Disney's Zootopia Now in Theaters

Disney's Zootopia movie opens today, 3/4, in theaters nationwide. It is available in 3D and standard definitions.

Synopsis
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard whom directed “Tangled” and “Bolt” along with Rich Moore of “Wreck-It Ralph” and “The Simpsons”. It is co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”).

Voice Cast: Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Shakira, Idris Elba, J.K. Simmons, Nate Torrence, Jenny Slate, Tommy Chong, Octavia Spencer, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, Alan Tudyk, Tommy “Tiny” Lister, Raymond Persi, Katie Lowes, Jesse Corti, John DiMaggio

Our Review
Disney's Zootopia is a great movie for the entire family! I think it contains more comedy than any other Disney movie. But, it isn't all comedy. The comedy is located mostly in the front half of the movie, where as the back half is full of adventure and a bit more serious. There are so many adult jokes to keep you entertained alongside the kiddos. And if you are a Breaking Bad fan, then you'll love that there is a sequence scene with reference to the show. There are many other pop references too.

The animation was brilliantly done. I especially liked the attention to detail that is depicted in the city in regards to the animals taking on human-like qualities. The moral/lesson of the storyline is on point. They touch on the subjects of: dealing with a bully, race acceptance and breaking stereotypes. And in pure Disney fashion, they did an excellent job handling these more serious topics. I will say though there is a bit of scariness, so to speak, for younger kids in a few attack scenes when the animals give into their primal nature.

While I saw this in 3D, save your money...it isn't required for this film. There weren't many parts that just came out at you.

Try Scotties Tissues For Your Allergies-Plus Top Allergy Fighting Tips

My whole household suffers from allergies. My family experiences the runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing several times a year.  Needless to say, with five people in the house we go through a lot of tissues.  Scotties recently sent me a care package to try their tissues out.  My boys were sold when they saw the two little white kittens on the box!  My husband and I tried them out and really liked the Scotties tissues.  We will definitely buy them.

 

A recent study was conducted by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Take a look at the top 10 cities that will experience the worst spring allergies this year are…

1.      Jacksonville, MS *worst*

2.      Louisville, KY

3.      Oklahoma, OK

4.      Memphis, TN

5.      Knoxville, TN

6.      McAllen, TX

7.      Wichita, KS

8.      Dayton, OH

9.      Providence, RI

10.   Richmond, VA

If you are in one of these cities, be prepared for allergy season.

I checked out Everyday Health and it suggested a few things that you might not have thought of to combat your allergies.  Here are a few tips that I will be trying.  (Check out the full list here)

1. Wear sunglasses to help keep pollen out of your eyes. 
2. Get rid of pollen producing plants that you might have right in your own house.
3. Use your dehumidifier to keep your home's humidity levels at 50%.
4.  Remove work clothes when coming outside to avoid bringing that pollen and spreading it through the house.

Visit your local store to purchase Scotties for your allergy season.  Check out Amazon for some great prices for ordering your Scotties in bulk.


Thank you to Scotties for my care package used to facilitate this post.

Caillou Helps Out DVD-Available June 16th

 

PBS Distribution announced it is releasing seven stories from PBS KIDS’ popular CAILLOU series on the new DVD “CAILLOU HELPS OUT.” Caillou loves to help out! From helping his dad make pizza to learning the importance of tidying up the classroom, Caillou realizes that lending a hand and working together makes everything easier and more fun.

 

“CAILLOU HELPS OUT” will be available on DVD June 16, 2015. The run time is approximately 60 minutes and the DVD SRP is $12.99.

 

The adventures included on this DVD are listed below. In one of the stories, “Emma’s Extra Snacks,” Caillou learns that while his friend Emma has diabetes, it doesn’t stop her from participating in all her favorite activities. A new book from Chouette Publishing called “Emma’s Extra Snacks” will be available this fall. The book, published with the American Diabetes Association, includes a poster about Emma and her diabetes.

 

“Caillou Makes a Meal”

Caillou makes pizza for dinner with his family, and learns that home-made pizza can be just as good as the fast-food pizza they have delivered to their door...and it’s fun to make!

 

“High Flyers”

Daniel comes for a visit and thinks he knows how to put together a model plane...without the instructions. When the plane doesn’t fly properly, Caillou finally gets the courage to point out a poorly connected piece. They fix the plane and Daniel acknowledges that Caillou knows a lot for a little kid! 

 

“The Untidy Classroom”

When Caillou complains about having to tidy up, Miss Martin suggests an experiment – they won’t tidy up the classroom for a few days, and they’ll see what happens.  At first, the kids think this is fantastic...until they can’t find their puzzle pieces, they keep stepping on toys, and they can’t even do their morning exercises. Caillou finally realizes it’s time to tidy up, and decides to lead the clean-up crew! 

 

“Follow Me”

Caillou tries to befriend his new classmate, Andy, but finds he isn’t getting very far. When Caillou tries to see things through Andy’s eyes, and realizes he prefers quiet activities – such as drawing – Caillou finally finds a way for them to be friends.

 

“Emma’s Extra Snacks”

Caillou is confused when Emma is allowed to have extra snacks at preschool. He’s even more confused when Miss Martin explains that Emma has type 1 diabetes. Worried about his friend, Caillou becomes very protective of Emma, not wanting her to do anything – not even go down the slide!  But when Emma outruns Caillou in a race, he soon realizes Emma’s diabetes isn’t like a cold or flu. It’s something Emma has to live with every day...and she’s doing a pretty good job of it.

 

“Smooth Sailing”

Caillou likes sailing with Daddy and Grandpa. Only, he wants to be Captain!  Grandpa and Daddy try to convince him that his job – as Lookout – is very important, but Caillou isn’t convinced...until he helps them find Treasure Cove by spotting various landmarks and leading the way.

 

“Captain Caillou”

Captain Caillou and Fantastic Leo are enjoying ‘flying’ around the house, pretending to be superheroes. Only, they can’t seem to share the task of saving the world!  Each wants to be the big hero in charge of their important ‘rescue’.  When Daddy asks them to lend a hand in weeding out the wild weed ogres, Caillou and Leo come to realize things would go a lot smoother if they worked together.
