Mine was Disney's Peter Pan. I was six. I really wanted to be Wendy, and asked my dad on the way out "How old is Wendy?" He replied "About ten, I think." I was really cross with him! Smile

The one I remember was reshowing of The Jungle Book. I was five, I think.

Apparently my folks took me to see Cinderella when I was younger than that and I stood on my seat shouting 'DON'T EAT THE APPLE! DON'T EAT THE APPLE!'

I remember going to see Feivel Goes West and it being the first time I felt aware that I would never get that time back (it felt like the longest film of all time and I hated it!).

I remember hiding my face at the end because I was crying and my dad picked me up and said "look, everyone is crying"... and they were!
