Yellow Collaborates

Part of my TGIF routine, is to stop by the local RedBox and pick up a couple of movies. Yeah, two movies over a night, its kind of a pressure. But anyone who raised a 5 year old should be able to correlate. The challenge is not find what we can watch but what my Lil Brat needs to see. And choosing a good one from the Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks kinda pack is a challenge as we have to sit through it too.

This weekend I was lucky as I found Alvin and the Chipmunks to be available easily. Normally I book it on their website before pickup. Its a good family watch and entertains you all around. Do not expect a Cars or Nemo, but I guess such kids movies are like kids themselves. Each “movie” is special.

But the best part I of it that made me write this is a part that I have experienced in real life. In one of the scenes Jason Lee a.k.a Dave Seville is woken up to the tunes of Sponge Bob Square Pants ….Whooooo lives in a pineapple, under the sea! while the chipmunks entertain themselves. My wife and I could not help laughing at each other as any lazy Saturday and Sunday morning (when we try to sleep into 9AM) are broken by the same tunes.

And today, since she woke me up a tad bit late for our hike onto Camelback; we slumbered again only to be woken up to…

Well, if you were looking for a review, I would say its nice, cute and neat. Kids should love it. But as adults we might beg to differ. It definitely is not the best but is a good watch as family time.

Next big thing that I look to is WALL.E, Pixar has a reputation to exceed!
