Are you guy kidding about having to take your kids so you can see these types of movies?

If your not kidding can I ask why you feel this way.. are you embarrassed to be seen alone (or kidless) watching a CG/Animated movie? Is it a macho thing? I'm just wondering as I have no kids and I've never been embarrassed to go to a animated movie alone or with friends.

Typically if my wife and I go for a movie on 'date night' - we won't see an animated film. That is something that we take in with the family. My comment was more tongue in cheek, but when I think about it - I really only catch that type of film with the kids. If I was dying to see it, I wouldn't mind going without them. For other films - like John Carter or Prometheus, etc - my wife just isn't into the genre (although she loved Tin Tin), so I have an old friend that will hit the movies with me. The good thing is that Pixar makes films that we can enjoy on different levels.

My only restriction is I generally won't go to a movie on my own. I don't have any problems with it, it's just something I like doing with other people.

A solo cinema experience had never appealed to me until about 5 years ago. The family really wanted to watch something that I didn't and another movie was showing that I was desperate to watch (I forget what exactly)

I ended up going into a different screening than them and meeting up outside. And I found I really enjoyed the solo experience. It's now something I try to do semi-regularly....at least one of the big titles a year that doesn't appeal to the family.... Last film I saw solo was Prometheus.

Maybe it's because I don't have alot of friends that share my taste in entertainment, but I constantly go to the movies alone. Also nobody I know has any interest in going to midnight premieres either, so I'm always at those by myself.

As far as going to see a Pixar flick by myself, that just wouldn't happen now that I have kids, but IMO it doesn't rank anywhere near as high on the "creep scale" as, say, going to a Chuck E Cheese without kids would.

As I said, nothing against it at all, there's just quite a few other things I would rather do on my own.

Just saw this tonight with the family. It was a lot of fun - and had some great moments. Not my favorite of the Pixar family - but a solid performer.
Some of the previews for other films don't look that great to me - like 'Planes' which is a pure Disney film - but set in the 'Cars' universe...
