Taking LO to a movie

I know this has been discussed before.. but have you taken your toddler to a movie yet? I was thinking Holly might like to see Cars 2. She's sat through several full length movies at home (Finding Nemo, The Little Mermaid, Tangled), but we haven't taken her to a theater. Think she's too young?
The during the day free/cheap movie deals that some theaters offer wouldn't be an option for us, since I work full time. So it would have to be a weekend time, probably a matinee. I figure it's a kids movie, so it's not like anyone should be outraged if my child decides to start being fussy (at which point we'd leave), right?
If you've taken your LO, how'd they do?

Re: Taking LO to a movie
If you go, let me know how the movie is and how she does
We would love to take Ben because he is completely obsessed with Cars but honestly I am a little concerned about some of the stuff I have seen in the trailers he insists on watching on youtube.
Maddie has gone to three movies now (Tangled, Barnyard and Charlotte's Web) and she has done great in all of them! We talk about being quiet on the way there, and once the movie starts she knows she is allowed to sit in her seat or in my lap, that's it. She sometimes asks questions about the movie, but the movies are generally so loud that it doesn't matter.
As long as she isn't furiously kicking the seat in front of her and screaming that she wants to go home (like the little boy sitting behind us in Charlotte's Web- his mom so kindly decided NOT to take him out), I think she'll be fine. I think Holly is definitely mature enough to do it. Snacks help!
My DS is a bit older (3) but we took him to see Rio a few months ago and he did awesome. He did talk a little and point things out to me but nothing that would have been bothersome to any other listeners. We're headed to see Cars 2 this weekend as well and can't wait! Oh and popcorn is key. A big huge tub of it.
