2nd Movie night - WALL-E screening


Last Friday (6-27-08) I had the girls swing by my work to celebrate the release of WALL-E. We hoped the actual wandering WALL-E robot that had made an appearance a few weeks back was going to make be there for photo opportunities, but... no such luck. At least the girls got some toy give-aways, and some stickers. We DID take a photo with this fun cardboard standee, but it wasn't the same.

Later that night we had our second movie night and watched "Beauty And The Beast". I gotta say, still LOVE that movie. Wonderful music, classy animation, great art direction... what more could I ask for. That night did, however, warn us that VIVI was still not probably ready to sit through a movie at the Theatre. We found out for sure that next morning. We went to see WALL-E at an employee screening, and at approximately 10 minutes into the film , Vivi stood up and said "No more WALL-E". Well, I had promised taht I would miss this showing, and would see the back up screening I had signed up for later that afternoon.

Vivi and I played in the arcade at the movie theatre for the next hour and thirty minutes while we waited for Lynn and Bella to finish. We had so much fun even though the first 20 minutes we played, none of the games were actually even turned on yet. Vivi danced and sang, making up steps and funny songs as she moved around on the Dance Dance Revolution game. She was a blast:)

So.. I may have missed the movie the first time through, but the fun memory I'll have of that crazy DDR VIVI queen will hopefully live in my head forever:)

Wall-E totally looks like the robot from "Short Circuit," minus the cheesy 80's style of course... but i'm sure Pixar made a totally original story otherwise
