It was iffy at the start; someone was saying he didn't want to go to the movie, he'd rather stay home and watch Charlie Brown. Then he decided he'd rather take his balloon from dinner last night, instead of his elephant. He changed his mind on both counts before we left.
(Waiting for the movie to start.)We were in one of the renovated screens today (the theatre updated some of their screens a few years ago). Stadium seating, nice plushy cushions and reclining seats. Plus more seats, although it wasn't a full house. We weren't the only ones with a plush buddy along, although I didn't see any other Hortons like ours.
The movie was a hit, too. Last time, we saw Open Season and spent a good 20% of the movie doing laps in the hallway. This time, El Burrito hopped up in his own seat, had a bit of fun with the seat going up and down, and watched the whole movie. He didn't get too loud, he clapped in a couple of spots, talked about the elephant, and had a good time. Even Onnifaant only landed on the floor two or three times. I was prepared with water and crackers, but other than a drink or two, he didn't want a snack until about 10 minutes before the end.I took a few pics without the flash, but they're not that great. This is one of the better ones. I liked the movie as much as El Burrito did. Usually I'm not a big fan of Jim Carrey, he goes way beyond "over the top" a lot of times. This time, though, he must have been working without caffeine or something, because it wasn't obviously Jim Carrey doing the voice. He was recognizable, but not in-your-face with things.
