A long time ago we were trying to think up a name for some of our KidPak events, as we initially sort of "winged it" with titles. We couldn't use the word "festival" all year long, so Daddy jokingly suggested the word "Bash" for a lot of things. So our movie nights are all suddenly "bash" this and "bash" that. Tonight was the Summer Movie Bash!
And so it came to pass that here we are again at another "bash." Tonight, Madison joined us for the Summer Movie Bash, where we popped in the movie, "Escape from Planet Earth."
It was a lot of fun for the kids - they all got popcorn and drinks, and we popped in the movie at the auditorium for everyone to watch while the parents got a few ours to "escape." Here's a photo of Madison, munching on some popcorn with her friend Matthew.
As you can see, she was sitting in the back this time. That's where Daddy could find her for to be a part of the Wisenheimer invention skit. This is where you put that wild invention on a kid's head - and it "reads" their minds and projects up on the screen what they'd look like if they were a space alien. We picked about fifteen kids, and there were different images that would pop up there on the screen, ranging from E.T. to Jar Jar Binks. When it went on Madison's head, the audience called out "One...two... three!" The machine lit up, sound effects went off, and here's what showed up on the screen:
As for the movie, it was decent. It's growing on me a little. We picked "Escape from Planet Earth" because:
1. It was the only animated movie to be released on DVD/Blu Ray recently.
2. That's pretty much the only reason we had.
So our reasoning was sound! It didn't matter. We had a great time, asking trivia questions afterwards, using that invention and just having fun with all the kids that showed up. We had a few hundred, so there was enough to generate a lot of excitement. And a lot of mess too! Lots of popcorn everywhere!
