I was so glad we watched it before showing it to the boys (which we then didn't do!) The Lorax is a fantastic book I haven't seen the movie so I can't comment on that but the book is one of our favs <br />great recommendations.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222932623391963935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078414002337966400.post-89462315386687058922012-09-10T07:35:11.531+12:002012-09-10T07:35:11.531+12:00We love family movie nights too - and it looks lik...We love family movie nights too - and it looks like you have the same movie taste as us! My kids had tears after the chitty chitty bang bang child-snatcher too! But the rest of the movie is awesome - and the Muppets are big in our house at the moment too - love singing along with those songs myself!

Mine are 8, 10 and 12 now so I (foolishly) thought we could throw in the odd 12 rated film, you know, something we might all enjoy. <br />I can confirm that The Woman In Black is NOT a good idea. Gb was up twice with nightmares (The GUILT!).

Esky OFTEN asked us to skip over sections of <i>Chitty Chitty Bang Bang</i> (even the spies chasing the family frightened her -- forget the child catcher -- whom I skipped altogether), but I could tell she enjoyed other parts. Such a charming movie. <i>Mary Poppins</i> is next on my list for that rainy / sick night we need a snuggle solution.

Alvin and the Chipmunks. I can't wait until Miss 5 is old enough that we can do the grownup musicals like West Side Story and Singin' in the Rain!

I've been collecting my childhood favourites to watch when she gets bigger. Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the original Willy Wonka are some of my favourites! But some of the other titles I have stashed away are Bedknobs and Broomsticks (I remember the ending Penny Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641511944952376898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078414002337966400.post-77421007083107029152012-09-07T12:02:17.103+12:002012-09-07T12:02:17.103+12:00Ohhh you have to have swiss family robinson!

I haven't seen the Lorax either, but to be honest the story does drag on a bit too - though I gather they diverge quite a lot from it anyways (but decided to keep that aspect obviously!).<br /><br />The second Toy Story is possibly even better than the first, my daughter thinks so for sure.

I must admit I never liked it when I was little, but after randomly singing a couple of the songs with the girls, and you-tubeing a few of the scenes, we watched the movie and really enjoyed it!<br /><br />PS... family movie nights are AWESOME!!
