Elle Fanning is one of my favorite young actresses. She has been so successful and I’m excited to see LEAP! because of her, even though she’s only voicing one of the characters. LEAP! is about an 11-year old orphan, Felicie who has only one dream, to go to Paris and become a dancer. Her best friend is also creative, he is an imaginative but exhausting boy with a passion for creating. Victor’s dream is to become a famous inventor. These two decide to follow their dreams and they run away from their orphanage to pursue their passions. However, Felicie quickly learns that talent alone is not enough. Of course she’s not one to give up because she is quite determined so she finds a mentor. Odette is a tough and mysterious custodian, who along with Victor’s encouraging friendship help her. Together they will inspire your whole family to reach for the stars.

I can’t wait to see it myself and I’m really excited by this new trailer. Check out the brand NEW trailer from The Weinstein Company’s LEAP!, featuring Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit song from the soundtrack, “Cut To The Feeling.”

The entire cast captures the spirit and humor of the story and the music will have you dancing all the way home!

Make sure to get your tickets early!

LEAP! opens in theaters nationwide on August 30th and stars in addition to Elle Fanning, Nat Wolff and Maddie Ziegler alongside Mel Brooks, Kate McKinnon and Carly Rae Jepsen.

LeapTV Get it Now #LeapTV

September 2, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

This post is part of a sponsored campaign with LeapFrog & MomSelect.

Kids need to get some activity in their lives, even when all they want to do is watch TV. And as parents we hate to use the TV as a baby sitter to get a few things done but sometimes, it has to be done. LeapTV has an answer to get minds and bodies moving it’s called LeapTV!

Check it out!

When my kids were little we watched the LeapFrog DVD’s over and over again. I was convinced that they were going to learn and they did. They learned a lot. They learned basic phonics, numbers and sequences. The songs were so catch I found myself singing along with them.

I’m super excited for this new console to come out. You can pre-order LeapTV now!

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

I 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!

The 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!
