When it comes to Pixar movies the one that surprised me the most was Inside Out! I definitely was not expecting to have to use the popcorn napkins to dry the tears dripping from both of my eyes throughout the movie! Wooza! So, just when I have finally gotten over it, here comes the Inside Out short- Riley’s First Date! Having my own tween daughter at home really makes me hang onto every single second of hope that she will never lose her core memories, especially  Goofball Island! Pixar Animation Studios heads back inside the mind with an all-new short. “Riley’s First Date?” made its world premiere this afternoon at D23 EXPO 2015.

Director Josh Cooley, along with “Inside Out” filmmakers Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and Jonas Rivera (“Up”), introduced the short, which revisits Riley, now 12, who is hanging out with her parents at home when potential trouble comes knocking. Mom’s and Dad’s Emotions find themselves forced to deal with “Riley’s First Date?” The short will be included as a bonus feature in the digital HD & Blu-ray releases of Disney·Pixar’s “Inside Out,” which will be available digitally Oct. 13 and on Blu-ray Nov. 3, 2015.

Netflix and August Are Perfect Together!

So here we are, August! We all knew it was coming. In our house August is a time to get all the summer homework done that has been laying around since the last day of school. It’s a time for us to rush around getting all the Fall things ready and a time to do all the things on the Summer list before the winds of Fall set in. Of course with saying that there is also plenty of time for Netflix. It’s our perfect goto in the car for those long rides and it’s our definite goto for long check out lines in the store. Of course at home we love Netflix, too! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother paying for cable stations. Well, with saying that- there are always plenty of choices with Netflix. Since the kids in our family range from post college to elementary school, thank goodness for personalized accounts! Check out our “Something For Everyone” below! Happy August. Hope your back to school days and last of summer days are all good ones.
