First Cinema Experiences with Peppa Pig: The Golden Boots

Elliot LOVES Peppa Pig and actually I don't mind watching it, sometimes it's even quite funny. (Or maybe I need to get out more?!) He goes into the "Peppa Trance" whilst watching it and it's always a good option to put on if I need Elliot to sit down whilst I cook dinner.

As soon as I heard there was going to be a special 10 year celebratory episode being shown at the cinema I knew I'd be getting tickets for us. I thought it would be a good introduction to the cinema without him having to sit through a 2 hour film. Because lets face it, what toddler will sit still and quiet for 2 hours?!!

The storyline won't be winning any Oscars. (Mrs Duck nicks Peppa's boots!) I won't give away the ending but lets just say there's muddly puddles a plenty, some songs, Mr Potato, Daddy pig explaining science and magic and Mrs Rabbit doing what she does best!!

The new feature length episode is nestled between some old favourite episodes and exciting, I hadn't seen one of them before!!!Woo! (Yep ok, I definitely need to get out more....) The best one is the one where Mrs Rabbit gets an award from the Queen  - who'd have thought one likes to jump in muddy puddles?!

The only downside of the cinematic experience is the Channel 5 Milkshake presenters who chat in between the episodes. I thought CBeebies presenters were happy, this lot are on another scale! I found them a bit annoying and it reminded me why we don't have Milkshake on in the mornings....

So, did we enjoy it? Yes we did, Elliot behaved very well and he was transfixed! He got a bit fidgety in the middle but nothing another snack didn't fix ;)  He loved the massive screen and it was cute to see how excited he got when he heard the Peppa Pig credits start!

Waiting for the pig!
