dogs now! They're smarter than me!
