Megamind is a family favorite. We often watch it when we have a family movie night. Seth decided to have a Megamind Birthday Party this year. We made a little paper giving the party details and rolled them up and put them in a balloon with Megamind's face drawn on with a Sharpie. The kids Seth invited had to pop the balloon to find the note.
I made this cake. It was very blue. I didn't leave enough time for it to dry, so the Megamind figure kept falling over and had to be propped up.
When the guests arrived, they decorated their own capes, making a Black Mamba, like in the movie. The boys mostly wrote things about how awesome they were on their capes.
Will, Mason, Seth, Cole, Kade, Cayson, Kaden
Camryn & Zack in their capes with their dehydration guns (that did not work)
The boys were given little pellets (animals that had been shot with dehydration guns) to put in water. As they soaked in the water, they took the shape of bugs and animals.
We headed back inside were the boys had a Megamind balloon tied to their ankle. They had to try to pop each others balloons and the last balloon remaining was the true Megamind and winner of the game. It got down to Mason and Zack. We helped Mason a little by holding Zack, so him being older wouldn't be too big of an advantage. Mason won!
Then the boys played Pin the Minion in the glass sphere. Zack, Cayson, and Cole all got their Minions in the sphere.
We were ready for dinner - Blue Mac & Cheese Pizza with blue Jello Jigglers. It was so gross, but everyone but Camryn and AJ loved it.
Seth opened his presents, getting great gifts, especially fun crafts to do.
We sang "Happy Birthday" and Seth blew out the candles, after some of the fondant started burning!
A few of the families came to watch the movie projected in our front yard and have cake & ice cream.
The party was "Mega" fun!
Oh, this is so cool! Megamind is one of my absolute favorite animated films, and you did such a fantastic job with this Megamind-themed party! I especially love the cake and balloons. I assume you drew the faces on the balloons and the drawing on the pin the Minion in the glass sphere poster in addition to making the cake - you're a great artist! I know this blog post is old now, lol, but I happened to come across it in a Google search for Megamind cake ideas and felt the need to tell you how awesome I think it is. :)
