Hi all!

Thank you all again for voting to decide whether we keep the final Saturday in May as a standard support thread or a Watch party, and it seems most people either don't mind or would like there to be the consistent watch parties!

I would also like to acknowledge the feedback we received around the importance of focusing on consistency with support threads too, and we want to highlight that we are taking this on board and very much see that as a priority for us, alongside our commitment to boosting fun activities for all :)

We also saw feedback about picking things on more accessible platforms, so the ones this time can be accessed on BBC, iPlayer, Channel 4 etc :)

Without further ado, here are the options for our first watch party! If you aren't familiar with any of them, then maybe give the trailers a watch so you can make an educated decision! It will be betweeeeeen...

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    I think it might need to be Shrek JUST for Shannon to see it for the first time (and because it's winning the poll hehe, we shall see how it ends but Shrek is in the lead so far!)

    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    This was such a hard choice for me because:

    1. I love love Wallace and Gromit. Also Gromit knits which is such a mood for me 😂. Plus I find the episodes hilarious and well written. Nick Park is a genius!.

    2. Shrek is an absolute classic film and one of my favourite childhood movies. Plus my favourite band features on it too which is even a bonus. I find shrek relatable tbf lol.

    3. Mrs Harris Goes to Paris - While I have never seen this movie yet have heard of it. Its funny because my mum actually watched that and said it was very good and heartwarming.

    Overall, a hard choice but Shrek won me over 🤣
    Just a person who likes pop culture and films

    Haha @Amy22 , I love this!! I'm glad we chose some good options! Maybe we can store the others away for another Watch Party!

    Shrek seems to have taken the trophie for now!

    Okay gang, I was about to close this and announce Shrek as what we will be watching, but after consulting BBC iPlayer they have cruelly decided to remove it now, so it would only be available on Netflix.

    In the spirit of watching things which are accessible to everyone - we will go ahead with the second most popular option: Wallace and Gromit!

    SO, we will start with The Wrong Trousers (30mins): https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08nfjwt/wallace-gromit-the-wrong-trousers

    Before moving onto Vengeance Most Fowl (1hour 15mins):

    its unfortunate that it got removed on bbc iplayer because i was watching shrek on netflix just now and its really good. hopefully wallace and gromit will be just as good. dont know if ill join though since im going to be at the odeon on the 31st of may.
