ABOUT THE MOVIE

In INCREDIBLES 2, Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.

Written and directed by Brad Bird (“Iron Giant,” “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille”) and produced by John Walker (“The Incredibles,” “Tomorrowland”) and Nicole Grindle (“Sanjay’s Super Team” short, “Toy Story 3” associate producer), Disney•Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” busts into theaters on June 15, 2018.

Now, fans can bring home the phenomenon, packed with light-hearted fun, pulse-pounding action and a powerful message, and watch it over and over again, Digitally in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ and Movies Anywhere on May 8 and on 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™, DVD and On-Demand on May 15. With both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos immersive sound, 4K Ultra HD offers consumers a transformative viewing experience.

Through the 4K Cinematic Universe Edition of “Black Panther,” fans will experience the exhilarating adventure in stunning 4K Ultra HD with next-generation high dynamic range (HDR) visuals and Dolby Atmos immersive audio. Never-before-seen extras feature commentary from director Ryan Coogler; deleted scenes; outtakes; and several making-of featurettes, which detail the Black Panther’s evolution, the remarkable women of Wakanda, the history of T’Challa’s proud nation, and the cosmic origin and technological applications of vibranium. Also included are a roundtable discussion with “Black Panther” filmmakers and writers; a featurette tracing the countless connections between heroes, characters and storylines within the Marvel Cinematic Universe; and an exclusive sneak peek at “Ant-Man and the Wasp.”

The global cultural phenomenon of “Black Panther” has dominated the box office charts emerging as the third biggest movie of all time domestically with over $665 million – the first film in eight years to spend five weeks at No. 1 – and rising to the global top 10 of all time with over $1.3 billion. In the acclaimed film, T’Challa returns home to the hidden high-tech African nation of Wakanda to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king, following the death of his father. But when a man named Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) appears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he’s drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Pitted against his own family, the king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and embrace his future as an Avenger.

The film features a fierce group of Wakandan women, including Nakia (Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o), a War Dog and Wakandan spy; Shuri (Letitia Wright), T’Challa’s little sister and tech wizard; and the Dora Milaje, the all-female Wakandan Special Forces led by Okoye (Danai Gurira). They team up with reluctant ally CIA agent Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman) to help T’Challa defend Wakanda against the forces threatening to destroy it. The extraordinary ensemble cast of “Black Panther” also includes veteran actors such as Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett as Ramonda, T’Challa and Shuri’s mother; Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker as Zuri, the spiritual leader of Wakanda; and Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue, an illegal arms dealer; and standout performances by Academy Award® nominee Daniel Kaluuya as W’Kabi, Royal Counsel to T’Challa; Winston Duke as M’Baku, the formidable leader of the Jabari tribe; and Emmy® Award-winner Sterling K. Brown as N’Jobu, a Wakandan War Dog.

The action in “Black Panther” is intensified through a musical score by GRAMMY®-nominated composer Ludwig Göransson and soundtrack curated and produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning global superstar Kendrick Lamar and Billboard Magazine’s Executive of the Year Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith. “Black Panther: The Album” topped the Billboard 200 chart for five consecutive weeks and the end-credit track, “All The Stars,” featuring Lamar and SZA, spent nine weeks in the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

How To Create Your Own Super Incredibles 2 Character #Incredibles2Event

April 16, 2018 by Momstart Leave a Comment

Disney provided hotel and transportation for us to attend the Incredibles 2 Animation Day. While we were at the Incredibles 2 Animation Day we had the opportunity to learn about how easy it is to create your own “Super”.

But first we had to learn a little about the different shapes that occur in art and what they mean. Take for example a very large boxy type character. This is the shape of Mr. Incredible, who is super strong right? That is a shape that we recognize, we see security people are usually that shape.

Then you can also think of long and slender boxes or long slender triangles show us speed and agility and are often feminine. Then you have the circle shape and it can represent unity or the circle of life. And then the combination just gives us a feeling, along with the colors you choose and how you put them together.

How To Create A Super

While we were at Pixar we were encouraged to do three different things.

One. We were encouraged to just cut out some basic shapes.

Two. We were encouraged to use two basic colors and could accent with a few more.

Three. We were encouraged to just take those scissors and just cut.

He encouraged us to just be free and go with the flow. He said there was something therapeutic about taking the scissors and cutting. Kind of like an animator with a pencil, just go for it.

I wasn’t very good at just free cutting, so I cut out some shapes in two different colors of blue and put them together. My figure, even though I didn’t mean for it to, ended up looking a lot like Frozone.

Here are a few of the characters that some of my blogging buddies came up with. What do you think? Could you put together a great Super with just a few basic shapes? This would be a fun project to do with your kids. Just get some construction paper or pattern paper. Just get some different kinds of paper. Get some scissors and some glue. Then put it all together and see what you can come up with.

How To Make An Alien Pencil Topper Craft

January 31, 2018 by Momstart Leave a Comment

This is a great Valentine’s Day craft you can do with the kids. It’s how to make an alien pencil topper craft and we think it’s great. My daughter loves having pencil toppers on top of her pencils and she makes pencil topper crafts all the time. She’ll even just use glue and see how it comes out as a pencil topper. That’s why we wanted to share this really cute Alien Pencil Topper craft.

Most of the kids nowadays are bored of the plain old pencils, much like my daughter. Since Valentine’s day is coming up, this might be something your class wants to do together, or that your kids could make as an alternative to the sugar gifts.

How To Make An Alien Pencil Topper Craft

Step 1: Gather all the materials needed for this tutorial:

· a ball of yarn

· a fork

· a pair of scissors

· 2 pieces pipe cleaner (any color would do)

· a pair of googly eyes

· hot glue

· a pencil

Step 2: Wrap the yarn around the head of the fork. Make sure to tightly wrap it around for better results.

