Disney Pixar's new Movie "Brave"

Disney has just release a trailer for their new movie, "Brave" - due out in theatres on June 22!  I love this girl's attitude (and unwieldy hair, and cool Scottish accent), and can't wait to see this film.

Disney's "Secret World of Arrietty" - Activity Coloring Sheets & Clips

Do you remember reading "The Borrowers" when you were a kid?  I do, vaguely (aaahh, so many moons ago) and remember loving it!

Since it is the basis for the story of Disney's new movie  "Secret World of Arrietty", it has me very intrigued to see the new animated film.  It will be released in theatre's next weekend on February 17th. 

 

If' you're interested in a sneak peak and some activity and coloring sheets for your kids - here are some goodies rounded up in one place!  Check out these clips and the download...

Finding Nemo in 3D

My family's favorite "Finding Nemo" scene to quote from:

"One of my tentacles is longer than the others..."
"I'm H2O intolerant."
"I'M OBNOXIOUS!"


FINDING NEMO returns to theatres for the first time in 3D September 14th, 2012!

Tangled Ever After - Another new clip!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST returns to theatres for the first time in 3D TODAY - January 13th!  (Note:  will also be shown in 2D for those with little ones who can't do glasses for an entire movie!)

In conjunction with this movie event, Rapunzel and our other favorite characters will be featured in a new short film to be shown before the movie ~ Tangled Ever After!  I don't know about you, but this is almost reason enough for me to head to the theater that week...

February 17: THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY  

Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world to be discovered, where the smallest may stand tallest of all.  From the legendary Studio Ghibli (“Spirited Away,” “Ponyo”) comes “The Secret World of Arrietty,” an animated adventure based on Mary Norton’s acclaimed children’s book series “The Borrowers.”

"Tale as old as time ..."  Be that as it may, of all the wonderful Disney Princesses to chose from - I've always had a special place in my heart for the brunette bookworm, Belle! (And I know my Disney-loving brunette sisters hear me when I say that...)

Disney Wordless Wednesday

This week's theme:  The Muppets - In the Parks and At Home!

The Rainbow Connection ... Where It All Began

For me, love of the Muppets goes back to the 70s, when I used to listen to my favorite LP record over and over again in my bedroom.  Did you have a copy?

Muppets Drop In To SNL

If you are of the Muppets Generation, as am I, you are likely planning on catching the premiere of the new "Muppet Movie" this weekend.  Did you know that the list of Jason Segal's talents (as described on Wikipedia) include "puppeteer"?  I had no idea this actor was so multi-faceted.  I also read that he has co-written and helped produced the upcoming Disney released film, and played a large role in pushing to even have it made.  Go Jason!  I think I'm a new fan.  Cause let's face it people:  Anyone who loves the Muppets, is a good person to love.

This was way past my bedtime (it's life in the parenting fast lane around our household), but here are a couple of highlights from Jason's stint hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live last weekend. 

A little help with the opening monolog.
