movies of 2008

Wall-E

great fun. Spoiled slightly by the fire alarm going off near the end, resulting in ten minutes stood around outside, but overall, pretty. Pixar have hit a new level of animation with this one.

Best bit? Presto, the short film beforehand. Utterly, utterly brilliant, hilarious. I'd pay money to see that again.

no, LB hates the cinema - too dark and too loud for her.

Hopefully it'll change...

i started taking M when she was 3 and a half or so, and she loves it, just not sure if she would enjoy that movie

it took some explaining to EB, and he's seven...

M is just 5, she really wants to see it.. eh, i guess i will take her, worst thing that can happen is that she gets bored, she'll still egt to enjoy her popcorn

oh, EB loved it. I just had to explain why there was no-one there, why the plant was important, why people were fat and so on and so forth.

knowing my little girl, i'm guessing it will be pretty much like that for me too

glad you got to enjoy a good time with EB :)

Pixar make some great shorts, don't they. I loved Presto - a classic from day 1.

I thoroughly enjoyed WALL-E too - great to look at and an example of how to make kids movies that other studios should pay attention to.
