I would hope by now they had the script locked down pretty well, so the early release shouldn't effect that overly. <br /><br />I'll no doubt take Will to see it, he loves the Penguins. though not quite as much as he loves Pokemon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926132626729863576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883899214355622864.post-20042894064577979512014-05-21T20:35:27.603+10:002014-05-21T20:35:27.603+10:00I think the parents are maybe more of an issue - &...I think the parents are maybe more of an issue - "no I'm not paying all that money for you watch something you can see at home."Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277173223422519172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883899214355622864.post-11529279716541730012014-05-21T18:31:10.312+10:002014-05-21T18:31:10.312+10:00Having it already established as a kids' TV sh...Having it already established as a kids' TV show may also work in their favour. There is a *huge* (and well-exploited) tendency for kids to identify and gravitate towards the already-known characters/images. It's especially strong with those kids who haven't achieved reading fluency yet, because their visual perception/recognition is extremely sharp but it's almost entirely image-based, there's no textual understanding to get in the way. So they *will* spot an ad on the side of a bus from 300 m through traffic in the rear view mirror and start talking about it. Watching a couple of small kids try to pick out a DVD they'd like to watch at the local store, and how they make their choices, has been frequently educational.Tiki Swainhttp://agritapestry.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
