What age was your DC when you first took them to the cinema ?

DS is 2.8 and can happily sit through the entire Robots DVD in fact would watch it more than once given half the chance.

I am planning to start potty training on Friday, but being a half arsed sort of person I will probably be fed up by Saturday and thought DS might enjoy the cinema. They have a 10.00am showing and I quite fancy seeing Wall-E myself.

Silly idea or doable do you think ?

I took both DSs at around the 3 mark and they both loved it. You will probably have a great time and you can always leave early if it all goes wrong.

We tried at about 2.4 and he was too young; tried again at 2.9 and he was fine (although he needed the loo in the middle).

DS went last Sunday at 2.5

Make sure you get there about 15 mins before the film starts so they can settle down.

Ooh, shudder, have just noticed my grammatical error in the title , that should of course read "were" not was.

thanks crackfox, thing is if we go I want to see the film, not leave early.

What film did he see nappyaddict ?

oh and take an extra large bag of popcorn and chocolate buttons. shoving big chunks of banana in their mouth when they start talking too much is good too

right from the start! not very often, because action films etc too noisy, but we were lucky that DD is fairly placid and has now (at 21 months) sat through about four or five films since birth. Really okay, if you sit on the aisle and are prepared to miss several bits while you sort out nappy, restless baby etc.
During Wall-E we had two one year olds, we sat right at the front with big space in front of us, put down a rug and some toys and they played happily there while the older children and parents watched the film.
As an extra spoiling treat, those long long liquorice tubes take littlies AGES to eat and keep them quiet!
