Glad you were able to go to a movie that you really ended up liking. it sounds as if the cartoon movie that you and your grandpa were going to attend being sold out was a blessing in disguise! Glad that you and your grandpa enjoyed West Side Story! Come to think if it, West Side Story is my all time favorite movie, hands down!
