It seems like every couple of weeks a new cartoon movie is released and it usually rakes in a bundle of money. I was wondering if your parents took you to the movies? I usually went with my siblings/ friends but never the parents. I don't know why but it just never happened.

we started going to movies after we got our first tv/VCR it was years ago my mom let us watch Disney cartoon they were sing a long and we used to watched bible cartoon we had Disney cartoons on vsh we watched them my very first movie I remember watching dog movie voiced by Rodney danger field i don't Remember the name i remember my anut taking me the first one i really remember in theater was teenage mutant ninja turtles the original movie I didn't watch many movies when I was really little my two favorites was ninja turtles and back to the future movies BUT WHEN I was A KID I WAS more into video games and toys but now me and my mom and dad take me to movie almost every week or two I do watch movies with my uncle bill a lot

My dad usually took me on the weekends.

Yes they did. Especially when a John Wayne movie came out. Or we would go to a drive in and me and my brother would usually fall a sleep in the back seat of the car.

No they didn't though, we did go to the Drive-In once.

Yep, quite a bit. Some I remember- the original Fun With Dick And Jane, Star Wars during it's original release, Sheena, Megaforce, Yor The Hunter From The Future, Outland, Serial, The Private Eyes, C.H.O.M.P.S., , Zorro The Gay Blade, Under The Rainbow, Logan's Run, Mad Max, Escape From New York, Cannonball Run, City Heat, 48 Hrs, Beverly Hills Cop, Brewster's Millions, The Toy, Caddyshack, Caveman, Quest For Fire, Clash Of The Titans, Treasure Of The Four Crowns 3D, Krull, Tron, Dark Crystal, Ladyhawke, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II, Star Trek III, The Black Hole (Yep, my parents are huge scifi fans)

Most horror films I went with my older sisters, but my dad took me to some- The Island, Deathship, Jaws 3D, Q The Winged Serpent, Blood Beach.

Saw Return Of The Jedi with my mom. The last movie I remember seeing at the theater with both parents was Cat's Eye.

At the drive in- Song Of The South, The Manitou, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers ('78), , I know there was more, my dad took me to see Used Cars at the drive in.

Sure did. I saw Snow White when it was re-released at the drive-in. Same thing with Cinderella. I also saw Gremlins on opening night, we kept trying to find a theater to watch it in because all of them were sold out and we finally got into a 9:30 showing. I also saw these movies:

ET
Cat's Eye (my mom was a big horror movie fan back then and also rented them for me too)
The Care Bears Movie
Flight of the Navigator
The Neverending Story
Return to Oz
The Goonies
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Ghostbusters
Mannequin

All the time! WHen I was a kid my parents used to go the drive in and I would have my blanket, my dolls and some books to read in the car. However, I would sneak a peek at the movies from time to time and some of them (like Dirty Harry) were definitely not for Children!

My grandmother used to take me to the movies all the time and we'd often see the same one over and over again. My dad and I would go with my brother after my parents divorced and when I was in my first year of high school, he took me to see Flashdance b/c I was taking a dance class at school and we did a routine to one of the songs! I also went to a ton of movies with my mom.

Definitely. We went to the movies as a family all the time- we used to go to the drive-in movie theater and usually had some Kentucky Fried Chicken take out for dinner- that was always fun.:) :cool:
And of course, I've also been with my parents and siblings to indoor cinemas too.


At the drive in- Song Of The South,

I'm kinda surprised this movie actually played at a theater somewhere, considering that Disney has only released select parts of it to video, but never a full official release in North America. (Though I have heard it has been released to video in the UK and other parts of the world.)

It has also been released on Japanese and Hong Kong Laserdiscs.

If I had a LD player, and wanted to get the film, I'd definitely get the Japanese Laserdisc. It runs at its proper speed, unlike most other home video copies (due to PAL).

It had 2 theatrical re releases in American theaters during the 80's, we went to the one during 1980.

I can remember a few times going to the drive-in and being in pajamas haha I guess my parents figured I would probably be zonked out by the second feature.

I went to the Drive-in all the time in the early to mid 70's with my parents. I always had a blast. The one movie that I always remember seeing when it came out was Jaws.

Okay- cool. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.:) :cool:

Definitely. I don't recall wearing pajamas, but I do remember the double features at drive-ins - that was great! And we sometimes got interesting combinations- like I think I saw "Beauty and the Beast" paired with "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo"...

Jaws was the first movie I saw at the theater, I was 5.

Yea I was 10 and we lived on the coast in N.C. I remember all the kids talking about it when we would go to the beach. Those were great times.

Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines was the first movie I remember seeing at a Theater. I liked going to the Drive-In because of the following factors.

1. Always a Big Screen

2. Two Movies

3. You could bring your own food

4. You could bring your dog (The Attendant always gave me a Biscuit to give to my dog)

I come from a large family (7 kids). My parents couldn't afford it. But we did go to the drive-in once when " The Ten Commandments" came out. That's one movie my dad wanted to see. I remember it was raining very hard during the parting of the Red Sea.:lol: We had a paper grocery bag filled with popcorn and a large thermos of Kool-Aid. I must have been around 4 at the time. I don't remember much more about it. I never had gone to a movie theater until I was about 12. That time I went with a friend's family. The first movie that I saw in the theater was "Goldfinger". It was kind of "mature" for kids my age back then. :lol:

As a kid in the 80's there wasn't that much Disney fluff being released (thank god!) otherwise my father wouldn't take it much longer, but both mom and dad would be to take us for the usual fare like the Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones, Superman, Rocky, The Terminator, Weird Science, Scarface, Porky's (yep even R-rated stuff!)

But then there were times when they couldn't get a babysitter and my brother and I were forced to see drama drivel like Kiss Of The Spiderwoman.
