Why kids and 3D films don't mix
Why kids and 3D films don't mix | Technology | The Guardian

3D films might be a technological marvel, but why didn't they think to make the glasses fit younger children?

Characters from the new Disney/Pixar film Up - but can your children see them?

I'd love to see Up, the new Pixar film. And so would my kids. But it's not going to happen because we can't do 3D; not after Ice Age 3D.

Fifteen minutes in I knew the jig was up: my three year old was lying on his back, feet in the air while the six year old had taken his shoe off and was whispering into it.

"Where are your glasses!" I hissed.

"They fell off . . . " said the oldest.

"Glasses?" said the youngest.

"Yes . . . the ones that mean you can see the film."

"Look," said the oldest, putting them on. One arm sprang off his ear. I pressed it back. They slid down his nose.

"Tip your head back," I told him, because I had just paid an enormous West End premium in order to embrace this fantastic new technology (and I also really wanted to see if the squirrel thing gets the acorn in the end).

The specs weren't even close to fitting the youngest. I held them on with a hand on either ear. After a minute or so I realised I was holding a pair of glasses in mid-air because he had slipped to the floor to eat discarded popcorn.

I contemplated the glasses: I could see the film studios had invested millions in developing this wonderful technology. I could also see that to market it they had realised they needed to get kids on board. But then they just churned out a billion pairs of adult-sized glasses that don't fit anyone under eight. Nice going, guys.

LOL!!!! That is so true! I had my 6-year-old niece TAPE her glasses to her temples while watching a 3D movie!

It is an eyeopener really. These people should learn that kids are a good target for animated films. That is why they should come up with glasses that fit them to a TEE!

I love the author's original snide remark. Nice going, really, guys!

I never really thought about it this way, but you are right, they should come out with 3D glasses that fits kids!
