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.

New Kids Remote Control Playhouse Disney Mickey Mote & DVD Sets

November 12, 2010 by Momstart 5 Comments

My children Zoe and Miles love to watch Playhouse Disney. We don’t have cable so our only opportunity to watch it is by DVD, or the occasional visit to grandma’s house. They are also very familiar with technology and can operate any remote in the house. However, they can recognize when something is special or meant for them. Disney created the New Mickey Mote and sent us one to review along with two compatible movies. You’ll be surprised to find that we did actually have a little trouble setting up the remote. The reason for that is because we couldn’t find an actual remote with an IR signal to the DVD player directly. Why, because we have been using a universal remote for all of our devices for over a year and we’ve moved within that time. We tired to use the universal remote to program the Mickey Mote but it failed. So while my husband is looking for the right kind of remote Zoe, Miles and I went ahead and watched the DVDs, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Numbers & Rounds, and Handy Manny Big Construction Job Review.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Numbers & Rounds Review:

clip_image001[4] Zoe and Miles both enjoyed watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Numbers & Rounds, I even heard both of them counting. If I remember correctly it was watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse where Miles first learned how to count.

How To Set Up Your Mickey Mote

Quick Set Up Guide_Mickey Mote

First you need to put a battery in the remote, it does not come with one so you’ll need to find some AAA batteries. Then  you will need to turn on the remote by pressing and holding down any two buttons until the green light between the ears comes on. Then you need to place the Mickey Mote flat on a surface with a DVD remote control facing it also on the flat surface, about three inches apart. Press the UP button on the DVD remote 4 times slowly. After each of your first 3 presses the green light on the MICKEY MOTE will go off – then come back on. Then after the fourth press, the green light will flash quickly, and then turn off and come back on. Then repeat the steps for each of the other buttons with the corresponding action from the DVD remote control. See photo for a guide.

clip_image001How The Mickey Mote Works:

On November 16th Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release the Mickey Mote! The Mickey Mote works with any Disney Preschool DVD that includes Discovery Mode(tm), the interactive "Watch & Play" feature on the DVD!  All parents have to do is program the remote control – there’s an easy and quick set-up guide in each DVD- and select the Discovery Mode feature on the menu screen.  Within minutes, kids will be easily responding to questions, throughout the story, about scenes they just watched (such as "What color is Goofy’s hat?") by pressing one of four color-coded buttons on the device — a yellow star, green circle, orange triangle or blue square – to click in their responses.  Discovery Mode features include two levels of play, which provides more challenging questions as the child grows.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Bow-tique Review

February 4, 2010 by Momstart 4 Comments

clip_image001My son has always been the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fan in the house. He has a Mickey Mouse Doll, a Minnie Mouse Doll, a Pluto Doll. There is just something about that song Hot Dog. You know, Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog, Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog, Come inside it’s fun inside. He just gets up and starts dancing at the end of every episode. Miles tries to move his hands like Mickey Mouse does. He’s just adorable. Miles also likes to repeat the words “OH Toodles”.  On Tuesday February 9th Walt Disney Studios will release MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE: MINNIE’S BOW-TIQUE on DVD! We were sent an early copy of this to write a review of it. This new release features four Minnie-themed stories including a never-before-seen episode and a fun Minnie magnet bow frame. ‘Minnie’s Pajama Party,’ and ‘Minnie’s Bee Story,’ include Disney’s Adventure Mode – an interactive game using the remote control with multiple play levels.

My daughter just loves the bow frame and magnet set, she ripped that right up and took it to the fridge. We just receive a new fridge and it’s actually magnetic. So happy about that. That started about an hour of playtime with her brother without the TV.

MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE: MINNIE’S BOW-TIQUE

All of the episodes on this DVD are about Minnie Mouse. She is the best party host, always thinking about her friends and their needs.

Minnie’s Bow-tique

This is a new episode that will air in April. It’s the grand opening of Minnie’s Bow-tique, a store jam-packed with every kind of bow and bowtie imaginable. The selections include: the "Glow-Bow", a bow that changes color with every mood; the "Grow-Bow", a bow that grows to tremendous size by just adding water; flying "Butterfly-Bows"; and a "Photo-Bow" that snaps instant pictures. Problems arise when Pete, embarrassed about buying a lady’s bow for his favorite aunt, causes a few accidental mishaps in the new store. However, super salesperson Minnie finds the perfect bow for Pete. The Bow-tique’s grand opening is a success – and it all ends in a Big Bow Show with the Clubhouse gang modeling the latest fashions under the biggest bow of all, a colorful, sky-high Rain-Bow.

Minnie’s Bee Story

In Minnie’s Bee Story they all set out looking for their friend Bee, they encounter the Professor and Donald does not behave very well. He tries to catch bee with a net, but in the end they are all friends.

Minnie’s Picnic

Minnie wants to have a picnic on the new Mickey Mouse picnic grounds. They grab all the supplies they need for 12 friends, load up Toodles and off they go. Of course when they get there they run into all kinds of trouble. Well, you know the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, it’s not really trouble it’s more like, oops, how do we fix or accomplish this. Great beginning to problem solving skills for your children.

Minnie’s Pajama Party* (Never-before-seen episode until 4/6/10)

Minnie and the girls set up a fun Pajama Party sleepover for the day – but it’s not as easy as it sounds, especially with the addition of Pete and Willie the Giant! When Willie the Giant comes they have to move the party outside. In this episode they learn how to divide things into equal parts amount all of their friends. First Minnie starts with a pie and then it’s the clubhouse. Each friend gets their own space to sleep.
