Welcome to another #TwoBlogsFunGuides event! We are presenting the 2016 Easter Gift Guide which is all part of the 2016 Spring Guide Series! We have a little bit of everything on this guide for your loved ones. Maybe you usually only shop for the kids, but you want to switch it up this year. We have some great gift ideas here that you may not have thought of yet.
I visited Animal Kingdom for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Well, I visited when I was on a class trip in middle school, but that doesn’t count because I don’t remember anything but the Tigger notebook that I bought (and still have). Needless to say, I walked into Animal Kingdom with new eyes and an entirely new kind of excitement.
Sometimes the best way to teach children is through play. With certain topics and subjects, it can be a lot easier to approach them by referencing a movie or a show that they love. BLING delivers an incredible example of how important loyalty is in every area of your life. I found it interesting that the story was about adults and not children, which I think is a nice change.
What do you expect when you walk out of a Disney movie? Our expectations are usually measured by our past experiences. My experience with Disney movies has definitely become more enjoyable throughout the years. I’ve always loved Disney, but my expectations have obviously changed. As a child, it was all about the imagination. As an adult, I want to walk out of a Disney movie feeling real emotion. Zootopia surprised everyone by delicately touching on sensitive subjects without preaching or offending anyone. Those important messages, mixed with the witty comedy, and incredibly detailed animation, made for a film that I will watch over and over again. There are so many reasons to watch Zootopia as an adult, parent, or child.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens shattered box office records upon its debut to become the cinematic event of a generation with over $926 million domestic and $2.05 billion worldwide. As announced this morning by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Iger at The Walt Disney Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the epic movie will be available soon!
I am so obsessed with Ellen Degeneres. I watched her show every day and she’s just hilarious! She isn’t a punch line comedian. She’s just naturally funny. Just hearing her voice makes me giggle. I cannot express to you how excited I am about Finding Dory! This trailer makes me even more excited and impatient. Ahh, be ready to giggle. I’ve had to watch it two times, back to back.
It’s no secret that Disney likes to place hidden gems, also known as “Easter Eggs” in their movies. You know, like Goofy and Donald’s appearance in the crowd during King Triton’s entrance in The Little Mermaid. Another popular gem is Aladdin’s carpet in the opening of The Princess and The Frog. There are a ton of inside jokes that only adults, or maybe only the creators, would understand. I think that we all walked into the Zootopia screening looking for an underlying message or a hidden gem. Some were more cryptic than others, but they definitely exist. The ones that we didn’t catch, the Zootopia Directors and Producers filled us in on.
