The Littlest Angel {DVD Review & Giveaway}

About the Film: The Littlest Angel tells the story of a young boy who arrives in heaven before his time. Home-sick and lonely, he will travel back to earth, with his friendly pup Halo, to retrieve a most selfless and precious gift for The Baby Jesus. First released in book form in 1946, The Littlest Angel became popular for its ornate words and phrases paired with beautifully muted oil paintings. Tazewell’s book was adapted into a TV musical in 1969 starring Johnny Whitaker, and theatrical versions continue to be done by schools and church groups today. The Author would follow-up with another childhood favorite, “The Littlest Snowman,” that would be read annually on the “Captain Kangaroo” show.

It’s a modern twist on the timeless tale of an Angel that discovers the greatest gifts in life are faith, friendship and doing the right thing. This new version of The Littlest Angel features wonderful animation and great vocal talent, including Ron Perlman (“Beauty and the Beast,” Tangled) and is sure to become a holiday favorite, much like the book.

Special features for this film include:Free study guide download (available @ The Littlest Angel Movie page). You can print coloring pages, download bible study leader and student plans.

Our Thoughts…

A warming tale that not only children will enjoy but adults as well. This movie was a great feel good flick to put on and cozy up on the couch together while snacking out on popcorn and hot chocolate. For my children ages 3.5 years old and ten months The Littlest Angel was a winner and though not entirely paying attention, my husband seemed to enjoy it as well. I noted this because he brought it up in conversation later this week.

The Littlest Angel has a heartfelt story line that teaches the importance of Faith, Friendship, and Doing the Right Thing. The animation is very colorful and warm. It’s quite inviting to the eye and the characters are quite interesting to learn about. I love when a book is made into a film well and this one certainly has hit the mark!

I would highly recommend picking this one up to enjoy during the Christmas season! This one would be fantastic to take a long during those long trips to visit family and even to watch when there’s not much else for the  kids to do. You can pre-order The Littlest Angel on Amazon.com right now for $9.99 and eligible for free super savers shipping.

Street Date: November 15, 2011 | Runtime: 83 minutes |SRP: $19.98 | Available @: Amazon & Christian Book Stores

Holiday Gift Guide 2011: Tumble Bee by Laura Veirs family music album {review + giveaway}}

On November 8th, be ready to pick up your copy of Tumble Bee by acclaimed indie folk artist Laura Veirs. A music album inspired by the birth of her son and created by the fascination of children’s folk songs from the early 20th century of America. Songs like the ones found on this album were specifically chosen and should be whole heartily embraced and not long forgotten as years pass us by.

Tumble Bee features  guest vocals by Colin Meloy (From the band The Decemberist), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Béla Fleck and more. The instrumentals and the twist on the classics bring a  new sound that most absurdly creates something unique!

There are thirteen tracks on this title and I was actually very surprised that I only recognized a few of the songs. This by all means is more reason to embrace this title and share folk songs once listened to and sung by our own Grandparents and Great Grandparents and so on with our current generation.

I loved that All the Pretty Little Horses was part of this collaboration. It’s an all time favorite lullaby that I sing to my children! I hadn’t heardd sung by anyone else in such a enchanting manner in some time. A few of the others songs I really like are King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O, Down in the Medder, and Jump Down Spin Around. All the songs are growing on not just me but my children too especially my little boy who has in turn heard his mommy sing some of the titles to him through out the day.

I’m excited that Laura Veirs will be promoting locally in Portland. I’ve got hopes in catching a show soon! I highly recommend Tumble Bee and if you are around the Portland, Oregon or Seattle Washington area I hope you’ll try to catch a show too!  Until then if you’d like to pick up a copy remember, Tumble Bee will be available internationally on November 8th, from various retailers. The CD package is really cute and includes a D.I.Y. kit to make your own Tumble Bee mobile. Watch Laura’s instructional video.
