Zootopia and Little Kids (Slight Spoiler)

Disney's Zootopia has been in the movie theater's for a while, and has received, overall, positive feedback. Still, when I've talked with others, the comment that keeps being brought up is the fear caused in certain scenes. I have a brother and sister, one of whom, my sister, was excited for the movie and the other, my brother, was unsure about it. We went to watch Zootopia at the movie theater its first Saturday, and I sat next to my sister, my brother at the other side. Everything went well for about the first half of the movie, but afterwards my sister was half on my lap, half on her seat, scared of what will appear on the screen. My brother, who had the rest of our family on his side, was scrunched up in his seat, head towards the side, and hands at ready to cover his ears. In the scene in which Nick seems to bite Judy, a kid from another part of the movie theater actually started screaming. Overall, not how my movie going experiences had gone before.
     While leaving the movie theater, my brother and I started tuning in to the conversations of others. A parent was actually complaining with his child about how the movie wasn't "like other Disney movies" and that there should have been a warning of some sort. While yes, the man could have gone into searching information about the movie before hand, considering that it came out in other countries before opening in the United States. Still, I too had cared for getting additional information of the movie because I like going in with the story not greatly known.
     Anyone, upon arriving home, the adults in my family liked the story, though a few stated that it did get darker than they expected. My brother, trying to make everyone forget that he was scared, started talking about how other kids would be more afraid than him if they saw the movie. So, from that day forwards, we started asking people if they'd seen the movie, and if they thought it was scary. With kids, there was a broad range of responses that were received. Some considered the movie "cool" because, according to one child, "it wasn't always happy." Others stated that it was scary, but a bunch were giggling when mentioning their fear. Of the adults, many told us that they enjoyed the movie, but a lot were complaining that it "got too scary for their kids." Of the few that were completely fine with the movie, their kids, overall, hadn't even gotten scared.
     My brother and I started talking about what other kids movies we'd seen at home (not at the movie theater), were not afraid of, but, if thought about, had scenes that came off as scary. Neither of us had seen Pixar's Finding Nemo when it had been in the movie theater (we didn't go to the movies a lot in the past). We figured that the scene when the shark, Bruce, is chasing after Dory and Marlin was relatively scary. This continued with The Nightmare Before Christmas (I'd been afraid, but he hadn't), Snow White (the queen's hideous transformation), Hotel Transylvania, and so forth. Overall, we couldn't really decide if Zootopia was actually too scary for kids or not because we ended up with scattered information. Of the kids who'd recently watched Snow White for the first time, their opinions, too, were varied. So, while a black-and-white result had not been received, we at least got the movie-watching backgrounds of various people.
