What MOVIE(s) have you been....seeing? watching?

Also brought the family to see this on Saturday, and we all loved it. The 3 year-old didn't understand everything (why's the grandma blue?), but wanted to go back and see it on Sunday as we were listening to the songs on Youtube. The 6 year-old spotted the Sven cameo right away and gleefully pointed it out.
Just like Barnes, I got misty eyed in a few spots, I don't know what's happening to me.
For some silly reason, the film is called Vaiana - Legend from the edge of the world in France (still Moana in Québec). Right now, the French soundtrack is nowhere to be found, whether physical or digital, while the one from France will only be released on Friday (maybe the film was released later over there?). For Frozen there was a Québec version of the soundtrack; if there isn't one for Moana we'll just buy the songs in English.

oh my, "why's the grandma blue?" yikes, that's a pretty big question for a 3-year old. how did you answer it?? "by the way, your grandmas are both going to be blue pretty soon"
how about Jemaine Clement as the turtle?! That was so good (i really need to write the review so we can talk about it in that thread instead).
So you AND Barnes got misty eyed and aren't able to explain it? I'm SO GLAD you said that cuz twice in the movie, the tears came down for no reason at all and i panicked a bit that night thinking my mental health might be on the rocks cuz of an upcoming custody trial. i was thinking it was affecting me in weird ways like this so i was complaining about it to the g/f. But if you guys both cried too, then it's totally the movie and i'm not falling apart (or not as much as I was worried i was). ok whew.

Hah, she was sitting with her Mom, and the middle of the movie wasn't quite the place for conversation. She's seen "death" on screen (in Narnia for instance), and knows that our cats will die at some point when she'll be bigger, but when her Mom pointed out that real people also die, her stricken expression and tearful look made her drop that line of thought for now.
BTW, it's a crab, not a turtle!

But seriously, it is difficult and draining, but also very insightful about family, addiction and forgiveness (and lack thereof). There's more I'd like to say, but don't want to spoil anything.
The basic premise is that a woman who has some unknown issues with her extended family is invited to Thanksgiving, and hilarity ensues. No, not really... quite the opposite. And that could normally be considered a spoiler except that the very first shot of the film, showing Krisha just staring at the camera for a good little while, should tell you a lot about what to expect. Chilling.
Anybody else see this? If not, be ready to chase it with the Rudolph special or something otherwise breezy, but by all means, give it a spin.

This coming week the theatre by my house is doing a miyazaki week, I'm getting a week pass so I can see all four (Castle in the Sky, Ponyo, Moving Castle, Delivery Service) because I've never seen any of them. looking forward to that.

I think Kiki's might be in my top 5 Miyazaki. None of the others there.

Ponyo, on the other hand, is the "bad" MIyazaki film. He made it toward the end of his first retirement and you can tell that he just really didn't give a shit about it. And I bet he would be the first to tell you that he didn't.
Howl's is somewhat underrated- it's a very strange, sometimes awkward film but it's also rich with magic and it touches a lot of the key Miyazaki ideas.
Castle in the Sky is really great, it's actually my son's favorite of them all. Lots of fun in that one, much more of an adventure story than the others.

I've only seen a handful (Mononoké multiple times, Spirited, Howl's and Porco Rosso) and after a quick check on Amazon, the BRs aren't so expensive as I remember these movies to be; my girls would probably enjoy them. My GF warned me away from Grave of the Fireflies though - she's still mad at me 12+ years later that I made her watch that (recommended by a friend!).
