Movies featuring inflatable "Moonbounces" & other party rentals.

For no other reason that I saw a "Moonbounce Rentals" sign today while driving, I was trying to think of movies that had outdoor backyard party-rental structures in them. For example, moonbounces, inflatable bounce castles and inflatable slides, ball pits, etc.

This serves no purpose other than to work your brain to think of movies which have these in scenes.

I'll start with the one that came to mind: Parenthood.

its interesting that you had to more or less kludge up a name for those things. There was a fairly heated debate at my office once about what they were called. Im from Detroit, and pretty much everyone from around here was in agreement that they were usually referred to as "Moonwalks". But this girl from Buffalo swore up and down that they were called "Mr. Bouncity-Bounce" which we thought was the most ridiculous thing possibly ever.

Oddly enough I went to the academy with a guy who had a side job setting those things up at parties on the weekend, AND he was from Buffalo, so I sent him an email. Apparently an industry term is "airbounce inflatable" and he also laughed at the Mr. Bouncity-Bounce thing and officially disowned the girl as a Buffalonian.

Parenthood was my 1st thought when I saw the thread topic

Was there one in Billy Madison?

The Armor of God (I think part 2) had a bouncy ball that Jackie Chan ran of a cliff in.

Good gravy, not another one of these threads. Perhaps it's time to consolidate them all into a "one and only"?

I always heard them called "inflatable bouncers".

I grew up in Ireland, where they're always called "Bouncy Castles".
