So I'm thinking Wallace and Gromit tomorrow morning at Cinema Nova. It will be a good first movie going experience for the boys as it doesn't go for too long and will end before nap time.
I just hope not too many other people are there just in case things don't go smoothly but maybe the novelty will get them through
Can recommend. Can't recall any off colour humour and plenty to keep adult Aardman fans interested.
I decided to ask my kids, "hey, someone in melb Aussie zone has mentioned that they want to take their kids to see the Wallace and grommit movie for their first cinema experience ever.. whaddaya reckon?" Their responses were "Oh yeah I reckon they'll love it. There's heaps of plot twists and cute characters and some cool references" (from 12yo Elder, who felt a little anxious about the cinema itself and wanted to leave halfway through but I convinced him to stay and he was glad he did. He gets anxiety so it's a gentle pushing and toughening of his boundaries at this stage). Miniest said, "that's a great idea, it's easy and good, probably the most perfect thing I've seen in a cinema." (From 10yo Warrior Princess child). My kids are a bit kooky (they are mine lol), YMMV, but I thought their reviews might be of interest.
That's good to hear. The boys are 2 so they won't follow along too much but at a runtime of 80 minutes they may not get tired of things too quickly.
And it feels like a good movie to say was their first. The big kids' movie of the moment is Sonic 3, and whilst Paddington 3 comes out tomorrow as well, it might be a bit much for the boys too
I grabbed a copy of that the other day from the old interwebs. Glad to hear it's a good movie. Been looking forward to it for ages!
