Elsa and Anna are back and taking part in all new adventures in the highly anticipated Frozen 2! And the movie is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download, just in time for family fun before spring arrives!
My middle son is a big fan of Frozen and is even currently in the midst of preparing to perform in a Frozen Jr. musical at his school. So when I got the chance to review Frozen 2, he couldn’t wait to check it out. Here’s a brief synopsis:
When my oldest son was just a toddler, he fell in love with the spunky and speed-driven Lightning McQueen when Disney’s Cars hit theatres. A few years later, his little brother learned about Lighting and his friends in Cars 2. (And he still says Mater is his favourite!)
Now, more than ten years after the first movie was released, Lightning McQueen is back to delight kids once again in Cars 3, now available on Blu-ray and DVD! Since I have a little one that will soon be watching cartoons with his big brothers, I can’t wait to see what my third child thinks of the movie we received to review. Here’s a brief synopsis:
Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician with her own plan to win, inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage! [Read more…]
My five nieces vary in age quite a bit. The oldest is ten and the youngest is only one year old. They have lots of different interests and lots of different talents. But all of them, at one time or another, absolutely loved My Little Pony. The colourful, friendly talking horses are ones I adored myself as a child and watching my nieces shows me that not much has changed since my own childhood days.
Now, the ponies are coming to the big screen to delight young and old fans alike. Wondering just what to expect from My Little Pony: The Movie? Check out the trailer to help get your little ones revved up for the big debut!
I’m a sucker for re-watching the classic Disney movies I loved as a child but with two boys in the house, I’ve found that most of my favourite fairy tales about princesses don’t go over so well with them. So, I’m always excited when a Disney classic that has a more boy-friendly story is remastered and introduced to the children of today. That’s why I was ready for family movie night as soon as I heard that Disney’s Pinocchio: The Signature Collection had just been released on Blu-ray and DVD! Here’s a brief synopsis:
Now a part of the celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection, the timeless story of Pinocchio inspires a new generation with its masterful animation, award-winning music, unforgettable characters and new behind-the-scenes bonus extras! With his faithful friend, Jiminy Cricket by his side, Pinocchio embarks on fantastic adventures that test his bravery, loyalty and honesty until he triumphs in his quest for his heart’s desire: to become a real boy.
My fiancé and I love taking our boys to the movies every month or so as a treat, and this year there have been plenty of movies to choose from! Some are ones we know we’ll enjoy as much as the kids. Others we watch only because Zackary and Benjamin want to see them so badly. And still others are movies that we know nothing about…but that end up surprising us with how entertaining they are! This year, Zootopia was one of those movies. Jeremy and I weren’t sure what to expect, but we enjoyed it every bit as much as the boys did. So when I got the chance to review the Blu-ray/DVD release of the film, I was thrilled. Here’s a brief synopsis:
From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes a comedy-adventure set in the modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia. Determined to prove herself, Officer Judy Hopps, the first bunny on Zootopia’s police force, jumps at the chance to crack her first case – even if it means partnering with scam-artist fox Nick Wilde to solve the mystery. Bring home this hilarious adventure full of action, heart and tons of bonus extras that take you deeper into the world of Zootopia. It’s big fun for all shapes and species!
While Zootopia is very entertaining to watch, what I love about it even more is the way it deals with very current themes of prejudice towards others and the damage that a culture of fear can create in our society. The premise of carnivores losing control of themselves was something that divided the city of Zootopia in a very destructive way. It was through support and acceptance of one another, and through two unlikely heroes becoming partners, that the city was able to thrive and become the best that it could be. [Read more…]
