Cuddles, chocolates and a good film

The weather outside is rather cold, wet and windy. Not wanting to venture too far, I decided that after dinner I wanted nothing more than to snuggle up with my girls and watch a film. TalkTalk big October Blockbuster is Epic and is available to TalkTalk customers from the 7th October. I selected from the box office and sat down with the girls to watch

Epic is an animated adventure comedy from the makers of Ice Age. I do love Ice Age and so was very keen to watch the film. Epic stars Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson, Amanda Seyfried, Christoph Waltz, Pitbull, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler and is directed by Chris Wedge. As I had not heard of the film before I watched a preview on Youtube before hand just to check the suitability for the girls.

We all settled down to watch the film

My youngest daughter has rather a short attention span when it comes to the TV, she is not too bothered and so once all the chocolate had gone she happily wandered off to play whilst I sat on the sofa with my eldest. My eldest at 3 rather enjoyed the film. I don't think she got all the underlying messages of good Vs Evil etc, but the film did capture her imagination. She loved the tiny leaf people flying on the birds and really loved the talking slugs and snails. To be honest they really made me laugh too.

The film itself is beautifully animated and a very easy to follow story line. My eldest and I enjoyed it and it was just what was needed to unwind before bed on this miserable Autumn evening. I could not think of a better way to spend my evening.
