ComingSoon.net passes on the news that Disney and Pixar are not only going to produce Toy Story 3 in 3-D, they are going to re-issue the first two movies in 3-D as well.
The 3-D version of the original Toy Story (1995) will come out October 2, 2009 — one day after my birthday, and two days before the twins turn 3 years and 8 months old — and the 3-D version of Toy Story 2 (1999) will come out February 12, 2010, only eight days after the twins’ 4th birthday. And then, Toy Story 3 will come out June 18, 2010, when the twins are well into their fifth year.
Think I should take the kids? Think they’ll be old enough?
I really, really enjoyed taking them to see The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything last week, even though I don’t really know whether they “got” anything out of it. I don’t know how often I should do this — taking them to movies that might fly over their heads — but I’m looking forward to seeing another one with them sometime.
Meanwhile, in related news, last Sunday, I took the kids to a different church than usual, while my wife stayed home with the newborn, and when all the kids at church started watching Wallace & Gromit cartoons during the fellowship hour, my twins joined them — and a part of me was slightly miffed that it was other people’s kids and not me who was introducing my twins to those beloved characters, but another part of me liked the fact that the twins did seem interested in those films. That bodes well.
The twins actually demand to watch DVDs occasionally, now — so it’s too bad that the DVDs they hold up in the direction of the player tend to be all dinged and scratched and thus unplayable. (The DVDs in question are freebies that come with the diapers that we buy, so I don’t care what condition they’re in.) But once the videos are playing and the twins are sitting down, I still don’t see them react to the screen very much — the major exception in this regard being that 101 Dalmatians episode that I mentioned earlier. And of course, the twins don’t know enough English yet to really talk with us about the videos that they watch.
So I’m not entirely sure what’s going on in their minds, yet, when it comes to movies and such. But hopefully it won’t be too long before I get some sort of clue. In the meantime, I love the way my boy, in particular, starts hopping all over the room whenever the music starts playing over the VeggieTales end credits.
