The Yi-Gi-Oh movie experience

On the free wall at work there was a free movie pass to the Yu-Gi-Oh movie premeire. Surely I cannot pass this up. It was an interesting experience. Being in a dark movie theatre completely filled with kids. It was like grade school all over again. All the little voices and conversations… Ironically enough, one of the kids had the exact opposite thought of me, “There are SO many adults here.”

Some other fun quotes:

“I’ve been waiting soooo long for this movie.”

“I heard they have EVERY monster in it.”

Of course, these quotes are more fun when you imagine a kids hyped up on sweets and pure joy of Yu-Gi-Oh magic.

But there was a fun little story of sharing. Before the movie started, Disney Radio was there giving out free prizes. Kids with a special sticker underneath your seat would get a free prize–A Yi-Gi-Oh Duel Disk Launcher. One of the kids next to me won a prize.

Then they gave out prizes to whoever could answer Yi-Gi-Oh trivia. Which one would imagine that would be chaotic, but actually worked out fine. But the same group of kids also got a trivia question correct, and now had two sets of this Duel Disk Launcher.

A few minutes later, one of these kids (without any prompting from his mom) offered another kid (whom he did not know) his toy, “Excuse me. By any chance would you be interested in having this?” It was very nice to see. But it was also very nice the language he used. Those were his exact words.
