Tom and Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Volume 3 (Holiday gift guide)

Tom and Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Volume 3

Own it on DVD today!

Synopsis: Take one blue and white domestic cat. Add one small brown house mouse. Mix in a handful of chases, stir in a few falling anvils and top off with one brutish bulldog named Spike. Yields 14 delightful cartoons! This fast and funny collection rises to the occasion with a crazy camping trip (Sasquashed), a chase through a carnival?s haunted house (Spook House Mouse), an Alaskan adventure (Northern Light Fish Fight) and an encounter with an abominable snow rodent (Snow Mouse). But the most outrageous moment of all comes when Tom and Jerry set aside their differences and join forces against beach muscleheads Spike and Butch in Beach Bully Bingo. Endless fun is the main course served up in this new all-family feast of animated fun.

My Thoughts:

Of course we love Tom and Jerry in our house! 

As soon as Ninja saw the DVD he had to turn it on right then.

We all sat down with lunch and had a carpet picnic while

watching and laughing the funny cat and mouse duo.

This is a must have DVD for any kids collection.

Water For Elephants

LIFE IS THE MOST SPECTACULAR SHOW ON EARTH

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

Witness The Epic Tale of Forbidden Love Starring
Academy Award® Winner Reese Witherspoon and
Robert Pattinson On Blu-ray and DVD November 1

Summary: Take a journey back in time with the romantic tale based on Sara Gruen’s New York Times #1 Best-Seller novel of the same name, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, coming to Blu-ray and DVD on November 1st from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  Starring Academy Award®-winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line), Robert Pattinson (Twilight series) and Oscar®-winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds), the film presents an epic tale of forbidden love in a magical place filled with adventure, wonder and great danger. Showcasing the decadence of a bohemian circus and the majesty of its animals against the backdrop and beauty of a bygone era, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS makes the ideal holiday gift idea for your favorite film buff, fashionista or book-lover!

Devastated by the sudden death of his parents at the height of The Depression, a young dreamer from the wrong side of the tracks, Jacob Jankowski (Pattinson), abandons his veterinary studies at Cornell University. With no other family, no house, and no money, Jacob stows away on a train carrying the circus performers of The Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.  Hired as a veterinarian to care for the troupe’s animals, Jacob is temporarily filled with the promise of an exciting life that comes with a traveling circus troupe. However, as he builds a rapport and falls in love with the star of the show, Marlena (Witherspoon), they become prey to the circus’s owner, Marlena’s violent and abusive husband August (Waltz). As the circus begins to crumble from within and against all odds, Jacob and Marlena come together and fall in love through their compassion for a special elephant. With their love on the line, Jacob and Marlena come to a crossroads that will forever change their destiny.

Directed by critically-acclaimed filmmaker Francis Lawrence (Constantine), WATER FOR ELEPHANTS features fantastic supporting performances from Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl), Jim Norton (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), Mark Povinelli (The Polar Express), Richard Brake (Batman Begins), and Academy Award®-nominee Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild).

Babar DVD (Review and Giveaway)

I remember growing up watching Babar and just loving the show.

I was so glad to see that I can now share some of my childhood 

with my children with the 

Babar School Days DVD.

Babar The Classic Series: School Days features four episodes about Babar’s own school day adventures as well as those of his friends and family.  In each tale Babar learns important 

lessons on acceptance, honesty and patience. In “School Days”, Babar reminisces about his early education when he and his friends were picked on by the school bullies because they all looked “different”. But he soon realizes everyone should be proud of themselves because differences are what make everyone unique and special. In “Kings of the Castle” Babar and Lord Rataxes the rhino are convinced to trade places for the day, learning that it isn’t easy to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. In “Every Basket Has a Silver Lining” Babar’s son Pom, a towel boy on the basketball team, learns a valuable lesson about not lying about his playing status. In “Peer Pressure” King Babar recalls having to make a tough decision between loyalty to friendship and loyalty to the law.
