More Notre Dame Kid's Movie Festival

Last night Zoe. Pere and I went to an outdoor showing of Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Wererabbit. It was downtown at the College Football Hall of Fame, which is next door to The Chocolate Cafe. We got candy and ice cream.

Zoe saw two friends, one from Temple and one from the neighborhood. She ran around the Gridiron for about 30 minutes playing tag.



We love Wallace and Gromit. I loved the atmosphere of watching it outdoors, people on blankets, under blankets, on lawn chairs, laughing out loud and sharing a wonderful community event. I am glad we went.



Today was our last day with the festival, We went to see the Miracle Worker and we sat in the same theatre( they were in the row just in front of us) with Sean Astin, aka Samwise Gamgee, his wife and three daughters. We really enjoyed the movie. Zoe highly recommends it.

After the movie Sean did a Q & A. Zoe asked him how old his mother was when she starred in The Miracle Worker. She was 12 when she started on Broadway and 13 or 14 when she did the film. I asked him how she prepared for playing a deaf and blind characters. I did have a bit of a geek out moment talking to him. eeeeeee!



The last movie was Sita Sings The Blues. It was pretty funny and also pretty. We had a good discussion about sexism afterwards over a dinner of Indiana food.
