My Review of this movie!

It's amazing how realistic the animation on Pixar films has become. I swear even movies with actual people in them weren't as realistic as cartoons can be today!

The movie starts out good, grabs you by the seat and takes you on a fun, fast paced story that shows you how Mike and Sully actually met and became friends.

This movie was sad, but leave it to Disney to get right to the bottom of your heart and tug on your heartstrings. My kids were completely captivated while watching this movie. I remember hearing it was coming out over a year ago- and being so SO excited. Monsters Inc is one of my favorite "non-princess" Disney films. Even though it is Pixar, it is also DISNEY-Pixar now.
Or maybe it was always. I have a throbbing headache that is about to turn into a migraine.
Somebody call a doctor- a nurse.. heck anybody!
I always thought, wow if they did a sequel to that movie- it would be awesome! SO naturally- I jumped at the chance to review this BlockBuster BluRay set for the girls.

Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. Disney’s “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.

One of the early concept drawings of an early Mike in college was dated 2008, which goes to show you just how long this Monsters Inc prequel has actually been in development. It’s kind of amazing that we only learned that it would be a prequel story-line earlier this year. To give you an idea of the timeline, Ratatouille was just completed when they began concept work for this film — it was that long ago.

I also heard that Pixar toured actual college campuses to prepare for the story and animation for this movie! Little facts like that are so neat, ot to mention impressive that much work goes into a movie. It's the little details, things you would never think. But it makes sense.

Mom and Dad will love hearing familiar voices of John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Steve Buscemi! My kids kept talking about the movie for days, giggling at parts of it at breakfast the next day over waffles!

In college you meet many different interesting and sometimes strange characters, and MU is no different. There are all sorts of monsters; frat monsters, nerd monsters and goth monsters, as well as an assortment of Monster professors.

Facts about movie found on:"Slashfilm.com"



Well that concludes my review of this 3 disc set, BluRay, Standard Def, and Digital Copy of Monsters University by Disney Pixar, and if you can't tell.. we totally loved it!

If you take our word for it. Buy this movie now! I left links to purchase on Amazon, Walmart & Target!


Amazon: 24.99
Walmart:: 24.99
Target: $29.99


Also, if you are in some need of entertainment for yourself and the kiddies (either/or) Do be sure to check out the Monsters University website by typing into your browser, "   www.MonstersUniversity.com   "
Check out the site, it REALLY looks like a professional collegiate website, legit!
I even took a screenshot just in case y'all didn't believe me!

Underneath that pic, at the VERY bottom of this post, you'll fiind that boring disclosure, but you'll also find links to follow Monsters University on Social Networks, like Twitter and Facebook!

Thanks for reading my review of this movie!

DreamWorks’ Shrek The Musical @shreksteronline #DVDreview



The greatest fairy tale never told comes to life as never before in DreamWorks’ Shrek The Musical, the highly acclaimed Broadway production based on the smash-hit movie. Shrek The Musical received eight  2009 Tony Award® nominations including Best Musical, winning Best Costume Design of a Musical (Tim Hatley) and received a Grammy Award® nomination for Best Musical Show Album. Fans can join in on the performance with sing along Shrek-tastic songs on the Deluxe Edition Blu-ray™ + DVD + Digital HD™ or single-disc DVD!
We absolutely loved all of the songs, dances and how hilarious each character was. The actress playing Fiona was super funny! My daughters loved Shrek anfd Donkey the best though!  as she performed her songs and dance routines. I think she was my daughter's favorite in this and Donkey of course was my little boys favorite as he is in the cartoon movies. I was cleaning the house and dancing around sweeping the living room as they watched it. How is that for multi-tasking? All the while probably checking email on my Blackberry. :-)



But, this is definitely a great add to your Shrek movie collections. A great movie for the entire family that will have you singing and dancing along as you watch! Buy it now! 
Shrek The Musical (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy) under 20$ @ WalMart AND

Its NEVER too early for Costumes! #giveaway #tween #werewolf 1/30



   
HalloweenCostumes.com has tons of teen costumes and tween costumes like this one. Giana is only 7, but the costume fits her nicely. Giana wears a 9/10, so I suppose it should fit her for a few years, we'll get a lot of use out of it.

You have to use your own jeans with this costume but who doesn't own a pair of jeans?

