Cars

Yesterday we went to see the new Pixar/Disney movie Cars. It was your typical kids-CGI fare and quite good fun.

S's favourite bit was the tractor-tipping scene, which she relayed to my Gran in great detail today. I'm fairly sure Gran had absolutely no idea what she was talking about, but she made encouraging noises anyway, bless her. :D

As ever John Ratzenberger, who has voiced a lot of parts in Pixar movies (and was Cliff Claven in Cheers, I believe) had a part in the movie; during the end-credits, his character was at a drive-in watching all these car-versions of Pixar movies and commenting on his own performances. Which amused me.

T enjoyed the beginning of the cinema trip, his first ever. He liked the trailers best, I think. They were short enough to keep his interest, and he said "all gone" at the end of each one. He liked the cars in the feature itself, but got restless after a while, trundling about in the row. It was an afternoon performance, and not a busy one, so we had a row of seats to ourselves. He got a bit cross when I wouldn't let him out of our row, but after a while settled down for a kip and S & I enjoyed the second half of the movie undisturbed. He was pretty good for a not-yet 2 year old.
