PBS Wild Krats Rainforest Rescue DVD Review

April 20, 2013 by Momstart 4 Comments

We received a copy of Wild Krats to preview!

When I was a kid, we didn’t have cable. Cartoons were pretty much limited to whatever was on on Saturday mornings, and the weekday kids’ shows on PBS. I watched a lot of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood when I was young, and for as long as I’ve been a mom (going on 14 years now!) I’ve been a connoisseur of PBS cartoons and shows for kids. Back when my oldest was young, I was also teaching preschool, and the show “Zoboomafoo” was very popular among my students. I showed it to Shane, and he quickly became a fan of the Kratt Brothers, their leaping lemur pal, and all of the awesome animals they featured on their show. As a parent and a preschool teacher, I’m particular about shows like that. I want them to be factual and educational, but not preachy or boring. They have to be at their level, but not in a patronizing way. The Kratt Brothers seem to really get that, and the kids found them to be funny and entertaining, but would come into class, full of accurate, scientific information about all sorts of animals! Impressive!clip_image001

More recently, Chris and Martin, The Kratt Brothers, have a new show on PBS, “Wild Kratts”. True to form, this show features the brothers and their adventures with animals, and is packed full of fun and facts. But this time, it’s animated! Cartoon Chris and Martin are still wildlife explorers that teach kids about animals, but they do it by actually adopting their “creature powers” with special suits that simulate the unique traits of the animals they are studying (and usually helping out). The show is delightful – and that says a lot, coming from the mom who has to watch it from the kitchen while making dinner. And my kids like it, too!

Several episodes of Wild Kratts are available on DVD. Most recently, PBS released “Rainforest Rescue”, which features two episodes. In “Rainforest Stew”, kids are introduced to many creatures that call the rainforest their home, and the relationships between them all. In “Shadow: The Black Jaguar”, we learn about these impressive wild cats, and the importance of their special coloring.

This most recent DVD joins others already available, including “Lost at Sea” and “Jungle Animals”, is priced at $9.99 and runs 50 minutes.

Beauty And the Beast The Enchanted Christmas

December 3, 2011 by Momstart 5 Comments

By Summer:

In the original Disney Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies. In the movie however Belle and the Beast seem to develop something in the wintertime, during the “Something There That Wasn’t There Before” song. This Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas story is a “fill-in” to the original film.

clip_image002

The voices weren’t the same, the art didn’t seem to be the same and the colors also seemed duller to me. There are new characters introduces; there are new antagonists and the Christmas characters in this story. Children will love the five new songs I counted during the show though the credits said there were seven songs. On the bonus there are also Sing-A-Longs for your little performer.

My 4YO is too afraid of the new bad guys, but my brave little 2YO seemed to enjoy it. My mom liked it too. I however thought it was just okay though it is nice to have another addition to our young children’s movie collection.

SPOILER ALERT: I don’t understand how this movie fits into the original film. Belle and the beast learn to love each other in this film despite the schemes of one of the beast old companions (who is not in the original film) Maestro, an old pipe organ. In this film Maestro doesn’t want the beast to fall in love with Belle which I don’t understand why he doesn’t want to be human again.

I just don’t’ get it but my family seemed to find it entertaining. I don’t know if I had my hopes too high, but this Christmas version of Beauty and the Beast just wasn’t appealing to me.

This Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is available now and only for a limited time!

Disney Junior Mickey Mouse ClubHouse Space Adventure Review

November 18, 2011 by Momstart 112 Comments

The star of one of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment’s newly released movies needs no introduction. He is an icon, the symbol of everything Disney, and the most beloved cartoon character of all time: Mickey Mouse! He has fans throughout the world and of all ages; even my youngest daughter before turning one, wanted her first birthday to be all about Mickey. So if you’ve never heard of Mickey Mouse, then you must be living on Mars!

MMCH_Space_Adventure_DVD_ArtAnd Mars is just where Mickey and his friends are off to in Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment’s newly released movie Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Space Adventure. This 45 minute, full-length intergalactic adventure takes the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse gang – Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Daisy – into outer space to search for the ultimate space treasure. Geared for kids 2 to 5 years of age, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Space Adventure invites young viewers to discover outer space and use their problem- solving skills while they watch. In this specific adventure, Mickey and pals head to space where they tour the Moon, Mars and the Rings of Saturn as well as meet new alien friends while on the hunt for a unique space treasure.

My daughters couldn’t wait to get the chance to watch this video when it arrived. My youngest daughter, now two and a half, watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney Channel daily. This movie did not disappoint her one bit. It stays true to the television show’s objective which is intended to help children use specific age-appropriate problem solving skills, such as identifying shapes, counting, and memory in an entertaining way.

