Disney Junior Has Some
Valentine’s Fun Lined Up For You!
Doc McStuffins and Handy Manny
Add To The Sweetness of Valentine’s Day!
In our house Disney Junior is like part of the family. We all know Doc McStuffins 
and have watched Hanny Manny for years. So, when my family heard about
the new episodes that would debut around Valentine’s Day, we could not be any happier. Valentine’s Day is going to be a little be sweeter this year, thanks to Disney Junior.
The new “Doc McStuffins” episode titled “My Huggy Valentine,” 
Doc receives a stuffed Valentine’s Day heart named Val as a gift and Lambie
gets jealous because she thinks Doc likes her new toy better.  After diagnosing
Lambie with “splitheartitis,” Doc reassures her that no one could ever take her place.

listings for Disney Channel/Disney Junior.
ET/PT on Disney Channel and 4:00 p.m., ET/PT on Disney Junior.

Then, in the “Handy Manny” episode, Manny wants to ask longtime friend

Kelly to a Valentine’s Day party.  With a little help from the tools, he finally 

works up the courage and asks her to attend Mrs. Portillo’s party with him. 

 The episode titled “Valentine’s Day Party” premieres Thursday, February 14 at

10:30 a.m., ET/PT on Disney Channel and 6:00 p.m., ET/PT on Disney Junior.

“TOP GUN” TO BE RELEASED
 IN IMAX®3D FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
THE CLASSIC FILM RETURNS TO THE BIG SCREEN
 EXCLUSIVELY IN SELECT IMAX 3D THEATRES 
FOR A LIMITED ENGAGEMENT 
BEGINNING FEBRUARY 8, 2013
“TOP GUN” Debuts on Blu-ray 3D™/
 Blu-ray 2D™ Two-Disc Set February 19, 2013
 Years ago when I think I went to the movie theater at least three times to see Top Gun. I am a huge Tom Cruise fan and I believe it all started with this movie. If you were too young to see it the first time around in the theaters, this is your chance to see what everyone has been talking about. I am looking forward to the 3D IMAX experience with this one for sure. 

“TOP GUN,” Paramount Pictures’ 1986 classic from director Tony Scott, producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, and starring Tom Cruise, takes off on a new adventure with an exclusive six-day 3D engagement in select IMAX® theatres beginning February 8, 2013.  The film has been re-mastered for the IMAX®3D release and subsequent debut on Blu-ray 3D.
TOP GUN was re-mastered for the big screen from high-resolution original negative scans and painstakingly converted to 3D by Legend3D under the supervision of the film’s director, Tony Scott.  Rendered in 3D, the film’s complex, long shots reveal extraordinary depth and clarity, allowing viewers to explore every detail of the action.  From the spectacular aerial dogfights to the intense close-ups in the cockpits, each frame enables the audience to feel a part of the story. 
The story of an elite group of pilots competing to be the best in their class and earn the title of
“TOP GUN” captured the imagination of a generation and earned a worldwide box office of over $350 million upon its release.  The film stars Tom Cruise as Maverick and Kelly McGillis as his civilian instructor. The film also stars Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan.

The “TOP GUN” Blu-ray 3D disc presents the film with pristine high definition picture and sparkling sound in spectacular 3D for the ultimate home viewing experience.  The Blu-ray 2D includes the re-mastered film in high definition, along with a six-part documentary on the making of the movie, a behind-the-scenes featurette, interviews with Tom Cruise, commentary by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Tony Scott, co-screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr. and more.  The two-disc set available for purchase also includes a digital copy of the film and will be enabled with UltraViolet technology.
