SMALLFOOT ATLANTA SCREENING + MOVIE REVIEW Thursday 20 September, 2018
Jordan’s eyes closed and has no clue she is about to see SmallFoot
Another movie screening and I got to bring my favorite little niece with me to see the pre-screening in Atlanta for Smallfoot. She really wanted to see this movie so her mother and I surprised her! We blindfolded her from the ride to the theater up until this moment to surprise her that she will be one of the first kids to see Smallfoot before it is in theaters.
She was extremely surprised and happy! Check out the trailer below to see what Smallfoot is about!
TRAILER
Synopsis: An animated adventure for all ages, with original music and an all-star cast, “Smallfoot” turns the Bigfoot legend upside down when a bright young Yeti finds something he thought didn’t exist—a human. News of this “smallfoot” throws the simple Yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village, in an all new story about friendship, courage and the joy of discovery.
My thoughts: I thought it was a really cute movie with a powerful message. Before I get into the story of the film, I want to say how much I love the diversity of the voices of the characters. We have Channing Tatum, Zendaya, Lebron James, Common, Gina Rodriguez, Yaraa Shahidi and even Danny Devito! The cast made my heart happy!
The plot of the movie is about how human and even animals (in this case mythical animals) misunderstand each other which case confusion. When people don’t know something they make assumes, they have a lot of fear and even make up stories because they do not understand or scared. Its also a lesson on maybe things that seems to be history or written in stone could be fabrications, or old theories that may be outdated.
I thought it was really cute how both humans (Smallfoots) and Yetis (Bigfoot-like creatures) were curious about each other for years and have always wanted to cross each others paths but because of myths, fears and theories they have stayed away. They finally connect and from there is the goal to come together or will old ways keep things just a myth. I loved it because it was a good message for kids and some adults who never learned about not being closed minded! We all should have more of an open mind to things before we act in fear.
Im such a big kid! Jordan & I after the screening with our new Migo/Smallfoot bags!

This should be a great movie for family with small children. Both the adults and children can enjoy the fun and at the same time received powerful message from the movie.
I think this movie is going to be so adorable! It also helps that Channing Tatum is voicing the main character and Mr. Tatum is definitely one of my faves!
I didn’t hear about this movie until now. It does remind me a bit of Monsters Inc, the way the characters are drawn. Great you got to see the movie before everyone else.
Wowww, this is so exciting! I see lots of big names in this movie, like Channing Tatum, Zendaya, and even James Corden! I really can’t wait to see this movie when it’s coming! Thank you for sharing this, the movie screening looks really fun!
What a great cast!! I saw Crazy Rich Asians a few days ago and they showed the trailer for the movie. Looks really cute. I bet your little one was so excited!
RJ and I loved SMALLFOOT! He asks me to put it on all the time he doesn’t get that it’s not available at home yet lol. We may have to take another trip to the theatre to see it again. I loved the messages and that it was a great movie for kids and adults alike.
That’s great that you were able to take your niece to see this movie. How you managed to get her inside without her knowing which movie she was going to see must have taken a lot of skill!
That little girls face, looking at the check for the Ludacris Foundation, says is all. She is the happiest, I wonder if she was seriously thinking that’s the biggest check I’ve seen as if they were going to take it into the bank just like that and cash it.
The family and I did a screening here in the DC area last week. We enjoy the movie so much. The kids are already asking to get it on DVD when it comes out.
That’s so great that you got to take your niece to experience the movie before everyone else! It looks like yall had a good time, and the movie looks worth checking out!
We are definitely going. We saw the trailer when we went to Teen Titans Go to the Movies, and we were instantly on board.
We are SO going. All of us are so excited to see this. It’s a super cute take on the old yeti mystery.
