Walt Disney Animation Studios presents an epic tale of adventure and comedy in “Frozen,” a computer-animated feature film slated for the big screen in November 2013. Directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf’s Up”) and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,” “The Princess and the Frog”), “Frozen” features the vocal talents of film/TV/stage star Kristen Bell as Anna, a young dreamer about to take the adventure of a lifetime, and Tony Award ®-winning actress Idina Menzel as Elsa the Snow Queen. The movie will feature original songs by Broadway greats Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.In “Frozen,” a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, so Anna (voice of Bell) must team up with Kristoff, a daring mountain man, on the grandest of journeys to find the Snow Queen (voice of Menzel) and put an end to the icy spell. Encountering Everest-like extremes, mystical creatures and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.
Bell has starred in a variety of films, including the comedies “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Couples Retreat,” and the upcoming films “Hit & Run,” “Some Girls” and the Farrelly Brothers’ “Movie 43.” On the small screen, Bell is currently starring in the Showtime series “House of Lies” alongside Don Cheadle; she has also starred in “Heroes” and “Veronica Mars.” Broadway credits include “The Crucible” and “Tom Sawyer.” Menzel, who won a Tony Award® as Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Elphaba in Broadway’s “Wicked” (2004), landed her first role on Broadway in 1995 in the Tony Award-winning musical “Rent.” Film credits include “Enchanted” and the feature film “Rent.” She has appeared in a recurring role on TV’s “Glee” and recently released “Idina Menzel Live: Barefoot at the Symphony,” a live concert with an orchestra led by composer/conductor Marvin Hamlisch. Menzel is currently on a North American concert tour. Robert Lopez is a three-time Tony Award®-winning writer of the Tony and Grammy® Award-winning musical “The Book of Mormon,” which was co-written with Trey Parker and Matt Stone (“South Park”), and the musical “Avenue Q,” which ran for six years on Broadway and four years in London’s West End. Lopez teamed with wife Anderson-Lopez, whose Drama Desk-winning show “In Transit” is Broadway-bound, to write original songs for 2011’s “Winnie the Pooh,” a stage version of “Finding Nemo” and a new musical called “Up Here.” Disney/Pixar's much anticipated adventure, "Brave" is set to hit theaters everywhere on June 22, 2012! I know we're all excited, and I am sure your families are, too!
To help celebrate the release of this epic tale, I wanted to share some fun activity sheets with you! Website & Mobile site: Disney.com/Brave Like on Facebook: facebook.com/PixarBrave Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/disneypixar I am so excited to announce the winner of the SuperDad event! My winner is Views from the 'Ville, and has been notified via e-mail. Thanks to everyone who entered. This event was a HUGE success, with over 11,000 entries!
As an Incredimom, I have gotten the chance to try a wide range of Incredibum products. I love their diapers and their gigantic, reversible wet bags. I also love their Bum-boo Wipes! Now that is something I didn't expect. You see, while we do cloth diaper, we don't usually use cloth wipes. My husband insists on disposable wipes, and says that reusing wipes is crossing some invisible line in his head. So naturally, when my Incredibum Bum-boo wipes arrived, he was a bit less than enthusiastic. I was excited, though. You see, I will use cloth wipes on occasion, I just don't have too many of them due to my husband's aversion to them. While I am not an expert when it comes to cloth wipes, I did notice immediately that the Bum-boo wipes are much different than the other cloth wipes I have seen. First, they're HUGE! They measure a whopping 9"x9"! These are larger than even the disposable wipes I am used to using. The size is wonderful, since it pretty much eliminates the chances of getting any nasty baby goo on your hands when dealing with a blow-out!
Another thing I noticed right away is that these wipes are super thick and incredibly soft. Bum-boo wipes are made from a 90% bamboo 10% polyester blend that is luxurious to the touch and gentle on baby's delicate skin. Sore butts are no fun, and for the baby with sensitive skin, these wipes are amazing. My son, Xander, is very prone to rashes and needs a more delicate touch. These wipes fit the bill perfectly! Since they're also very thick, I have found that these wipes don't allow messes to seep all the way through, getting on your hands. I have been so excited about the upcoming release of DreamWorks Pictures movie, "People Like Us". First, it is coming to theaters on June 29, 2012, which just happens to be my birthday. Also, it looks like a wonderful "feel good" film. I love movies that have substance and meaning, and "People Like Us" seems to fit the bill perfectly. From DreamWorks Pictures comes “People Like Us,” a drama/comedy about family, inspired by true events, starring Chris Pine (“Star Trek”) as Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, whose latest deal collapses on the day he learns that his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father's estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father's last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about his family—and re-examine his own life choices in the process. Check out this new clip from the film. In this clip, Frankie talks to Josh's principal. Doesn't this look like a great movie?! I know it's on my must-see list for this summer!

I always keep them on hand for trips, running errands, or just a day playing in the yard. These organic treats come in fantastic flavors, and don't contain any "yucky" ingredients like preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, and are free of GMO's. I feel good about giving my kids these purees, because I know that all they're getting is pure, organic fruits and vegetables. Nothing more, nothing less. I was so excited when I learned about a new line of purees from the folks at Earth's Best. These are great for older babies and toddlers, and they contain a little something extra. New Earth’s Best Organic Fruit and Grain Purees hit shelves last month! These purees are a delicious blend of organic fruit and hearty whole grains in a unique, portable, squeezable pouch perfect for babies 6 months and older. The fiber in whole grains helps baby stay satisfied longer after meals and snacks and each variety contains 45% of the daily value of Vitamin C. Whole grains contain all three layers of the grain, making this new product naturally richer in vitamins and minerals as compared to baby foods manufactured with refined grains, where vitamins and minerals may be stripped away due to processing. The new Organic Fruit and Grain Purees will be available in Apple Peach Oatmeal, Apple Plum Kamut, Banana Raspberry Brown Rice and Pear Apricot Barley. I don't know about you, but my mouth is already watering just thinking of these tantalizing flavor combinations! It's that time again! Step2 Tuesday! I am so excited to share some awesome photos, submitted by Sandy! You can tell that her grandkids are happy kids, and they love playing with their Step2 toys! Notice the playhouse in the yard, too! I love the playhouses at Step2, and am planning to get my toddlers one that's very similar!
Thanks so much for sharing, Sandy! |
