Disney PIXAR Presents COCO This Fall!Coco

Judging by what I have heard so far, COCO is going to be an amazing movie and quite as moving as well. It looks like a typical Disney PIXAR movie that goes right for your heart and soul! Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history. Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”), Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22, 2017.

#Nintendo Mario Sports SuperStars- Review

by 1 Comment

Nintendo’s Mario Sports SuperStars ReviewMarioSports

Mario Sports SuperStars is the ultimate game package for both fans of the iconic Super Mario franchise and fans of the sports video game genre. SuperStars packs in a variety of different modes that include soccer, baseball, tennis, horse racing and golf. Each of these distinct sports is extremely well-rounded, and function almost as if they were their own separate releases in terms of quality. Recently our family was invited to the Mario Sports Superstars event at Nintendo New York and had such a blast! I was able to team up with some of my gamer friends and see who was the ultimate superstar!

 One of the major perks of playing a Mario-oriented sports game is that it gives you the enjoyment of playing these games while at the same time seeing some of the most iconic characters in modern gaming. I had a blast as I passed the ball between Bowser and Bowser Jr. while playing soccer. I had Donkey Kong compete against his fellow Nintendo stars in a horse racing event. The Horse racing is one of my favorites! It’s a pretty intense set up that takes you from stable to racetrack. Did I mention you get the train the horses yourself. I just love the look of all the horses. Mario Sports SuperStars also includes amiibo integration, with a special amiibo card included with each game sold. These cards can be scanned into the game to unlock special boosts for characters, and the cards look great alongside players’ amiibo figure collection.

The game also features both online and local multiplayer support ranging from two up to six players. This is a great addition for while playing the game on the go. You and your friends can hop into a quick match and duke it out. The game is vibrant and visually appealing, as all the characters are beautifully realized on the 3DS system. The overall atmosphere of the Mario world works perfectly with these sporting events, as in game modes like soccer characters such as the iconic Shy Guys can be spotted in the bleachers watching the game take place. The game features five full-featured sports including Soccer, Tennis, Golf, Baseball and Horse Racing! What a great combination of games packaged together. There is training, single player and multiplayer games. There are three cups available, The Mushroom Cup, The Flower Cup, and the Star Cup. Completing the Star Cup unlocks Champion’s Cup that will give you extra perks. Something I love about the game is the elaborate amount of favorite Nintendo characters you can find within the game. From Mario to Princess Peach to Birdo, to Yoshi you can definitely find your favorite. https://play.nintendo.com/

 Is this game good for boys? Yes! Is this game good for girls? Yes! Is this game good for parents that play their kids’ 3ds while they are asleep? YES! Everyone in the family will love this one. It is definitely a game for all. It also would make the perfect birthday gift for a gamer that you know. Overall, Mario Sports SuperStars is a lot of fun, and is a new essential for 3DS gamers. I had a spectacular time playing all of the different events, competing against my friends, and making sure I could do anything I possibly could in the game. The title really lives up to its name, as you will feel like you are, in fact, a superstar, when you beat out your friends in the big game! Check out everything about the game here. Game on gamer friends, Game On!

Born In China New Panda Clip and Fun Facts Now Available!borninchina

Narrated by John Krasinski (“13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” NBC’s “The Office,” “Amazon’s “Jack Ryan”), Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure film “Born In China” takes an epic journey into the wilds of China where few people have ever ventured. Following the stories of three animal families, the film transports audiences to some of the most extreme environments on Earth to witness some of the most intimate moments ever captured in a nature film. A doting panda bear mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek independence. A two-year-old golden monkey who feels displaced by his new baby sister joins up with a group of free-spirited outcasts. And a mother snow leopard—an elusive animal rarely caught on camera—faces the very real drama of raising her two cubs in one of the harshest and most unforgiving environments on the planet. Featuring stunning, never-before-seen imagery, the film navigates China’s vast terrain—from the frigid mountains to the heart of the bamboo forest—on the wings of red-crowned cranes, seamlessly tying the extraordinary tales together. Opening in U.S. theaters on Earth Day 2017, “Born in China” is directed by accomplished Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, and produced by Disney’s Roy Conli and renowned nature filmmakers Brian Leith and Phil Chapman.

“Born in China” is the seventh theatrical release for Disneynature, the first new Disney-branded film label from The Walt Disney Studios in more than 60 years.  The label was launched in April 2008 to bring the world’s top nature filmmakers together to capture a variety of wildlife subjects and stories.

The first six big-screen releases under the Disneynature label—“Earth,” “Oceans,” “African Cats,” “Bears,” “Monkey Kingdom” and “Chimpanzee”—are among the top seven highest grossing feature-length nature films of all time. 

Walt Disney was a pioneer in wildlife documentary filmmaking, producing 13 True Life Adventure motion pictures between 1948 and 1960, including “Seal Island” (1948), “Beaver Valley” (1950), “The Living Desert” (1953) and “Jungle Cat” (1958). The films earned eight Academy Awards®.

No compensation was given for this review.carebears8If you know anything about me by now it’s that I absolutely love to celebrate the little things in life. It’s not wonder that we have been collecting Precious Moments forever. When I first heard about the Precious Moments Care Bears collection I knew it was something I had to see. They looked supercute. When our box arrived my daughter and I could not wait to open it and see it the figurines lived up. There are six different Precious Moments Care Bears. We chose “Sharing Is Caring” and “Follow Your Heart“. For nearly 40 years, Precious Moments has been creating gifts that celebrate caring, sharing, and love.  Precious Moments wants to share the care with their Care Bears line. Celebrate with everyone’s favorite bears from Care-A-Lot!

We loved the pieces immediately. They both lived up to the Precious Moments and the Care Bears line. They were super cute and would be a wonderful addition to any collection. As for my daughter, she immediately claimed them and brought them into her room. That is where we discovered that they linked into each other. It seems that each of the six figurines can connect onto another from either side. They look great standing alone or in groups of two or more.

They also each share a special message. We chose “Sharing Is Caring” because it is one of the mottos we try to live by with both family and friends. This figurine features Share Bear. We try to share with each other and also with others. It’s a life skill that I hope my daughter will carry with her throughout her life. Hopefully this little Precious Moment will be one that lasts a lifetime and ever time she looks at it, it confirms something positive in her life.carebears4carebears3The other piece we chose was “Follow Your Heart”. This figurine features Tenderheart Bear. He is definitely one of my favorites. As a mom, what better message can I give my daughter than to follow her heart! Life is tough and she is about to hit the tween and teen years in the blink of an eye. Holding the Precious Moments figurine and explaining to her how it’s important to always follow your heart did have my eyes fill up with hopeful tears of love. My sweet little girl was all ears. I am hoping that this beautiful Precious Moment is one she will remember forever and that each and every time she looks at it she will be reminded of our conversation and always remember to follow her heart. carebears1carebearsBelow you can find all about the entire collection of six Precious Moments Care Bears. They are priced reasonably and would make a great gift for anyone. They are perfect for encouragement for little boys and girls and of course wonderful for collectors of all ages. I’m already planning to get another one or two for Emily for her great report card (Full Of Cheer) and for an end of school year gift and beginning of summer (Fun In The Sun). I’m not sure if she will get the entire collection, but that is what is good about these figurines. You can buy one, two or all. If you have someone in your life that is a fan of either Precious Moments or Care Bears they would definitely love this. http://www.preciousmoments.com/
