That's interesting. As a parent of young kids myself I have noticed an absolute dearth of kids movies in the theatres (it's cold outside and we need something to do!). The only one has been the Puss in Boots movie but it's definitely for older kids (part of the plot is Puss literally being pursued by Death) so we haven't been. I'm surprised the theatre couldn't just put on an older movie but maybe the deal with their distributor forbids them from doing so?

My daughter was just invited to a movie party. They watched The Amazing Maruice and the girls loved it.

  Oh nice, looks like that was released in the US a few days ago. Rainy day activity added to the list. Thanks!

Puss in Boots was a fantastic movie for my 7-yr-old, in my eyes it's more like a hispano-western and the artwork is super interesting for me 40-yr-old. Watching it on a small screen where I constantly do breaks would be a shame. We have a small movie theater in Linz, Austria, where they do do put up older movies, just a few months ago I was the only of two dressed as expected for Reservoir Dogs. And then they skip movies altogether and I have to the big one outside the city center. I wish they'd digitalize the movie-wishlist so I could enjoy older movies with friends that we actually want to see.

  Puss in Boots will be gone from the theatres soon (at least in our corner of the US)

> I'm surprised the theatre couldn't just put on an older movie I've been thinking about that too. I've really wanted to get the kids out of the house lately, but there was nothing new to watch in the cinema. I wouldn't mind taking them to see an old film.

  Are there any Second Run Theaters in your area?

When I worked at a movie theater (many decades ago) the theater did not have prints of random movies laying around. The only prints we had were the movies we were currently showing, and those were decided weeks in advance.
