Children Movies

Hello everyone, I can't remember if I have already told you but I babysit every Friday and Saturday night for a family with four kids. Hanging out with kids all of the time has taught me some things. It took some getting used to because I only have a brother who is 13. So we are pretty grown up compared to the kids that I babysit. Anyway last night I went to the movie Hotel Transylvania with the kids.

Watching a movie that is intended for a younger audience is a different experience if you have never done it before. Being older, you pick up on some of the innuendos and things that the kids aren't supposed to understand. Yesterday at the movie I noticed that some of the jokes were interpreted differently depending on how old the person was. There was some jokes that you could tell that just the kids laughed at and some that you could tell that the parents enjoyed too.

That is one of the things that I really enjoyed about this movie. I actually thought that this movie was pretty good (I normally don't like animated kids movies). It dragged on at parts in my opinion but overall it was good. The kids seemed to really enjoy it and looking around at the people that were there, I would say that kids no younger than 5 would really get a kick out of this movie. So if you have kids that you know they might like this movie. It was about Halloween but was not scary which was nice because some times movies that are intended for kids end up being scarier for the kids than originally thought.

On a kind of unrelated note, what has happened to the portion sizes at the movie theatres? Last night I got the kids each a kids popcorn box, that comes with popcorn, a fruit snack, and a pop. I got a small popcorn for my self and I was shocked by how much it was. I couldn't even finish half of it. I felt like it was a super sized popcorn or something but it was just a small! This is why America is getting fatter. When I ask for a small popcorn  I would like a portion size that is accurate! Is that too much to ask for? I know most people would be like "why are you mad that you got more that what you paid for" but that is my reaction on that topic.

Thanks for reading:)
