Wall-E

[Ghoulish Delight]

Spoiler:

Very interesting choice they made to use Fred Willard, non-animated footage of Hello Dolly, and a photograph of the initial cruise ship captains. Don't know if I liked it or not.

I'd like to thank the management of the Century Stadium theater in Orange. They made a couple of brilliant decisions for a kids' movie that made the experience of being in a theater full of kids 10 times better. Until the previews started, they kept the work lights on and the sound on the advertisements barely audible. What this meant was that parents could see perfectly well to help their kids settle in and not worry about wandering off or someone not being able to find the. And it meant that the children weren't competing with the theater sound. They were able to talk and play, getting it out of their system, and when they trailers started, with louder sound and lights off, they got the message that it was time to sit and watch. It helped, of course, that the movie was great and kept their attention, but I think those two details made a world of difference.
