"In there is a great big movie. We are going to go watch it with some other people. It's a movie about a rat who likes to cook. The movie is called Ratatouille."
The next step was talking about volume. Many wise guys told me their kids were afraid of the loud music, explosions, etc.
"This movie is so big that the music and sounds are loud. If they get too loud, you can sit on my lap until it's quiet again."
To which she replied,
"They just need to slow the movie down and calm down to make it a little quieter. Slow it down..."
So when Ratatouille began, she sat in my lap, eyes glued to the screen, tiny fist full of popcorn. Dr. Wife cajoled her onto her lap soon after, but that overwhelmed little smile stayed stuck to the screen the whole time.
Her take,
"I like Ratatouilles. They snuggle me and are nice and don't bite and they like to cook sometimes. I'm going to take a good nap tomorrow so we can go to the big movie again."

Her cousin would be so happy that another little girl goes to the movies as well.
Adrianna has seen 3 movies at the theatre. It's always a process, talk up the movie, get snacks, grab a booster seat, and many reminders to sit still followed by multiple potty breaks.
Now we mainly just take her to the drive in- there's less to do.
if i take a good nap today, can i go to a big movie, too?
:)
Haven't crossed that bridge yet with our three-year-old. He can watch full-length features at home, but something tells me the theater is another issue altogether. And since we never rent stuff, we've seen "Finding Neme" 437 times.
I believe Morgan's first "big movie" was Fantasia 2000. She was too transfixed to move or misbehave. She didn't even ask for a potty break.
I actually want to see Ratatouille.
437 times? egads. i'm assuming by this point you could stage a spot-on production of it in your living room using gi joe dolls.
