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!

And 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.

The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones is coming to DVD on June 14

June 11, 2011 by Momstart 3 Comments

Today you might notice that I’ve been spending the day remembering Saturday morning cartoons. Of course, the cartoons as I remember came on Sunday mornings too, and during different days of the week, just depends on whose house I was staying at while I was growing up, mom or dads. I would watch the Flintstones and the Jetsons all the time, and when they combined them in a movie, I was ecstatic, and not disappointed. Now you can relive your memories of watching The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones as Warner Brothers is releasing this cute movie of the future meeting the past on DVD.

It’s the wackiest animated adventure of all space-time when the world’s favorite Modern Stone Age Family comes face to face with the First Family of the Future in a matchup that only Hanna-Barbera Studios can delightfully make possible! Thanks to Elroy’s malfunctioning tie machine, the Flintstones and Rubbles are zapped into the robot-run future while the Jetsons suddenly find themselves in the dinosaur-filed past. Can our fearless families adapt? And more importantly, will they ever get back home? Find out – in a time-hopping animated feature-length romp packed with all the gags, gadgets and nonstop fun unleashed when The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones.

As I’m sitting here with my husband writing up this review, he got all excited because he too remembers when The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones came out at the movie theater. He actually saw it in the theater. See, I can’t remember if I was watching this at my mom’s house or if we went to see it in the theater. We probably rented it. It’s the perfect combination of two classic cartoons. Picture Fred Flintstone in a flying car with a maid, and George Jetson without his luxury. It’s a really cute movie and it’s quite fun to reminisce.

Own The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones on DVD June 14th.

Dallas The Movie Collection Review

April 16, 2011 by Momstart Leave a Comment

Dallas: The Movie Collection came out on DVD April 12th. I received a copy to watch and loved that it had footage on it that I had never seen before. I’ve watched many of the movies from Dallas in the past, I’ve seen J. R. Returns, The War of the Ewings and I loved watching Return to Southfork. Return to Southfork brought the actors all together and they discussed what it was like working together and what their favorite scenes were. It was full of footage from years of Dallas. I’m mean, Dallas was awesome in it’s day running from 1978, two years before I was even born to 1991 where I had the chance to actually watch it for a few years. I’m sure I’ve seen many more episodes than I can possibly remember because my WHOLE family watched Dallas. My mom loved it, and my granny and papa on my Dad’s side had it on every Friday night. (I think it came on Friday nights) Anyways, I was allowed to watch it as a kid. Not sure I would let my kids watch it, but Dallas is a lot better than the crap on T.V. now.

Dallas: The Movie Collection Synopsis: Big D gets even bigger with three movies and a cast reunion! From 1978 to 1991, the TV series Dallas grew legions of fans with compulsively watchable tales of greed, sex and schemes – most masterminded by smilin’ J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman), the double-dealing oilman folks love to hate. Dallas was so popular, it also spawned the four exciting pieces in this special collection, starting with a prequel (The Early Years) that sets the stage for the drama to come. The other three, starring Hagman and more beloved cast members, include reunion movies (J. R. Returns, The War of the Ewings) that plunge a wheeling-dealing J.R. into plots to take over Ewing Oil and a fascinating retrospective (Return to Southfork) brimming with clips, outtakes, and reminiscences from your favorite Dallas stars.

Check out this clip from Dallas: The Movie Collection.

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

February 5, 2011 by Momstart 2 Comments

Minnie’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!

You 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.
