As we stood in line to get our tickets and popcorn, Matthew spotted the theatre's arcade. He then totally forgot why we were at the theatre and I had to drag him crying off of a video game so we could get to our seats.
He gobbled up his candy and popcorn during the previews in between holding his hands over his ears. He asked to go to the bathroom during the Toy Story short before the movie started so I missed the ending, which made me sad. Matthew then decided that running up and down the corridor to the bathroom was much more fun than sitting still and watching a movie, so he asked me one more time a little later, and then Richard took him a THIRD time after that. When he asked a fourth time, Richard left me with Emmett and Charlotte and he took Matthew to run a quick errand. When the movie was over we found them in the theatre arcade.
The movie itself was OK. Not Pixar's best. I didn't feel the heart and soul like I usually do. Emmett loved the action sequences and I saw him bobbing excitedly up and down in his seat through them. Charlotte actually curled up and fell asleep in her seat through the middle of the movie.
My favourite part was Tokyo. The Pixar-fied city was luminous and beautiful. The rest of the movie just felt like it was rather lazily written and patched together. I am glad we didn't pay extra to see it in 3D.
