Loved the 3D movie, but my daughter was quite scared with the quick jumping of some of the sea creatures lunging suddenly to eat other fish - the shark was pretty scarey, too for my daughter who is 4 1/2. overall, a great movie though - thankfully it ended with cute little sea lions coming out of the screen.

What Parents Need to Know
About Under the Sea 3D
Parents need to know that the filmmakers have minimized the predator-prey relationships in this 3D nature documentary: Even though there's vivid evidence of the food chain at work, those few scenes are presented gently, as part of a natural process. Similarly, the mating behavior that's shown is treated with simple respect. It's worth noting that since the experience of watching a 3D movie brings images very close to your eyes, small children may need some introduction to the concept before watching.

Beautiful
I took my 2 1/2 year old son to see this. He loves fish and animals that live under water. He was enthralled the entire time. He loved it. There are 3 different parts where a big fish eats a little fish. He jumped, I think mostly because of how fast the bigger fish moved in on the smaller ones. I would tell any mom to take her little ones to it. The sea lion ending was a favorite of mine and my son's.
