Many parents, especially those with children under 12, have not experienced solo trips to the cinema in over a decade. Family cinema outings are often driven by necessity, such as rainy days, and involve extensive preparation, including snacks and supplies. The cost of these trips can be high, sometimes reaching €57 before the film starts. Inside the theater, children frequently ask about the film's start time and need bathroom breaks, creating a chaotic environment. However, moments of genuine joy can emerge, as seen during a screening of A Minecraft Movie, where a group of boys expressed their enthusiasm through applause and cheers. This shared joy among children, regardless of gender, highlights the cultural significance of Minecraft in their lives. The experience emphasizes that cinema can serve as a valuable shared time, fostering connections and creativity, even if adults may not fully understand the content.
