I hope there won't be a huge queue at the O2, I might arrive at 10 and thinking of all the kids there freaks me out.

Meh, i expected much more. My daughter and my friend's girls seemed to enjoy it but the pace was a bit off for keeping a lot of the children involved. Loved Dave Grohl's cameo but iWalter annoyed me as a character. Paisley was oversold so we had people standing. Thanks to MGellatly for the tickets and do you drive a wee silver car? If so I was parked behind you :)

Im not sure what to make of it :S

Jason Segal, annoying as hell, as he has been for a while.
Amy Adams, annoying as hell, she seems to be choosing the same ditsy roles...(if I was her I would have dumped him 9 3/4 years ago!)

The pace of the film was good in places but you could tell when it slowed and got boring when the kids started crying and screaming and using the chairs as a climbing frame.
Then there was the annoyance of having got there 50 mins early(theyd already started letting people in before this point) to have them play the film, without having tested it.
Needless to say there were "technical difficulties" and a stampede shifted to the screen next door.

The most enjoyable thing for me was, admittedly, the toy story short before the film.
Sorry muppets!

I dragged myself to O2 to meet up with C_T and Beate etc. Lovely to meet Octopuss and RainyB finally and meet up again with Tilly Beate and OH. Spoke to Wierdy briefly but upstairs was full so he was downstairs with Mrg and friends.

So I'm not a Muppet fan, never have been, and I only came to give CT her birthday card. However if I say the Muppets were the best part apart from Miss Piggy, you can image what I thought of it. Didn't like the human cast at all, all that cute singing and dancing made me want to vomit :X
I did like the Man or Muppet song but had no idea who the cameo was :confused:

NOt really one for little kids.the one in front of us was pretty bored and got very restless. As for the Muppet fans either side of me, they were really good and didn't sing or anything.

Toy Short was great though

5/10 because its not my thing
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks
