Doo-who?

When I picked up the girls from their mother's, they were begging to go to the park as it was decent out. I took them, though for only a bit as sunset was less than an hour off.

After the park, we went to a movie, though not without conflict. It was a choice between Doogal and Eight Below, and of course the girls disagreed on which to see. A fair-and-square rock/paper/scissors match earned victory and gloating rights for Shelby, who wanted to see Doogal.

I must say, what a strange flick. Not bad, but not quite good. Sorta funny (though behind-the-scenes clips in the closing credits account for most of the humor). Strangely overly laden with references for the non-kids in the room. While typically the older-kid-targeted movies have a few adult-friendly clichés to keep the adults from falling asleep, this movie was crazily overloaded with them. There were whole sections of dialogue that I'm pretty sure the kids could not understand. And I didn't feel like it was older-kid-targeted either (adding to the disparity), judging by Darby's apparent boredom during the movie, while Shelby stayed reasonably entertained.

I should have overruled Shelby on this one.
