The Little Mermaid Movie Screening, Saturday 17^th June 2023, Majestic Cinema

90 members of King’s Lynn South District enjoyed a lovely afternoon at the Majestic Cinema, King’s Lynn watching The Little Mermaid.

Every so often, I believe this is the 3^rd time, Girlguiding links up with the Odeon Cinema for showings of a new film, unfortunately there is not an Odeon Cinema local to us, but a little while after the release of the film, we are able to privately hire one of the screens at the Majestic Cinema.

6 of the 8 Units in King’s Lynn South District joined in to watch the new version of the Little Mermaid, it was advertised as a PG, parents/guardians were advised to watch a trailer before allowing their daughter to attend.  This version of the film, had real people not cartoon characters, was very colourful, with songs from the original film, but was no more frightening than the original film.  Ursula was a larger than life character, nasty but not frightening.  Triton I thought was more frightening as a cartoon character.  Eric and Ariel were charming, and Ariel’s sisters were absolutely beautiful.

Everyone I spoke to really enjoyed it.  Loo breaks were quite frequent for the Rainbows, but it is not surprising when you see the size of their drink bottles!!!

A lovely time was had by all, and we look forward to the next time.
