DS2 might be watching Despicable Me 2 at school tomorrow.....

[Sparklingbrook]

And I have bought him the DVD for Christmas.

AIBU to be a bit upset?

I quite like the Chipmunks films

The Smurfs/Yogi Bear, on the other hand....

DS2 watched Alvin and his chipmunky friends over and over and over Heart.

Mine too. But we've already seen it at the cinema 3 times so I can't be upset.

saw nativity 'danger in the manger' and thought it was a bit eew when Stacey ( know not her name but you know who I mean) gives birth infront of the children. unnecessary..

YY thebody. Joanna thingy?

Was it a lush birth

Good idea Miaow. We have a popcorn maker and I was told today that Lakeland do popcorn Flavourings.

I can understand how you feel, I bought son The Demon Dentist (book) as one of his gifts, but he found it in the library on Saturday and has now read it.

I'm going to give it to him anyway as I'm sure he'll want to read it again.

Despicable Me 2 is brilliant, he'll want to see that again too.

Yes, I think it will be fine. Hopefully he will love it and will be really pleased to be able to watch it again and again.

Worst case scenario is he comes home saying it was 'meh'. Sounds unlikely though.

Don't worry, he won't mind watching it again.

Me and DS1 have seen it in the cinema four times and DS2 5 times! It's been on kids club a lot and its one of the few films we saw at full price too.

They are getting it for Christmas too.

I think I love it as much as them, I even have a minion text alert

DS likes the Chipmunks on loop.

It reminds us of the traumatic day when we couldn't get all the nephews and nieces for the same screening at the cinema (their Christmas present), so we had to watch it at the cinema twice in a day with two sets of children.

It was excellent preparation for parenthood.

Despicable Me 2 is great. DS and I both loved it at the cinema. He's 2. The baby just dozed and fed through it. Philistine.

Have Bottom as my text alert and the new minions Christmas ring tone as well : o merry Christmas, smelly bum!!!

I loved nativity. Second one was rubbish thou!

He will probably enjoy being the one who knows what happens next when you all watch it together.

The rest of you may enjoy that a wee bit less...

I was a bit sad last Christmas when we watched The Snowman and Father Christmas and DS was saying "Hey! I watched this at school!"

I had been looking forward to him seeing them for the first time with me and it was disappointing to discover he'd already seen it.

He still enjoyed watching it with me though so it wasn't spoilt, but I just felt disappointed because it was something I was looking forward to.

I quite liked Nativity 2. I loved seeing Marc Wootton interacting with the kids, I thought he was brilliant. I'm sick of Martin Freeman's miserable face which has put me off the first one.

Despicable Me 2 is good but not as good as the first one. My older dds like the Nativity films and have seen Nativity 1 loads of times.
Agree Megamind is excellent.very funny

I bought my DDs Despicable Me 2 for Christmas.

BUT they're going to their dad's for Christmas and aren't back to mine until the 30th so I can't watch it until then!

WIBU to wrap it up for myself?

Do it Sidge.

Sticky I feel exactly the same about Martin Freeman's face

Hijacking, but what do you reckon is the younger age limit on enjoying Despicable Me? DS is 4...

My dn is 5 and loves both 1 & 2.

I have bought my dd yhe 2nd one on dvd for christmas, she watched it at school the other week too however she loves it so she wont be disappointed to get it. It will be the opposite as she keeps asking for it on dvd.

I love saying bottom. It is so childish though

ninja I think any age would love it!
