And so it was made to be. Sorry, been listening to The Story of King Arthur and His Knights.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I went off to Chatham, secured a place nigh onto the theater and dismounted from my mighty mount, clad all in silver and. Oh wait&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>There were maybe four families there with kids ranging from very very small to older elementary grade in the theater. <\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t divulge all the particulars. Before the film started I was thinking back on the first thing I&#8217;d seen at the Crandell years ago &#8211; Monsters Inc. At the time I was totally taken by the short film shown beforehand &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0248808\/\" title=\"For the Birds\" target=\"_blank\">For the Birds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With that the curtains closed and opened and a couple Disney\/Pixar trailers and then&#8230; a short! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1957945\/\" title=\"La Luna\" target=\"_blank\">La Luna<\/a>.  Most wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Then the main attraction: Brave.  <\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t say too much since I know several people who haven&#8217;t yet seen it, but I will say I found myself having to be quite brave myself because several parts were rather scary. I felt bad for the littler short people who were there. OK, I did want to hurt the woman sitting behind me who talked a GREAT deal to the small child who was with her. Presumably to keep said small child from bolting or screaming.<\/p>\n<p>I will say, the whole was wonderful &#8211; beautiful to look at and surprising in many ways. The incessant commercials for the film totally preserved the plot of the film and made it look rather silly. I purposely didn&#8217;t go looking for any plot information before I went so I was allowed to be taken in by the story line. I was relieved that the trailers and ads revealed so little about the whole.<\/p>\n<p>I give it a definite thumbs up but leave the little little kids at home. It&#8217;s not a cartoon for the very very young. I will confess to a lot of smiling over the games and a relief that the music was not overwhelming (not celtic enough for my taste and not overwhelming in the main). And, the dedication gave my heart a strong tug.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/queenofallmydomains.com\/quiltr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_2575.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/queenofallmydomains.com\/quiltr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_2575-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The Crandell Theater\" title=\"The Crandell Theater\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_2575-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_2575-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_2575-624x467.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I give it a definite thumbs up but leave the little little kids at home. <a href=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/?p=5533\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4,12,28],"tags":[514,521,528],"class_list":["post-5533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-in-the-world","category-deadlines","category-in-the-neighborhood","tag-art-in-the-world","tag-deadlines","tag-in-the-neighborhood"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3FVAs-1rf","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5533"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5537,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5533\/revisions\/5537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