My older daughter, the kindergartner, is a huge Disney fan and has enjoyed just about every Disney movie she has seen. Well, maybe not the ones with scary parts, but that wasn’t an issue with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Space Adventure. Space Pirate Pete is the only character up to no good, but before you know it even he becomes friends with the rest of the gang.

Both my daughters loved the special “treats” included with this DVD: a surprise, never-before-seen “Goofy’s Thinking Cap” episode and fun, glow-in-the-dark space-themed stickers! It’s an out-of-this-world package the kids won’t want to miss! 

Released November 8, 2011 as a 2-Disc (DVD + Digital Copy) Combo Pack. Available online and at your favorite retail store. Suggested retail price $19.99 U.S./$24.99 Canada.

Disney’s Winnie The Pooh on Blu-ray & DVD October 25th

October 19, 2011 by Momstart 9 Comments

By Summer

As always the Hundred Acre Wood delivers a heartwarming story of friendship as the gang – Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Eeryore, and Christopher Robin – face hurdles in life. On October 25th you’ll feel more than just a little rumbly in your tummy Pooh style as you hunger for the newest Winnie the Pooh movie on DVD. This newest theatrically featured movie has all of your most loved A.A. Milnes characters in their Disney made-over form on a lost and found hunt. In this tale Eeyore has lost his tail, and Christopher Robin has gone missing. Though Eeroye’s tail is a definite mystery, the friends are sent on a wild goose chance to find him a new one while in the middle of their quest Christopher Robin is captured by the Backson monster. OH BOTHER, what will these friends do?

clip_image002

Who do you know from Winnie the Pooh?

· John Cleese is the Narrator; You’ll know him best for his comedy and from his work in Monty Python.

· Jim Cummings is Winnie the Pooh and Tigger; You may not know his face but you know his voice! Name a Disney movie or show … go ahead, think of one … Yeah, he’s in that!

image

· Craig Ferguson is Owl; Known for his Scottish accent, Ferguson has a current late night show. Your children might recognize his voice from How to Train Your Dragon.

· Tom Kenny is Rabbit; He is also a man of many voices. Think of your favorite non-Disney cartoon, yeah, he’s probably in that.

image

· Bud Luckey is Eeyore; Known more for his work in the animation department (think Pixar), he was also the voice of Chuckles from Toy Story 3 and Agent Rick Dicker from the Incredible.

· And my favorite, Zooey Deschanel as the featured vocalist; You might recognize her unique singing voice from the movie Elf or from her singing career in the indie folk band “She & Him”.

On this new disc there are also two shorts; one is The Ballad of Nessie which was shown in the beginning of the theatrical showing of Winnie the Pooh, and the other is Mini-Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: The Balloon. On the disc you’ll also get deleted scenes, sing-along with the movie to seven featured songs from the film, and song selection of seven other featured tunes.

 

 

My sons love this movie about friendship, but I have to say my 4YO “scaredy-cat” is afraid of the Backson. He’ll bite his nails through the movie hoping the Backson doesn’t get his beloved friends of the Hundred Acre Wood; so he especially hates the end when they show an actual Backson. My “brave” little 2YO however LOVES this movie and wants to restart it as soon as it’s ended! I also adored this Winnie the Pooh movie, and even my husband likes it. Winnie the Pooh is now in our regular movie night rotation!

Mom Start’s Rating of Disney’s Winnie the Pooh: A- (only for all you less than brave souls out there)

You can preorder your copy of Winnie the Pooh on DVD with Blu-Ray with Digital Copy ($28) or without Digital Copy ($25) on Amazon NOW!

NCircle Entertainment Halloween DVD Review Kooky Spooky Halloween & Tricks and Treats

October 16, 2011 by Momstart 4 Comments

By Reviewer Emily:

When October rolls around, I get my TIVO ready to search out all sorts of Halloween programs on television. There are plenty that I can watch after the kids go to bed: Horror movies, creepy ghost documentaries, Halloween themed cooking and decorating shows, etc. However, there isn’t much for my 2 and 5 year old to choose from. At these ages, many of the kid shows are still too scary or they are just a bunch of garbage. When I was given the opportunity to review NCircle Entertainment’s PBS Halloween DVD Line, I was thrilled since my kids and I both love PBS programming. The two DVDs, Kooky Spooky Halloween and Tricks and 100709_Kooky_SpookyTreats, feature two of our favorite PBS Kids’ shows, WordWorld and The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That.

In Kooky Spooky Halloween, the WordFriends get their share of scares the night before Halloween, when Pig sleep walks and everyone thinks he’s a ghost. Then, Sheep is making herself a super special fairy costume to wear for the big Halloween Party. But what will she do when her WordFriends need pieces of her costume for their own use?

