All About Your Child

Once you start, you just may not be able to stop. Hmmm….

The boys’ next ‘target’ is “UP”! My boys saw the trailer of “Up“ when they went for their first trip to the cinema on Tuesday.

Seriously, I love it!!! The colourful balloons, the funny conversations and the unexpected hiccups, like losing the ‘GPS’ gadget thingy *laugh*…. it just grabs your attention like no other. Amazing!
More importantly, we are huge Pixar fans, ever since “Cars”, the animation which my boys had watched over 400 times! No joke!

When the trailer was on, my boys were either parroting what Carl and Russell said or giggling away. Even after watching that trailer on the big screen many hours later, they still remember snippets of it. You can say they have great memories or you can say Pixar REALLY knows how to win the hearts of my boys. *wink*

Carl, the grumpy, yet kind hearted little old man matching up with the all enthusiastic and clumsy little Russell is just way too funny. Go catch it! *wink*

The ultimate regional Toon Creator Awards winner could even see his or her creation broadcast on Cartoon Network in November 2009. Whoo-hoo! So get those creative cells working!

Though my boys were ‘underage’, Keatkeat tried it out.
OMG!!!!!
It was so cool!
Completely awesome….
We were spoilt for choices when it come to the effects, sounds, motion, etc.

But seriously, it truly takes time and effort man! We took 30mins just to figure out the unlimited possibilities of combining this and that just for the first scene. But once we got the hang of it, we took less than 20mins to create the remaining 12 scenes!!! Easy Peasy.
Still its all fun!

For those of you who missed out my ‘Making it Official’ post, Keatkeat is known as Zac now. *wink* Have 38 seconds to spare? Watch his creation won’t you and leave a comment for him, so that I can relate to him?

So far 27 has viewed his creation. He is checking his number of viewers every now and then, seeing the number increases just makes him really happy.
