Unfortunately due to a technical glitch it was clear that the movie that had started playing was anything but the cartoon romp people were expecting as a bloodied corpse was hurled at the camera within the first opening minutes.

"They started playing the movie and I thought - this doesn't look right," said mother Natasha Lewis. "Everybody just scrambled for the exits, all you could hear were children crying and screaming. Everyone was very upset." Cinema officials offered their sincerest apologies over the incident and handed out refunds and free tickets to those affected.