Tricks and Treats features The Cat (voice by Martin Short) and his friends Nick, Sally, Fish and the Things. Meet the eeriest critters you have ever seen, arrived just in time for this Halloween! There’ll be lots of tricks and, of course lots of treats, to share with the animal friends you will meet! 100416_tricks_and_treatsThere’s a coconut crab, spider monkeys and bats, and plenty more fun with The Cat in the Hat!

Each DVD is 30 minutes long and are not only fun for getting into the Halloween spirit, but pretty educational as well. The Emmy award-winning WordWorld, uses rhyming, phonetics and spelling in each episode as well as colorful motion graphics to keep both kids and parents entertained. The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That series is just plain fun with the use of classic Dr. Seuss rhyming and silliness. The animation looks like it jumped right from the pages of the well-known books. Both Kooky Spooky Halloween and Tricks and Treats are big hits in our home and two DVDs I don’t mind watching over and over (and over and over) again!

Kooky Spooky Halloween and Tricks and Treats can be found at your local retailer or online, including www.NcircleEntertainment.com. They typically retail for about $6.99 each (but I recently visited NCircle Entertainment’s website and both DVD’s were on sale for $5.99 each). Be sure to also visit NCircle Entertainment on Facebook for a chance to win in their DVD Giveaway.

Word World The Train Escapade

May 9, 2011 by Momstart 1 Comment

I may be a strict mom but my kids are allowed one TV show each per day exceptions made on my sick days and as needed. I let them select from the shows we’re recorded on the DVR or have copies of on DVD.

My 4YO’s favorite is Word World on PBS kids. He is very interested in spelling and reading, and he’s just plan into the entertainment of watching TV. My 21MO who can’t say many words but can say Word Wolds likes to watch the show for the animals and he wants to be just like his big brother. I like letting my boys watch Word World because it offers lessons in friendship and literacy.

clip_image001

Word World just released a new DVD on May 3, The Train Escapade, which offers four episodes and is 60 minutes long.

– You Can Never Have Too Many Oo’s – Monkey’s roof blows off during a storm and he needs to find an /oo/ to rebuild it. He searches Word World with the help of Duck and Kangaroo. (Season 2, Episode 8 )

– Ducks Hiccups – As the Word World friends try and stay cool on a hot day, Duck get the hiccups from drinking lemonade too fast. His Word World friends try to cure him with some /ă/ words. (Season 2, Episode 4)

– Achoo! – Sheep brings Pig peaches instead of apples for making his pies, but Pig is allergic to peaches! What /ă/words will the Word World friends discover before getting Pig his apples. (Season 2, Episode 4)

– Get Well Soon Soup – Pig makes some alphabet soup using all the letters of the alphabet to help Ant get some rest and relaxation. They build many bedrooms items before getting it just right for ant to get better. (Season 2, Episode 5)

We’ve viewed the episode and though they’re been on TV before my son loves watching the episodes again … and again … and again.

A Rainy Day Treat! New Mickey Mote DVD: Minnie’s Masquerade on DVD February 8th.

February 5, 2011 by Momstart 2 Comments

clip_image001Minnie’s Masquerade showed up last week for us to review from Disney’s Home Entertainment PR Company. Zoe opened up and was so excited to get another movie, and her friend was over at the same time. Well, I wasn’t expecting it to come with another really cool Mickey Mote, so I handed it right over to her best friend.

OMG!

You should have seen the look of horror on my daughter’s face and the look of excitement on her friends face.

So I told Zoe, you already have a Mickey Mote and we can go over to Emily’s house to watch Minnie’s Masquerade the next time it rains.

It took 2 days for the rain to return, every day Zoe would say, can we go over to Emily’s house?

No.

But it’s raining outside.

No, it’s cloudy and cold but there is no rain so we have to play outside!

Ummm. but it’s cold.

Put your coat on!

Miles and MommyYou get the idea the kind of conversation I had with her right?

So finally we were able to go over and watch it. Zoe had a great time answering all of the questions during the game mode of the DVD. Some of the questions are just like, pick which color you like, or which type of cookie you want to take along. Then other questions you can actually get wrong which help to teach a lesson of some kind or another.

The game mode is the mode in which you watch the DVD where the remote actually interacts with the episode. The episode will pause and then a question will pop up. The kids have to choose one of the shapes and corresponding color to answer the question. Then the episode will resume with your choice!

Miles sat and watched the entire thing. Zoe played with the remote for a while during the episodes, but I think she only watched the first one! As this is a Masquerade party, the kids are encouraged to get up and dance with Mickey and Minnie, Also, there is a mask included in the box.

