I didn’t see Wreck-It Ralph in the theaters and I still haven’t let my almost 4 year old watch it. While a highly enjoyable movie, I wouldn’t recommend it for the under 5 crowd. But holy cow, is it fun for anyone above that age. The attention to detail throughout the movie is ridiculous. The filmmakers made sure that every single die hard video game fan would find something to smile about. At times it felt like I was watching a cartoon version of the television show Community with all the pop-culture references and meta jokes. It successfully appeals to die hard gamers and casual observers like myself. The movie follows the tale of Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly), the bad guy from a game called Fix-It Felix.

The music and lyrics by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman were second to none. “Under the Sea” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls” are all-time classics. They were memorable songs in 1989 and are just as memorable today. Disney announced today they will be releasing ‘The Little Mermaid’ October 1st on Blu-ray DVD. This is the first Disney release of The Little Mermaid on DVD since 2006. Check out the trailer

Here’s the deal, fathers. If you have daughters—or sons who don’t care about outmoded gender roles (and if so, good on you, man)—there is a 90 percent chance that at some point during your day, you’re going to have to watch something with unicorns in it. The key is to find a unicorn-based entertainment which your picky-as-to-unicorns children and you, a reasonable adult, can watch together and enjoy as much as possible. It’s actually not that hard. My Little Pony – Friendship is Magic: Royal Pony Wedding comes out on DVD from SHout! Kids on August 7. A two-hour length special miniseries of five episodes from the shockingly popular, actually pretty hip and funny The Hub channel’s 2010 reboot of the fanciful ’80s series, it’s both unicorn heavy (the way MLP always should have been!)

I’ve reached the point where I’ve stopped watching most trailers, because A) my kids won’t be quiet long enough for me to hear anything and B) every movie gets at least half a dozen of the damn things before it reaches theaters, so if you want to be surprised by anything that happens during the film, paying attention to trailers doesn’t pay. And yet here’s a teaser for the long-awaited prequel to Monsters Inc., featuring our pals Mike and Sulley during their college days: Short and sweet, just like a trailer should be. Monsters University is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 20,
