This is the second time where AD watched a movie with us.  At first, he still didn’t want to go with us because he was busy playing but then, he realized that he will be staying at home while we go out.  He quickly ran up to us and agreed to go, forgetting why, as long as he goes out of the house.  That is all that matters to him.

As we drove to SM Megamall, we have prepped him once again on what to expect.  He was very quiet while listening to us.  We would wait for his reply to know if he understands what we just told him.  If nothing was heard from him, we explain the situation to him once again. But he said, YES at once!

Off we went to the cinema to watch…

I didn’t know what to expect (that was careless of me) but then, there were soooo many kids so I guess, it was alright.

This is Bubuy, star of the movie DAYO.

And Ana, the Manananggirl.

Dayo is the story of an 11-year old boy named Bubuy who tries to save his grandparents who were forcibly taken to Elementalia. Elementalia is a mystical place, where unearthly plants and creatures reside — particularly characters from Philippine mythology.

I liked the movie because the animation was great and story was nicely written (can relate to some scenes too!).  There was also a scene that I got teary-eyed (again?!  yep, that’s how sensitive I am.  Feel na feel ko ang movie! hahaha).  I was also on guard because there are scenes where AD was still uncomfortable where there would be fighting or any violent scenes.  He doesn’t like those.  What I do is just to hold his hand and let him feel that I am there beside him.  In the end, he finished the complete movie.  Hurray!

There were also scenes where I had to explain to him that shouldn’t be done because it was bad.  I just hope he understands it though while he is engrossedly watching the movie.  This is one of the reason why I’m hesitant to also let him watch movies/ cartoons frequently because at his age, he is exploring and very curious and always receiving information not knowing if it is right or wrong.  That’s why as much as I can, I have to explain things to him over and over again like a broken record.  I just hope it gets through AD.

Anyway, try to watch the movie on the 25th if you have nothing to do.  Once you get out of the moviehouse, you’ll be singing the theme song…..Lipad, lipad….kaya mong lumipad!
