Yes get out your crystal ball! I quite fancy watching this cartoon, although I've seen quite a few recently

Well there is a screening on the 24th with Timesplus, no idea whether there are tickets left.

There is a post on MSE saying that Disney store in Swindon were giving out 4 free tickets to this film today for a screening this Sunday. This might happen at more Disney Stores as I got Hannah Montana The movie free tickets from my local store in the Summer and it was Nationwide then. The MSE poster spent £10, but last time I just went in and asked for them and there was no mention of a spend. Just a thought if you have one near you, might be worth either a phone call or popping into the store.

The projectionist didn't turn up at Wood Green (now a Vue), London this morning so we left. Others were waiting around to see if it would take place later. The cinema gave us Vue vouchers but it is annoying as it was a 10.30 am start. And Vue made a hefty profit with all the food and drink they sold beforehand.

Saw this today in Harrow Vue (first cinema trip since August!). The cinema was surprisingly full for a Sunday morning, only one free seat left by the time the movie started. I'm not a times subscriber so was glad that we weren't asked for the timeplus card, didn't want to be turned away so early in the morning when none of the shops were open! It's been awhile since I've seen a disney movie and I loved it. It was typical disney and predictable but a really sweet film and I liked the new take on the whole frog prince story. Can't see it turning into a classic but definately worth a watch 8/10

Did they not give you a refund?! Should have at least given extra tickets to make up for it.

We didn't hang around in Wood Green when they said the projectionist hadn't turned up and we hadn't spent any £ on food (popcorn and fizzy drinks at 10.30 am, no thanks) but I didn't see them offering any refunds to others who had b*ght lots of food and drink. I doubt they would have even offered tickets to compensate but when we got there they said they 'hoped' the film would happen by 10.30 am and I asked if they had the film. They said the film had arrived but there was some other problem. I mentioned that if it didn't go ahead we'd have to be given some tickets to compensate. I wonder if they would have offered otherwise?

I have also written to Vue but no response so far. I can't really complain to the Times as I'm not a subscriber and have no membership number!

Wanted to see this but the only London screening on the new code is at Wimbledon - eek! - just a bit too far which is a real shame.
