*We were given a fun Ugly Dolls box of goodies for purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions remain our own!*
The other week we received a UglyDolls party kit to host a movie night over the weekend. So many fun things were included to make it even more special. There was even a certificate of adoption to seal the deal that the UglyDolls were our own to love and care for now. To celebrate our new family members, we ate kettle popcorn with M&M’s and other candy while watching the movie and playing with the UglyDolls. Their uniqueness is what makes them so darn cute and loveable. You can easily host a party of your own! Just get your favorite movie snacks grab the family and enjoy (and adopt an UglyDoll of own to make it even more special ;))!
Remember PEZ? Yep! They have UglyDolls PEZ! Perfect for movie night!
I didn’t know what my niece would think of the UglyDolls since she is still so young (7 months) but she absolutely loved them! She gave Moxy a BIG hug and kiss right away. It was A-DOR-ABLE.
Giving Moxy a BIG hug, then a kiss.
The Sing-Along edition was so fun. If you have this Moxy UglyDoll it even comes with a microphone and your kids could use that to sing along with the movie and all their other UglyDoll friends!
Singing and dancing, celebrating our weirdness and uniqueness!
The Lion King is to this day, one of my favorite Disney films. From the beautiful soundtrack to the lovable characters, everything about the film is just excellent. When I found out that they were creating a live-action for the movie I just about freaked. The beautiful animals were going to be seen on screen like never before, and the fantastic songs were going to be sung once again.
I was lucky enough to see the film a few days before the general public and develop my opinions, which we’re all amazing. The first thing I noticed about the film was the beautiful scenery. The whole movie was done using CGI and animation technology, and if you didn’t know that, you could have never guessed. Everything looked as if you could reach out and feel the textures off of the screen.
Also, the talent in the film was phenomenal. Not only were there singer/songwriters, but also amazing actors and actresses. Some of them included Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Donald Glover, Seth Rogan, and so many more. To make the film even better, there is a brand new song that is sung by Beyonce. I won’t spoil anything for you, but I can tell you that you will absolutely love it.
The songs were sung once again, and I felt my heart swell when I heard them. These songs were a part of my childhood and hearing them resung by the amazing talent that is a massive part of modern music made me feel like I could relate to the film in a more modern aspect.
The story of the Lion King is the classic original tale, but with the interpretation comes new and old. We get the same characters and the same story, but the emotions and the way it looks on the screen are entirely different.
The funniest thing in the film was the Pumbaa and Timon duo. They kept the pair of jokesters and had me laughing throughout the entire movie. There were multiple points where I couldn’t hear the dialogue because of all the laughter in the audience. The characters couldn’t have been better.
The all-new Lion King is out in theaters now. You and your family will absolutely love this new film and all it has to offer.
Dumbo is Home On Digital, 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and Movies Anywhere Now!
By Erin
Everyone’s favorite flying elephant DUMBO, is the latest Disney classic to be turned into a grand live-action adventure and done beautifully by visionary director Tim Burton. Expanding on the beloved animated classic, spirits are sent soaring. Fall in love again with this heartfelt story as it swoops into homes on Digital in HD and 4K Ultra HD and Movies Anywhere, and physically on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD – with never-before-seen bonus features, deleted scenes, bloopers and more!
Stunning extras will transport viewers to the set of “Dumbo,” where cast members Danny DeVito (circus owner Max Medici), Michael Keaton (opportunistic businessman V.A. Vandevere), Colin Farrell (war-veteran-turned-elephant-keeper Holt Farrier), Eva Green (stunning aerialist Colette Marchant), Nico Parker (Farrier’s daughter, Milly) and Finley Hobbins (Farrier’s son, Joe) share their personal stories of courage and character. Features explore how Disney’s timeless animated story was brought to life with an incredibly expressive, lovable, fully computer-generated baby elephant; the longtime collaboration of Burton, production designer Rick Heinrichs and costume designer Colleen Atwood, which resulted in jaw-dropping sets and costumes; and the creation of the visually colossal Dreamland parade sequence. Also included are nine deleted scenes, hidden and not-so-hidden Easter eggs, bloopers and a special performance of “Baby Mine” by Arcade Fire.
In “Dumbo,” struggling circus owner Max Medici enlists former star Holt Farrier and his children to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive but sinister entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere, who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, spectacular, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.
“Dumbo” will be released in several different formats, giving families the flexibility to watch it on a variety of devices. Viewers can watch the film in Digital 4K UHD, HD and SD, and bring home a physical copy of the film as the 4K Ultra HD Edition (4K UHD, Blu-ray and Digital Code), Multi-Screen Edition (Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Code) and a single DVD.
