We had such a lovely time at the IBU Family Christmas Charity Screening yesterday!
For those wondering, Olaf's Frozen Adventure was absolutely magical for Ella Grace. It is the perfect length for a toddler, catchy, sweet and has a beautiful theme. She loved it and even broke into dance she was so happy and excited!
As for the main feature, Coco, she really enjoyed it too! I thought they incorporated death and spirits into the storyline very tastefully but I would still use discretion in deciding if this would be suitable for your child. Disney does such a beautiful job with the animation and songs the kids basically danced and smiled their way through the two hours.
Lastly, the MBO Cinemas Kecil hall was a dream! So perfect for little ones. Love that it wasn't too loud or dark and when they got a little restless, could run it off in a few separate play areas. The seats were comfortable, the theater was clean and it wasn't too cold or hot! Loved that there was stroller parking and easy access to a bathroom.

Mama's top tips for the perfect movie day w a toddler:
1. Prep them for what the cinema might look and feel like, what we will do and what is expected of them
2. Pack snacks!!! - she couldn't do popcorn and soda so I packed her a bunch of little treats and she loved it! We did raspberries, grapes, blueberries, cucumber sticks, mandarins and cheese sticks.
3. Enjoy your time together - it's a theater full of kids w their mamas and daddies. Don't stress if your little one has a meltdown or dances in the aisle, do what you have to and just have fun. The beauty of a children's theater is that we all understand!
