You have till 27th June to catch it!
The good papa had a leave day to claim, so we went to the Singapore Science Centre for the Pixar exhibition ! 6 tickets (with help from the SAFRA card) cost us a discounted $106. Ouchie. But I think it was quite worth it because it included the Science Centre proper as well as a screening of "Up" in 3D!
Other than a few other guests, we mostly had the whole place to ourselves that morning screening. :)
It was the children's first experience in a "movie theatre" and their first 3D movie. We don't go to cinemas.
There was no photography allowed in the exhibition but I'd say it is good for the kids because it is very accessible to them, since it's all about their favourite and familiar Pixar movies, and their well loved characters. There were a lot of story board panels and sketches by the artists. All about behind the scenes, how Pixar movies are made. We learned a lot.
Not to spoil the surprise but the best part of the exhibition has got to be the ZOETROPE!!! We were so enchanted by it we all burst out laughing with glee! As it describes on the website that it is "truly a magical feast for the eyes" and indeed it was!!
The kids (and adults) learned that it takes a whole team of people (professionals) to pool all their talents together into one movie. What a lot of work is put in!!! Everything has to be created for the screen: the lamps, chairs, forks. Every twitch on the character's faces had to be moved by the animator. Down to the last digit of the little finger. Phew.
Patience and hard work. Tons of patience and tons of hard work. Phew.
My little no. 4 is even more inspired to draw now! ;) Here's some of his latest drawings (he's 4 yrs old.)
His peacock. The brothers and sister reported that he spent a long time on this piece. ;)
His Dragon. (Looks like Tweety Bird from hell.) Inspired from How to Train Your... oops! This is a Pixar post! :p He was too afraid to watch most of it anyway. I can't find his two headed ones. I don't really approve of that show. It being all medieval and dark looking.
I'm so glad that Pixar has nice wholesome stuff that has some depth to it.
And my favourite from today! Banana Boat! :D
He just loves drawing at the moment and we just provide him free flow of rough paper to draw to his little heart's content.
