The Pirates! Band of Misfits is brought to us by Aardman Animations, the same production studio that produced the Wallace & Gromit movies my kids enjoy. We watched their newest production from the back of our car—we decided late in the day to make the forty-five minute drive to the nearest drive-in theater. The two-screen outdoor theater is a real treasure, and fortunately for us, as it turned out, the other screen was showing the ever-popular Avengers movie, and so we had our pick of spots even though we got to the drive-in just before the movie started.
This was Reed’s first drive-in experience in which he was actively watching the movie and snacking on cotton candy. In past years, we made the trip so that he’d fall asleep on the drive out there, and then stay asleep throughout the movie and on the trip back so that Beni and I could watch new releases with Olivia. And while managing a three-year-old on a sugar high who’s staying up past his bedtime is as difficult as capturing the coveted Pirate of the Year award, the fact that it was accomplished with minimal disruptions means that there will likely be sequels for us this summer.
