@SomeMichGuy Maybe but there was 4 years between me and my brother and the cinema costs money. I watched the kid stuff growing up and then the action stuff in my teens.

@Jacko1971 edit. I said there was (were) 4 years between us. Technically there still is.

@clairedelune I had turned seven a few weeks before it's 1977 release, it wasn't called A New Hope until after Jedi was released in 1983, before then it was just plain Star Wars.

@Picklebobble2 I saw that. It must have been a re run. During the 70s I saw several Disney films. One of My Dinosaurs Is Missing stands out because I went to the toilet in the middle of it.

@Jacko1971 Back when Disney movies were a bit out there but fun !
To this day if I could get a copy of 'Now you see him, now you don't' an early Kurt Russell movie, I'm sure I'd enjoy it just the same

@Poppies My parents once took me to The King and I. I crawled under the seat in the theater and went to sleep!

@DrWatson Gum, candy, soda, popcorn! Sounds like a delightful place to sleep! 😄

@Poppies Apparently I gave the accommodations (as opposed to the movie) a 5 star rating!

@Lostpoet did you watch the film?

@Jacko1971 Yeah, I was the perfect age for it. I think Jarasic Park was the first indoor theater I saw a movie in.

@Jacko1971 It's great you know it! 😊👍

@SomeMichGuy I believe the cameras were set off by a sequence of trip wires.

@Jacko1971 Yeah it was a "movie" constructed of a series of photos, exactly like those used for a zoetrope (the name used by Francis Ford Coppola for his studios).

The wikipedia article says former Sen. Stanford spent around $50k on a series of Muybridge's experiments with early movies...interesting.

@SW-User ive never seen that.

@eyeno which one?

@Jacko1971 though I tried can't recall the episode.., i was about six years old. But I do remember walking to the theater with my cousin, brother and another.

@uncalled4 Didn't you like the dancing hippos?

@uncalled4 It's bizarre. Not a Disney film that you hear about a lot.

@Jacko1971 In a word? Nope.