Minnie’s Masquerade Ball Synopsis:

Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Daisy – takes viewers on an all new adventure as they dress-up in their favorite costumes for  Minnie’s Masquerade Ball.  In this episode, Minnie needs some help getting everything ready for her party including making royal crowns for their costumes, searching for Sir Goofalot’s lost shoe, stringing up paper lanterns and much, much more. At the ball, Professor Von Drake hosts the great Clubhouse Costume Show and gives out prize ribbons to all the friends who have dressed up in some funny and fancy costumes.  All it takes is a heaping helping of imagination…and the right Mouseketools. 

Now that I have really seen the remote in action I can say it’s pretty cool that the kids can interact with their favorite show. Both Zoe and Miles love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and if we had cable I think we would watch it all the time. We received a copy of this DVD for review purposes.

LeapFrog DVD’s The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park and LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy Giveaway

January 20, 2011 by Momstart 333 Comments

LF_AAAP_ocard1.inddI probably let my kids watch way too much TV. I grew up watching TV and so do they. But, we only watch DVD’s which allows me to have a huge amount of control over what they watch. One of my favorites out of all the DVD’s we have are from LeapFrog, so I get quite excited when they launch new DVD’s, games or video games. Earlier last week, two new DVD’s arrived on my doorstep courtesy of Lionsgate: LeapFrog: The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park and LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy. LeapFrog: The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park and LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy were released on January 18, 2011, for the suggested retail price of $14.98 each.  Both titles are also be available on Digital Download.

My kids really do learn from these DVD’s that LeapFrog puts out.

In The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park the kids were singing little a, big a, little b big b. The other day, I put this on for Miles while Zoe was in preschool and he started singing and he looked at me and said, “Come on, sing with me”.

“Mom, sing!”

So, of course I had to sing with him!

LeapFrog Numbers Ahoy_BoxArtThe Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park (Ages 3-6): When their firefly friend, Edison, takes Tad, Lily and Scout to the place of his childhood dreams, the gang is shocked to discover that Alistair Alphabelly’s Amazing Amusement Park is… closed! To make matters worse, Edison has gotten himself stuck atop the Fantastical Ferris Wheel. The only way to save him is to turn on the rides in the park with the magic of the alphabet. Now the children must learn all of the letters, big and small, to save their friend, save the day and perhaps even meet the rhyme master himself, Alistair Alphabelly!

I actually didn’t watch this one, and Zoe kept saying: there is a bad guy on this one, but he’s not too scary, and I kept telling her she was wrong, then finally I realized he was a bad guy because he captured Scout, but he wasn’t too scary, just like Zoe said!

LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy SYNOPSIS
Numbers Ahoy (Ages 3-6): Tad and Lily need a little number sense to help them get through a complicated game. So their magical firefly friend, Edison, takes them on a fantastical journey under the sea! When a pirate mistakenly captures their cute puppy pal Scout, they must use their new understanding of counting, grouping and estimating to rescue him. Join them as they navigate the deep and face foes such as sharks, crab henchmen—even Pirate Pythagoras himself—and begin to see numbers in a whole new way!

Pajama Party: Featuring Curious George 2: Follow that Monkey DVD #giveaway

February 24, 2010 by Momstart 590 Comments

curiousgeorge Universal Studios sent my family a copy of Curious George 2: Follow that Monkey to preview before it comes out next week. Can you believe that next week is March? Both of my children were excited to watch Curious George, it was my son that took the DVD from me first and that’s usually his sister’s job.

 

 

We watched it as our evening family movie, as I’ve cut almost all of our daytime tv. As I sat down to watch it I didn’t expect to enjoy it; I was pleasantly surprised. I found it to be silly and was laughing along with my children. That silly mischievous monkey. No wait, Ted would say, “He’s curious, very curious!”.

George finds out that there is a circus in town and he really wants to go because there is an elephant in it. Kayla is a cute blue baby elephant and she really is blue. She’s homesick for her family. George understand her pain and wants to see her smile, so he takes off on a coast-to-coast journey with Ted barely able to keep up. Follow that monkey features an all-star voice talent including Tim Curry (“The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius,” Home Alone 2: Lost in New York), Jamie Kennedy (Kickin’ It Old School, Malibu’s Most Wanted), Matt Lauer (“Today Show”), Frank Welker (“Curious George” TV series, “Futurama,”) and comedy legend Jerry Lewis, plus music from legendary songwriter Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

The music is child like and soft and captivated my daughter from beginning to end. It’s a great movie to enjoy as a family and sure to leave a smile on everyone’s face.