I love the little details on this costume. Details make the outfit  it includes 2 finger-less "fur" gloves, 2 "fur" boot covers, a furry vest which is torn for effect.. a cute wolf ear hat, and a cute wolf shirt and a cute red plaid skirt, which goes on top of the pair of jeans.
it is an 8 piece set, retail price for this costume is $31.99, which is very reasonable! Now I know we just had Halloween (seems like) and it seems like it's pretty far off, but I usually like to get my costumes well before the mad rush. Most costume retailers have extremely discounted prices this time of year -- usually better than Halloween prices!!!
  


The vest




The only issue I found with this costume was that it sheds like crazy....
I scoured their website w Gigi for a costume for this year.. she wanted something "scarier" than her normal happy-go-lucky ones of the past, and this one seems like it will still fit in a few months!! I love this Tween Werewolf Costume and Giana does too!  She looks super cute, right?

The gloves
Let your daughter become a wild animal in this Tween Werewolf Costume. This costume includes a black polyester made to feel like velvet and has the face of a wolf printed on it. The sleeves of the shirt are cut to look tattered and the left shoulder is cut open at the top. The back of the shirt has an elastic strap in the back just above the waist line to help the top keep its shape. The gray polyester vest has faux fur on the front and is plain in the back. The included black and plaid skirt is made of polyester as well and is cut to look tattered. On the front of the skirt has a black belt sewn on to it that is printed to look like a studded belt. On the inside of the skirt is a red mesh petticoat that is also cut to look tattered. The gray hood of the costume has faux fur pompoms, ears, and a strip above the front. Also included are fingerless gloves with faux fur on the top and gray fabric on the bottom. The boot covers are also made of faux fur and there is elastic on top to help them stay on the wearer’s legs. Your daughter will love being this fierce wolf this Halloween!

Our Moran Theater Elmo Makes Music Experience

Our Moran Theater "Elmo Makes Music" experience was courtesy of USFamilyGuide.com and I sooo appreciated the tickets.
Those who know us well know that my daughter is a HUGE elmo fan.. She got an elmo costume this year for Halloween & almost every toy she owns is Sesame Street related.. so it's only natural we would go!


Read the review of the Elmo Shirt (pictured, above) from Mi Cielo
We went in September, and I gotta admit  I had a great time and I know the kids did too. The show was just the right length, not too long, and not short. I appreciated the long intermission for a bathroom break.

The Moran Theater was really pretty and well taken care of. We had no issues while there whatsoever.

There was no waiting for parking, waiting in long line (expect the bathroom on intermission, naturally) and overall, I think everyone (even the Hubby) had a good time.

I.absolutely loved the concessions (those glazed nuts were FANTASTIC!) and the prices on the Sesame Street Memorabilia wasn't bad either. We bought an Elmo Hat (pictured below!) for like 8$!

I would definitely recommend taking your youngsters to see this show, if you interested, and there are more shows this year!

Look for them here: The remaining shows throughout the end of the year are in TX, KY, AL, & MS!


The Moran Theater is beautiful!
Below I have included pictures of all the things related to the show:
The kids before we left the house that morning, the kids waiting for the show to start, pictures of the show in progress, and of Devonnys MANY "Elmo Toys" and even of her this year Trick or Treating a few weeks ago, in the Elmo Costume we reviewed so many months ago!!!
Hope y'all enjoy them!!!

Special Thanks toSesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music for letting us attend the show.

PS The other pictures at the VERY bottom were of THE USO Sesame Street Show they performed on base this weekend. Unfortunately my military status did NOT get us into that for free, and they sold out within a matter of days, because when I called about it- they were all gone! :(
I wasn't too sad though, since the kids had already seen one Sesame Street/Elmo show this year!!!





















This was as close as I got to the Military Show on Base this past weekend.


Mark your calendar for a musical event like no other-monsters making music! Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all their Sesame Street friends are taking to the stage to share their love of music in Sesame Street Live "Elmo Makes Music."
Jenny, an enthusiastic new music teacher, arrives on Sesame Street only to discover that her instruments are missing. Jenny's new Muppet friends quickly come to the rescue and discover 'instruments' they never knew existed...rubber duckies, trash can lids and even cookie jars. Elmo and friends teach children that everyone can make and enjoy beautiful music together.
Adults will hear music they'll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as "The Hustle," "You Should Be Dancing" and "Rockin' Robin." "Elmo Makes Music" features nearly two dozen songs, including classics that children will love to sing along with such as "C Is for Cookie" and "The Alphabet Song."
