What a wonderful experience. Everyone seems to love this movie. Obviously noone read my luke-warm review from the premier. Of course seeing it with a theater full on kids on a Sunday morning makes the movie seem a whole lot better.
And even though the movie is a wee bit scary, none of the wee laddies seemed to be upset beyond reconciliation. The best part of it all; it made $70.6 million on opening weekend! That is hard to fathom. That makes it the best opening of an animated film ever, and also has the best box office on a Saturday of any animated film. (One could go on and on with fun statistics with this one). But the bottom line is that Pixar done did good. (AGAIN!)
The movie was also much needed by my family with the passing of my Grandmother this week. Vera Miller was a conerstone of our family, and was loved by many in her community and the church. We will all miss her very much, especially since my other grandparents died when I was younger and she was the one I grew up knowing the longest and the best.
