Guest Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 After seeing the advert for The Gruffalo on Christmas Day, I was wondering if anyone has planned to watch it, even if there own children are all grown up Quote
Cait Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Oh for sure - absolutely! Children now aged 25 and 22 are planning to watch it too!! Quote
JacquieL Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 I can't wait to see it, but will watch it on iplayer as Xmas day will be a non-TV day here as we will be so busy enjoying ourselves. Quote
Panders Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Wouldn 't miss it for the world. We dramatised the Gruffalo as our end of term show in July - might pick up some hints for another time!! Quote
katekit Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 We used this story a lot last half term and did a simple display so I am hoping our children from Nursery will be watching too - I hope they join in with the repeated phrases - won't their parents be impressed and how excited will the children be to see someone they 'know'! And yes me and my family will be watching too! Quote
Guest Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I've bought all the little folk who we had to get gifts for a Gruffalo floor jigsaw long before I knew about the new film. I'm so chuffed as it will now be relevant and their adults who may not have known the Gruffalo will recognise it. Theres a new rhyming game due out in February so that maybe for Easter instead of eggs Roll on the film!!! gruffalo card game Quote
Sue R Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I have already booked my slot!! No one else in the family know it - children too old and husband refuses to listen to my 'recitations' - so they're in for a treat!! Sue Cards look good. Quote
Marion Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 My 20 year old daughter just asked if we are going to watch Quote
beth1 Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I am hoping to watch it but since it clashes with Happy Feet on the other side. I may just have to V plus it! lol Beth Quote
Guest Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I will be doing the v plus thing too Beth!!!Then I can save it for a quiet day x Quote
Guest Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 i have set it to record, thanks for the reminder Quote
Guest Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Well that didn't disappoint!!! 5 stars ***** Edited December 25, 2009 by Guest Quote
beth1 Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 I ended up watching it! Very funny because I kept saying some of the words before they were said. I think my family were impressed that I knew some of the words! lol Beth Quote
Guest Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 have it sky+ to watch later this evening Quote
emmajess Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 We watched it all together - my parents, my granny, my husband and me, our 5 year old and 3 year old, my sister, her husband and their 3 year old - and we've all read it so much we all knew it off by heart! The Gruffalo had a very different voice to the one I use when I'm reading it - he cam across as quite suave and clever, whereas I make him really silly (so that he's not too scary!) It turns out that my sister uses exactly the same voice when she reads it! It was really great. Wish we'd recorded it. Duh... Quote
Panders Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Emma you can watch it again on iplayer if you have broadband - maybe you could record it from that Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 And its on BBC3 at 7 o'clock this evening if you have Freeview. Maz Quote
