***This movie reminds me a little of Legally Blonde, Sharpay is rich and spoiled, but when she is on her own she struggles and makes a positive impact on people.  Sharpay goes to NYC to find her dream of being on Broadway, she has big problems along the way like her dog not being allowed in her suite, fighting for roles and more. We really like this movie, it shows kids that when you believe in yourself you can accomplish your dreams and goals.

The official screening and reception was held on April 6, Here is some footage of the cast and friends talking about the movie.

Save The Savannah with Disney’s African Cats

An  epic true story set against the backdrop of one of the wildest places on Earth,  “African Cats” captures the real-life love, humor and determination of the  majestic kings of the savanna.  Narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson, the story  features Mara, an endearing lion cub who strives to grow up with her mother’s  strength, spirit and wisdom; Sita, a fearless cheetah and single mother of five  mischievous newborns; and Fang, a proud leader of the pride who must defend his  family from a rival lion and his sons.  DisneyNature brings “The Lion King” to life on the big screen in this True Life Adventure directed by  Keith Scholey and Alastair Fothergill (“Earth”).  An  awe-inspiring adventure blending family bonds with the power and cunning of the  wild, “African Cats” leaps into theatres on Earth Day, April 22, 2011.

You can help save the Savannah, During the film’s opening week (April 22-28), a  portion of the proceeds from that week’s ticket sales will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF)  through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to ensure the future of lions,  cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes and a host of other animals in the vibrant  African savanna. The AWF will be working to protect the Amboseli Wildlife Corridor, a passage between  the Amboseli, Tsavo West and Chyulu National Parks that is frequently used by a  variety of wildlife.

    Tangled Fun and Coupon

    Tangled hits store shelves this Tuesday March 29, 2011, don’t miss getting a copy.

    Claire Keane, Talented conceptual artist shares her insights on Rapunzel’s walls.

    “Rapunzel’s walls are really a reflection of what she could see from her window as well as what she was thinking about. There was a definite plan with specific choices made in choosing the colors of Rapunzel’s walls. It was important to create how Rapunzel would create, not how I would create, so I had to try a variety of different things that would express her world.”

    “I’ve always been inspired by other artists whose works stands out to me for different reasons. Marc Chagall inspires me for his use of color, the great illustrator Charlie Harper inspires me for how to organize objects, and my Dad (Legendary Disney artist, Glen Keane) who always pushes me to really think about what I am creating and why.”

    “Ideas can come from real life – learn to see the beauty in the tiniest things. Rapunzel’s life changed within a single day and what happens to us on a daily basis is important and is part of what shapes us overall.”

    In the movie Tangled, Mother Gothel locks Rapunzel up in a tower to protect her from the dangerous outside world.  Thinking about it, how many times as a child did your parents tell you to trust their judgement or that they know better so don’t do it?
     
    Growing up there were tons of times I didn’t listen to what my parents said.
