I'm guessing you were responding to my comment.
First of all, although not related to the point I'm about to make, what kind of logic is not-giving-unhealthy-foods-to-my-kid-at-any-time-is-going-to-influence-my-child's-future-eating-habits-even-though-my-child-is-still-too-young-to-understand-nutrition-and-cannot-prepare-meals-for-herself anyway? I believe it is important to make sure your child eats healthy foods,and your intentions are good, but your reasoning that restricting your child's diet is going to somehow "control" your daughter's future eating habits is completely unfounded and ludicrous. Think about it for a moment. By the way, I brought up that "point" with my mother (a registered nurse for 30 years with a degree in psychology) who thought your belief is ridiculous (plus, I was given popcorn and some soda around the same age, and I have never been overweight and I am in very fair health because my mother taught me good eating habits when I was actually old enough to understand them AND raised me on a healthy diet even with a small allowance of "junk food").
Second, you are so strict on your daughter's diet, yet you want to take her to this...movie (I barely call it a "movie") to have fun, because according to your logic, there is apparently no other way for your daughter to have fun for free instead of taking her to this movie that panders only to an audience to make money (the words "marketing visionary" were included in the trailer for a reason...). Let me tell you how you can have fun for free WHILE bonding with your daughter in a way that a cheap-looking, whiny, and brainless film can not: you can take your daughter to a park and push her on the swings, plan a picnic and let her help out, play dolls with her, play "beauty salon", let her play dress up with some of your clothes, do arts and crafts with supplies you have at home; the possibilities are unlimited. Don't tell me that a film is the only way a child can have fun.
On one last note, if you really want her to watch something child friendly (since you would probably believe that I'm being one of those people who disapproves in media as an outlet for children's entertainment, and I'm far from that), I recommend, again, something you can rent at home or buy for a relatively low price, such as episodes of Blues Clues, Little Bear, Out of the Box; shows that entertain your child without screaming at them or encouraging them to dance around in a movie theater. (Which reminds me, by your food logic from earlier, if eating junk food at 3.5 years old directly causes one to eat junk food at 13.5 years old, wouldn't being told to "dance during the movie" at 3.5 years old cause them to scream at the movie screen at 13.5 years old, which is very disruptive behavior, if you weren't already aware).
And yes, these are my beliefs, and I had a very happy and fulfilled childhood.
