Fly Me To The Moon Movie Premiere!

We finally got invited to another World Premiere and, though I am a little under the weather, I didn't want us to miss out. So we headed to the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood to see Fly Me To The Moon, first first animated movie made for 3D.

Before the movie started, we were able to do a little stargazing. Stars of the movie like Tim Curry and Adrienne Barbeau arrived and that was pretty cool. Then they said the movie was going to start so we started shuffling in. They handed us the 3D glasses and told us to get ready for the new technology. How exciting! Well the movie was fantastic! It wasn't just blue or red but in FULL COLOR! John said it was easy to forget it was animated because you are just so pulled into the story so quickly. Sean loved it and was riveted to his seat the entire time. Jack not so much. About two-thirds into it, he got squirmy so I had to take him to the lobby to let him run around. He started playing with this other kid there, who turned out to be Kristy Swanson's kid Magnus. She was there with her fiance Lloyd Eisler. She asked me how old Jack was and we talked a bit like regular moms. I didn't want to ask her for a photo because I know some people have a fit about their kids being in pictures. So I pretended I didn't know who she was and she pretended not to notice I was a dork.

After the movie ended, they transformed the lobby into a reception area with snacks and drinks and a chance for the people in the movie to socialize. This is when we got to meet Nicolette Sheridan and Buzz Aldrin!Ha ha, look at Jack's face in this picture! He's not too impressed.

With Buzz Aldrin!!!Here is Sean with Buzz Aldrin. He's not too impressed either, he was coming off his sugar rush! But we did tell him he got to meet the Original Buzz Lightyear. He might get it in a few years.

But John and I were both very impressed with meeting Buzz. To shake the hand of one of the few people who have walked on the face of the moon? There are stars and then there are stars!!!