Step 3: Cut a small strand and insert it in the middle of the wrapped yarn on the fork. Tie the wrapped yarn as tight as possible.

Step 4: Slowly remove the tied yarn from the fork.

Step 5: Carefully cut both ends of the tied yarn using a sharp scissor.

Step 6: Trim the uneven parts of the pompom.

Step 7: Cut the red pipe cleaner in half. Set aside the other half afterwards.

Step 8: Fold the red pipe cleaner into two equal parts and form a letter V from it. Afterwards, curve each end of the pipe cleaner. This will serve as the antenna of the alien pompom. Generously glue the antenna on the middle part of the pompom.

Step 9: Hot glue a pair of googly eyes just below the antenna.

Step 10: Form a small, flat circle in one end of the purple pipe cleaner and hot glue it at the bottom part of the alien pompom. This will serve as the gripping base of the pencil topper.

Step 11: Carefully swirl the pipe cleaners gripping bases of the pencil topper around the pencil’s body.

Step 12: Finally done! You can now use your alien pompom pencil topper in your favorite pencil!

You and your kids can experiment on the colors and the design of this alien pencil topper craft. Let your kids decide on what color or design he or she wants. This can also be used on pens and in all sorts of writing medium, you just need to adjust the gripping base based on the thickness of the writing material. Hope you had fun!

DIY: How to Make Valentines & Envelopes with Scotch Duct Tape Craft

January 16, 2018 by Momstart Leave a Comment

My kids and I had an opportunity to do Duct Tape crafts and we found that it’s quite fun to make your own products out of Duct Tape is it Duck Tape or Duct tape. I think it’s Duck Brand Duct tape but most people just call it Duck tape now. We ended up making a little hand bag, ties, and head bands. It was so much fun. You can use Duck Tape to make purses, ties for Father’s day and you could probably make a shirt if you took the time. I’m not sure how comfortable it would be but the ideas with Duck Tape crafts is endless. Since it’s almost Valentine’s Day, we thought we should share some Duct Tape Valentines, AKA Duck Tape Valentines.

Duck Tape Valentines

So this can be entirely made with Duct Tape. Or you can gather some card stock and just enhance it with the tape.

Supplies needed:

Multiple Color Duct Tape

(Patterned Duck Tape)
Sharpies

To Make the Cards:

Lay one piece of duct tape flat on the board. Now layer a second one so that it overlaps with the first one between a quarter and an eighth of an inch. Continue until you’ve reached a size that works for you. We did about four rows of duct tape.

Then when you have a solid sheet you can just decorate it as you choose with angles and shapes cut out of Duct Tape.

When you want place a solid color in the middle where you can write a message or a name to personalize the Valentine.

To Make The Envelopes:

Turn the sheet over. Use a couple rolls of tape to hold down the corner if needed. Time for the second layer, or envelope liner. Do the same exact thing but going in an opposite direction. This will ensure that your duct tape sheet doesn’t roll into a tube. Once you’re done, trim the excess tape off the edges.

Measure the size you need based on your card or whatever is going in inside. For our first envelope, we used one of our pop-up name cards. Cut the sheet so that it’s about half an inch wider than the card and about three times the height.

From the bottom, measure and draw out a triangle. Cut it out. Mimic a similar triangle for the top flap, but slightly larger. Now you’re done!

How To Make a Paper Plate Dinosaur

December 29, 2017 by Momstart Leave a Comment

If your kids are dinosaur-obsessed, turn your home into Jurassic Park with this quick and easy craft!

Under her leadership, the company has gained national exposure on the Today Show, become a corporate sponsor for the Boys & Girls Club, partnered with Make-A-Wish LA, and received a 2017 Stevie Award for Sales & Customer Service Excellence.

Oh, the things you can do with a paper plate! This dinosaur craft is quick, easy, and will lead to hours of fun and imaginative play. Even better, this project offers the opportunity for a learning moment: teach kids about the different species of dinosaurs they’ve made, what they ate, and where they roamed.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you step-by-step how to make a paper plate dinosaur using a plate, a few crafty embellishments, and a lot of creativity.

What You’ll Need:

● Large paper plate

● Scissors

● Pencil

● Glue

● Toilet paper roll

● Decorations of your choosing (try paint, ribbons, washi tape, and googly eyes!)

Step 1:

Fold a large paper plate in half to form the body of your dinosaur.

Step 2:

On a second paper plate or sturdy card stock, sketch out a head, tail and triangular spikes (depending on which dinosaur you’re making). If you aren’t confident in your drawing skills, download a template from the web to get the features just right.

Step 3:

Glue or staple the head, tail, and spikes to the edges of the first plate and secure between both sides of the plate.

Step 4:

For the dinosaur’s feet, measure and cut a toilet roll into three even pieces. Then cut slits into two of the pieces and slide them onto the paper plate dinosaur. If you downloaded a template, it probably had feet included — but affixing toilet roll feet will allow your dinosaur to stand on its own, making it more fun for your child to play with.

Step 5:

Time to decorate! Depending on the age and ability of your child, you can paint the dinosaur or even add glitter and sparkles. Solid color or patterned washi tape is an easy way for kids to add their own flair when decorating, since the thin tape is easy for little fingers to tear. Cut ribbon into smaller pieces to make fun, colorful spikes for a stegosaurus, or use metallic trim to outfit your dinosaur with sparkly scales. Add googly eyes to your dinosaur’s head, and you’re done!

Don’t stop at one dinosaur — make a whole dino family, from T-Rex to pterodactyls and stegosauruses! Let your kids make up stories for the dinosaurs to act out. And don’t forget to give your paper plate dinosaur a n
