Movie and a Tow Truck Ride!

by Michelle Schaefer

Is that like dinner and a movie?

Yesterday, we took the kids to see Surf’s Up.

They loved the movie! According to hubby, the movie is done in a “reality show” format and has interviews with the characters during the movie. Sounds like an interesting way to do a movie.

These new animated movies just amaze me! Then again, I remember seeing the first computer generated animated short by Pixar in the late 80’s at an animation film festival in college. It’s been almost, gasp, 20 years ago.

And now, 20 years later, we have penguins, cars, zoo animals, more penguins etc.

My entertainment for the evening was going to pick everyone up after the van failed to start when the movie let out. You can only fit so many people in a tow truck.
