RE: Cine Kids - Do You Remember The First Time You Went To The Cinema?
Dumbo. The movie was originally released in '41 but my parents took me in '55. I remember the cavernous theater and the size of the characters on the screen. It was a huge deal for me...
And let the record show that I suffered about a 3 day meltdown after the movie. Mom says I sat on my stool and cried softly until Wednesday after a Sunday show. Also let the record show that the theater was a bit over 100 miles from home, a really major undertaking.

Awww... That movie is the sweetest ever 🐘 Dumbo the cute elephant.
Sad and beautiful.
Oh I can imagine, that must have been a big deal indeed. I can also recall that the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were extremely big haha.
Oh that's sad about the meltdown but you know, I see this with my kid too, long trips and many first impressions or new triggers from whatever that's there cause change in behavior here as well. 100 miles from home in your case is a big deal!
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your personal story @bigtom13!

I don't remember any of the circumstances of the trip. It would have been in a '53 Ford Two door that my Dad modified for child hauling :) Made the backseat into a bed. It would have taken several hours with stops required for children needs. I was 4 my brother less than 1.
About the meltdown: I've never watched the movie again, though I've been tempted a time or two. Likewise with Bambi and Old Yeller. I seem to assume trauma and carry it with me.
