I've waited 14 years.... And now I can't see it in theaters? 😢

Such a shame.... really wanted to take my kids but it's not worth the risk to my health. Wish these studios would take into consideration what flashes like this can do to others

Why have strobe lighting in a kids movie

Thanks Katie! That is such an important issue. You'd think if they can do a feature film in HD,IMAX and a bunch of others, they could do one without strobe, laser or flash light effects. Kind of a thought...🤔☺️
