Boo!  Kitty!  Can you believe it’s been 11 years since the beloved tale of Monsters, Inc. was released?!  Where does the time go?  I loved so many of the lines in that movie, we still regularly yell out “2319” when a sock goes missing from the laundry.

Fairy tales never grow old.  They can be retold a thousand times and there is always another way to tell them.  As of late, the big screen have been showing many more ‘live action’ versions of our favorites, and many of them with a bit darker of a twist than the animated versions usually offer.

“Where’s Perry?”

That is the ultimate question of Phineas and Ferb, as it seems whenever they turn their backs, their pet platypus has disappeared! 

How many of you love Marlin and Dory as much as I do?! A whole new generation of kids can enjoy the adventures of “Finding Nemo” because on September 14th, Disney is bringing it back to the big screen in spectacular 3D and then it will be released for the first time ever in high-definition Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and Digitally on December 4th. The bonus features on the DVD are going to include a host of interactive items including 3D/2D virtual aquariums.

When it comes to making movies, Disney is always out in full force as you can tell from my blog postings this week!

August 15th will see the release of “The Odd Life of Timothy Green”, which is a drama/comedy movie. It has a PG rating.

For anyone who reads my blog regularly, well you’ll know that Disney has a special place in our hearts.  The magic of Disney doesn’t end just because you grow up – pixie dust is for all ages and that’s where Disney’s D23: The Official Disney Fan Club comes in.

Edgar Rice Burroughs is mainly remembered today as the man who wrote “Tarzan”, but The Princess of Mars series (which is what John Carter is based on) is in my opinion one of his ultimate works.

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton (WALL•E) “John Carter” is an adaptation of Burroughs’ books, the sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars).  The movie isn’t spot-on with the books, as it combines portions of three of the books into one movie, so you’ll notice some combining of sorts.  Regardless it holds true to Burroughs’ general theme and story.

We saw a trailer for this new Disney movie coming out October 5th. It is done by Tim Burton, who is very well known for his somewhat “macabre” creativity when it comes to directing.

What seems to make this stop-motion animated film unique is that it was filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D. I wasn’t sure when we saw the trailer if the black and white was just a “marketing” gimmick, but it looks like it wasn’t. I’m interested in seeing how that will go over with the young’uns.
