Chicken Little

I'm a little late posting this, but I felt it was worth mentioning. I asked my son the other week what he wanted to do ? He chose to go see "Chicken Little" the movie. I shouldn't have been surprised at all. Children seem to be mesmerized with cartoons, and their characters these days. They can memorize an episode from start to finish. Upon arrival I got two surprises. The first one was the fact that the theatre was full. It was a packed house not an empty seat left. Some people couldn't get in. The fact that it was a bargain matinee may have helped. I haven't experienced that since the premeir of "Purple Rain". Of course the lines weren't there, but just the same. I hadn't been in a full theatre, in quite a while.The second surprise was that I really enjoyed myself. Not just the joy you get, from watching a smile come across your childs face. I enjoyed it as though, I chose to see it myself. I was on the edge of my seat. Waiting in anticipation like the children and other adults were. I won't give the movie away, by talking about it. I'll just say for a fun way to spend the afternoon with your small children. I highly recommend it.If I had a rating system with stars. One * being poor save your time and money. Five ***** being excellent, go and see it quick. I would have given it five stars. I didn't leave feeling like I could have waited for cable or video. It was worth the money.
