We are huge fans of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse over here and it’s no surprise that the I Heart Minnie DVD has quickly become a brand new favorite in our home. My daughter loves all the characters and is really enthralled with how the team works together to figure things out! My son who recently has turned one is also starting to pay attention when we watch the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse . And be warned the the theme song is going to get stuck in your head! Good thing it’s a pretty cute song.

This Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD, much like the others, focuses on making learning fun. There’s things like shape recognition, colors, problem solving skills and counting. My daughter also really liked that the DVD cover itself had activities to keep her happy on the reversible cover . How fun that not only can she watch a show that she loves but she can figure out mazes, and do other fun activities such as color how she’d like the featured cover to look and there’s even a place for her to write her name on who the movie belongs too.

I haven’t met a little girl that didn’t love horses, unicorns, and especially sweet little ponies. When I was a little girl I dreamed of having a horse and having such great adventures! The horse in my dreams was majestic, knew me perfectly, and we were completey inseparable. I still love horse and I am happy to see this love also forming in my three year old daughter who has recently discovered the magical world of unicorns and other horse friends in My Little Pony ( a newer version of the show I used to watch myself as a child)!

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: The Friendship Express DVD is going to be released for your viewing pleasure on February 28.

With her new friends, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, Twilight sets out on amazing adventures, and they all learn what it means to be true friends.

There are five episodes included on this two hour collection featuring magical stories focused on the importance of friendship. Episode titles include; Friendship is Magic part 1, Friendship is Magic part 2, Over a Barrel, Hearth’s Warming Eve and The Last Roundup. My daughter loves her friends and is always talking about them. I appreciate titles such as this one that encourage and display characteristics we all should take to heart to be a good friend!

My nearly four year old daughter loves My Little Pony! Her favorite character is Twilight Sparkle since she’s a unicorn pony and she’s purple, my daughters favorite color. This is a great dvd collection for not only the main feature but all the great extras!  Bonuses included are A Pony Sing-a-Long, Coloring Sheets, Meet the Ponies shorts, and the very first episode of the all new Pound Puppies series called “Yipper Caper”.

Film Synopsis: Balancing gritty action and emotional heart, “Real Steel” is an inspiring and visually stunning film that takes audiences on an action-packed journey. Washed-up boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) scrapes by as a small-time robot-fight promoter as he tries to make a comeback. Against all odds he eventually succeeds—at least in the eyes of his son Max (Dakota Goyo). “Real Steel” is spectacular family entertainment that will have everyone cheering again and again.

If you haven’t already seen Real Steel or even if you have, there’s a good chance that you’ll probably want to grab your very own DVD/Blu Ray copy when it releases on the 24th of January! In my opinion, this a great movie that the whole family will enjoy especially for the men and boys in your life.

I’m not ashamed to say that we are a pretty geeky family. We love Dr. Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, almost any sci fi, pirate flicks, and anything pretty much to do with Robots. Real Steel takes the cake for every robot movie we have seen especially since it’s family friendly. Honestly I am sure most people will be skeptical in the sense because all they know is that it’s a movie about robot boxing . I’m here to say it filled with so much more than that although the robots boxing is pretty cool all by itself!

We really liked this movie! My 3 1/2 year old daughter loves robots and has asked to watch this movie several times since we first watched it. Now note that this movie is PG 13 and you have a child that gets frightened easily this could pose an issue. I didn’t think it was over the top violent or scary but to each their own opinion and standards. I would say to maybe pre-screen this or read up on some other reviews to decide for yourself it’s right for the under 13 crowd in your own home.

This movie is full of action packed themes, adventure, and heart felt story line that’s main focus on  facing challenges, love, forgiveness, and second chances! Trust me, you don’t often find this wholesome of an action packed movie often. It’s no surprise that this one topped the theater charts for so long!

The DVD has lots of great extras! You’ll find the  “Making of Metal Valley” and “Building the Bots”. There’s bloopers and an audio commentary with the director on the DVD disc. The blu-ray disc has even more bonus content including Real Steel Second Screen, deleted and extended scenes, “Countdown to the Fight – The Charlie Kenton Story” and “Sugar Ray Leonard: Cornerman’s Champ” features. Fan of the flick won’t want to miss out on all these great bonuses!

Real Steel is rated PG-13 and has a running time of 127 minutes. It is available on Blu-ray and DVD. Check out the trailer of Real Steel for a preview of the film below.
