Celebrate Halloween With Costume Supercenter

- brandy3 1 Comment

Halloween is a little over a month away, I am so excited it is my favorite holiday..

I am a little to old to trick or treat (Snicker), but I love being able to dress up my kids and take them around. Every year I let my kids choose their own costumes, and this year my daughter chose a costume from Costume Supercenter. They have a huge variety of kids costumes to choose from.

Their new characters this year are Monster High, Hello Kitty, Disney Newest Princess Rapunzel, and so much more.

My daughter chose Rapunzel!

This costume is so adorable, and perfectly matches Rapunzel’s character. The dress is purple with pink trim, sheer sleeves and a bow with Rapunzel’s picture. The dress also comes with a petticoat and a crown.  The crown is all fabric, but fits heads better as it is more of a head band. The sleeves were a little tight and left bands on her arm, but she didn’t mind. Rapunzel will be celebrating in London in a few days, she is officially becoming a Disney Princess. My daughter will be wearing her costume while she watches.

This costume retails for $46.99

Lion King Blu-ray Combo Pack GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 188 Comments

Even though Lion King 3D is in theaters now, It’s coming to dvd on October 4, 2011.

An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters and award-winning music sets the stage for “The Lion King”, a Disney classic that follows the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who “just can’t wait to be king.” But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba’s exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa. Adopting their carefree lifestyle of “Hakuna Matata,” Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the “Circle of Life.” The all-star vocal talents—including Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Ernie Sabella, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Robert Guillaume, Cheech Marin and Moira Kelly—rip-roaring comedy and uplifting messages of courage, loyalty and hope make this a timeless tale for all ages.

I have one copy to giveaway to a US reader.
1 reader will receive the Lion King Blu-ray + DVD combo pack.

Back To School With Disney’s Shake It Up

- brandy3 1 Comment

Disney is back with another addition to the D-signed clothing line, this time they are featuring outfits from the show Shake It Up.

The CeCe and Rocky collection does not feature the characters face on it like so many other franchises do, instead the designs are influenced by both girls styles. Indie  rock with an urban dance feel, the collection features uber-trendy pieces mixing pattern and fabric, creating a fun and fearless look.  Ultra-cool rebel blacks are punched up with electric green, fuchsia and deep purple. Sequins, grommets and studs accent animal prints  and dark mottled tie dye to bring together  a perfect, dance-ready look!

We received the 2-fer striped short sleeve boxer tee in Multicolor for review.  I was a little uncomfortable at first because it’s just not really the type of thing my children wear, layering clothes and short tops. It was very cute though and my daughter loved it! You can wear the tank top as a regular shirt or add the short top over it for a layering effect.  It;s very light weight, so it won’t be to hot in the summer. We also received a pink Sequin pattern scarf with glitter, my daughter instantly fell in love with the scarf. The pink scarf is covered in glitter and is a great accessory to any outfit.

available now only at Target Stores  and online at www.Target.com in sizes 4-16

You can get the 2-fer at Target for $16.99 and the scarf for$9.99

Cars 2 Is Coming To DVD and Blu-ray On November 1, 2011

- brandy3 1 Comment

Disney has made the announcemet that Cars 2 will be available on dvd, blu-ray and combo pack on November 1, 2011.

I am thrilled, we have been waiting for this announcement. We missed seeing Cars 2 in the theatres, as they pulled it early for Harry potter.

Star racecar Lightning McQueen and the incomparable tow truck Mater take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2” when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell. Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.

Here is a never before seen bonus clip Air Mater

Fox and the Hound/Fox and the Hound 2 on Blu-ray

- brandy3

When Tod, an orphaned fox cub meets Copper, a coonhound puppy, they make a pledge to be lifelong friends, not realizing that Copper is being groomed to hunt wild animals, including foxes. Copper spends the winter with his owner, Slade, and an older dog, Chief, tracking animals at a remote cabin. When they return, a lonely Tod eagerly greets his old playmate but is stunned when a reluctant Copper joins Slade and Chief to chase Tod through the forest. During the pursuit, Tod escapes but Chief is seriously injured. Seeking revenge, Copper hunts down Tod only to find himself confronting an even bigger enemy, which he and Tod must face together.

Fox and the Hound 2-  music takes centerstage as Tod contemplates joining up with “The Singin’ Strays,” a group of harmonizing dogs appearing at the local county fair but dreaming of hitting the big time at the Grand OleOpry.  While Tod does his best to fit in with his new friends, Copper finds himself relegated to “roadie,” a position he begins to resent.  With the encouragement of Dixie, the “diva” of “The Singin” Strays,” Copper manages to sabotage an important audition.  The next day, their differences forgotten, Copper and Tod team up and, using Copper’s superior tracking skills, they locate the Grand Ole Opry talent scout who signs “The Singin’ Strays” (minus Tod, who chooses his friendship with Copper over fame) on the spot.

***** The Fox and the Hound is a great story of friendship, I got the whole family to sit and watch this movie together. The quality didn’t seem as good as some of the New restored Disney movies I have, but the movies were still good. My kids loved the Fox and the Hound and seeing that friends can come from anywhere, even when you are not suppost to be friends with someone. The Fox and the Hound 2 was a just as good as the first, proving friendship has its up and downs but always comes through.
It’s so great that they put the movies together in one case instead of having to different movies!

Retail:$39.99 but you can get on Amazon for $24.99

*** I received a Vinylmation robot to review. The minute I opened it my kids are like yay a new toy, I had to explain that it is a collectible and not  a toy.   It’s a little heavy for a 3 inch figure, but the designs are cute. There are 11 designs plus a mystery chaser, but you don’t know what you are getting.  The Vinylmation Robot I received looks like a spaceman with Mickey Ears. He is blue with orange designs. He is the Audio Sonic Bot designed by Enrique Pita.

I also just saw online that they have holiday collections available like Santa oh and my absolute favorite, They have The Nightmare Before Christmas Vinylmations.

You can visit Any Disney Store or www.disneystore.com and pick up your own Vinylmtion Robot for $9.99
