We rarely see more than one kid's movie but recently we saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Astro Boy within a couple of weeks of each other. For others surveying the kids movie scene, we like both of them. We avoided Wild Things because we heard it was kind of negative and "dark". Although some of those things could be said about parts of "Cloudy" the 2 adults and the elementary school boys thought it was a good movie, creative and interesting. Astro Boy was everything you want in a younger boys kids movie and we all enjoyed it. It even had a moral message that was positive, appropriate and upbeat.

Anybody see or hear about movies that are good in the theatres or on CD release?

The movies you mention are the same ones we have here. Not really interested in seeing any of them.

On another note, ds is going on a school-wide field trip to see Annie, the play. I haven't seen the movie so I'm a little nervous. I was chosen as one of the chaperones, so at least I'll see what he sees.
