Water and Wall E

The kids and I went to lunch with a friend and then to see Wall E. The theater was packed. I had mixed emotions about seeing the movie as it didn't look very interesting, but being the mom that I am, I fell for the kids' begging! And, they actually liked the movie although they did say that they like Kung Fu Panda better. I'd have to agree.

IMHO - this movie is not worth $8.00 for a matinee viewing!!! Three-fourths of the movie has no dialogue! And, if that is not enough it is a politically charged kid movie. I mean I am all about keeping earth clean, but come on, an entire movie showing how people pretty much destroyed the earth and went to space to ignore what happened back home. Not to mention that the people went to space and did nothing so they were all very very fat, but they resemble people you see everyday. In the movie, they were so fat that they couldn't even walk. They float around in hover chairs and eat, eat, eat. I don't want my kids thinking that every obese person they see sits around and does nothing. I was surprised that Pixar would go that far. Anyhow, I am only one person with one opinion, but I wouldn't recommend it, and certainly think Pixar could have done better.

Now that I'm off my soap box, here are some pics of the kids as they enjoy playing in a few fountains on Birch Street. They always beg to get wet and are always surprised that they are cold when they are soaked! Life experience is the best teacher though so I let 'em have at it.
