These Movies, You See, They Do A Body Good

You know, it's just so great on Thanksgiving to rush to the theater to catch the first showing of the latest flick to come out.

And don't we all remember those days, with fondness.

But there is just something! About your own house! And your own couch! And your own john! That makes watching a video at home so much better.

So we checked out Meet the Robinsons, which was a fine movie to digest our Thanksgiving dinner to.

On one end of the couch is the Campers:

And on the other is the Zig:

And not pictured, but sandwiched in between, with drool coming out her mouth, was the Sleeping Ma.

It was a good movie, really. What I caught of it, anyway. Which I'm guessing was the last half hour. But it was a good half hour! And so dreadfully tear-jerking, with the "orphan" theme and "adoption" theme running throughout the story. I wasn't quite prepared for that, especially this day as we think back to a tiny little girl, alone in her bed at the orphanage. And now this Thanksgiving, our Sister Susie has a family to call her own.

Pretty crazy. Pretty thankful. Pretty good.

Who knew a movie could be so refreshing, both to the body and the soul.
