DVD Review: Prep & Landing

This holiday season lacks original Christmas programming. It’s either a repeat from 1977 or a holiday spinoff of a popular movie from 10 years ago. Thankfully Prep & Landing is neither one of those. Though it originally aired in 2009, it’s the exception to the rule. Entertaining for both kids and parents, I liked it [...]

PBS Kids Rocks! featuring Ozomatli

My love of Ozomatli is well documented. As I sit and wait patiently for the formal release of an Ozokids album, they are kind enough to tease us with just enough to tide me over. First it was the Happy Feet 2 Video game Soundtrack and now it’s 4 songs on the just released PBS [...]

DVD Review & Giveaway: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse – Space Adventure

As the parent of a two year old, it should come as no surprise that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a morning staple in our household. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Space Adventure has been available on my cable’s “OnDemand” feature for a month or two now, but it’s finally getting a proper DVD release. Space Adventure follows [...]

DVD review: “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam – Extended Edition” Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Combo Pack

Posted by Scott Malchus on September 20, 2010 · Leave a Comment

As if you need my opinion to tell you whether or not Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam- Extended Edition is worth your kids’ time. I’m sure they’re already clamoring to get the DVD after seeing the premiere on Disney Channel over Labor Day. But guess what, this is one film that actually exceeds the original both in content, production value, and musical numbers. Whereas the original Camp Rock felt like a blatant attempt to ride the coattails of the... Read More

Blu-ray Review: “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure”

Posted by Jeff Giles on October 27, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It may have taken Disney more than 50 years to give Peter Pan’s spunky sidekick her own feature, but now that they’ve kicked off the Tinker Bell film franchise, they’re through fooling around: Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure arrives only a year after 2008′s Tinker Bell, and comes complete with the kind of top-shelf voice cast (including a cameo from Anjelica Huston) and big-budget extras (including a score performed by an...

DVD Review: “Sonny with a Chance: Sonny’s Big Break”

Sonny with a Chance: Sonny’s Big Break (2009, Disney) purchase from Amazon: DVD Disney’s Sonny with a Chance is cut from the same cloth as the mouse house’s other tween sitcoms: bright, pretty young ingénue thrown into a crazy situation and surrounded by an ensemble of wacky supporting characters. In this case, the female star is Demi Lovato; the budding young music star that also has appeared in the Disney hit films, Rock Camp and Princess... Read More

DVD Review: “Princess Protection Program”

Posted by Scott Malchus on July 7, 2009 · 2 Comments

Princess Protection Program (2009, Disney) purchase from Amazon: DVD When the DVD for Disney’s latest, Princess Protection Program arrived at the house, my daughter could hardly contain herself. The constant ads on the Disney Channel and the casting of TV stars Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place) and Demi Lovato (Sonny with a Chance) made it seem like this film was going to be a tweenage masterpiece, or at least something fun. On a Sunday morning... Read More
