Im a bit divided on this.
If the ticket price is dropped too, then it feels like were meeting somewhere close to half way.
This past weekend, then, I took my youngest to seePaw Patrol: Mission Big Screen.
Gone are puppets smoking fags and knocking back a bit of booze.
And theres a theme tune that children like to sing.
Im coming to that in a minute.
Two of the new episodes are long ones.
More importantly, the anklebiters did too.
Then, we got an advert as part of the main feature!
for a forthcoming episode.
The episode in question isQuest For The Crown, thats showing on Nick Jr this autumn.
And not in a cinema.
Its a bit rich, really.
But back to the digital content.
I got far more of a sense that somebody had put a shift in with that.
Its not great although you get bonus David Tennant on voicing duties but its decent enough.
The young actor duly does just that.
Weve got Peppa Pig to thank for all of this, I think.
Glue some episodes together and Peppa returned earlier this year to do the same thing and youre in business.
Lucrative business, by the looks of it.
Still: theres clearly a market for this.
Theres no hiding place for a bland sky background when somethings projected so sizeably.
Were thus left with the hodge-podge that we get.
