One of my all time favorite Halloween movies is Hocus Pocus. I remember watching this when I was a little girl and I have now shared it with my young daughters. They love it just as much as I did – especially Binx. Recently I came across a “Binx Is My Spirit Animal” shirt at the Disney Store and I so need it. This is a must see Halloween movie that truly stands up against the test of time. I feel so old realizing that it first came out 25 years ago. WOW! The anniversary edition is now available on blu-ray with some amazing bonus features.

Avengers: Infinity War was released this week on digital, and is coming home to DVD and Blu-ray on August 14th. I have said it many times before but one of my favorite things about purchasing a film like this is the bonus features. Deleted scenes, gag reels, and commentary really give you a feel for the movie that you didn’t have before. So when I was sent Infinity War, before even watching the movie again, I tackled the bonus features. Now I am going to tell you if they are worth the watch.

Trust me, I wish more than anything that I was going to be attending San Diego Comic-Con this year. Unfortunately it falls at the same time as a really important family event, so I am going to have to miss it. The only thing that makes this OK for me is that I know Marvel is not going to be doing any panels there. It kind of makes it an OK year for me, as a huge Marvel fan, to miss. Although I know there will be some pretty amazing announcements from DC, Warner Bros, and so much more. But just let me think I won’t be missing anything. Please.

One of my all time favorite Disney movies is Lady and the Tramp. I have seen it more times than I can count and was thrilled to hear that it joined the highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection. Every member of the family will treasure this timeless tale – loaded with three versions of the film, classic bonus material and three all-new features -when it heads home on February 27th. Lady and the Tramp is the sixth title to join the Walt Disney Signature Collection, which includes groundbreaking films created or inspired by the imagination and legacy of Walt Disney, featuring timeless stories and characters that have touched generations. The film takes its place alongside Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, Bambi, and The Lion King.

Pete’s Dragon is a reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film centered on an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon. Families will be captivated by this magical movie followed by never-before-seen bonus features, including a revealing look at director David Lowery’s personal diary kept during the filming of “Pete’s Dragon,” the design process behind the lovable dragon Elliot, deleted scenes, a tour of the film’s breathtaking production location of New Zealand, audio commentary by filmmakers and actors and hilarious bloopers.

Being a mom of two young girls, nothing is more important to me than education. My girls have a lot of toys and games, but we try to make the majority of them educational ones. My husband is an engineer and so STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) are at the forefront of our priorities. This list of gifts for kids is filled with great educational options – that the whole family will love!

Mama Smith and Women and Their Pretties want to help you give your kids a great holiday this year. There are so many toys and games out there, it can be hard to find the perfect ones to put under your tree. We have taken a look at many of the options, and have come up with a list of 40 gifts we think any kid will love to find under their tree this year!

You may remember Nikki DeLoach as a child member of The Mickey Mouse Club, along with Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and Keri Russell! She stars in one of the fantastic celebrity YouTube PSAs promoting the Peanuts Rocks the Vote campaign! As a Peanuts Ambassador, I was lucky enough to get the chance to talk with her on the phone about the Peanuts Rock the Vote Campaign! I learned a lot about this campaign (and went right to the website with my daughters after getting off the phone).

I grew up watching Beauty and the Beast over and over and over. Belle has always been my favorite princess – I am pretty sure this is because I could always be found with my nose in a book. I have shared my VHS copy with my young daughters numerous times and am now so excited to be able to share the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray edition with them! Talk about a difference in quality – WOW! It is like I am watching a whole new movie. This movie is now one of their favorite Disney movies and they ask to watch it often (proud Mama moment right there!). Along with the movie, there are many awesome bonus features on this blu-ray disk – and I can’t wait to tell you all about them!

Twenty-five years ago, Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” broke ground as the first animated feature film to receive an Academy Award nomination for best picture, and now this tale as old as time joins the Walt Disney Signature Collection on Sept. 6 on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere, and on Sept. 20 on Blu-ray and DVD. I grew up watching this movie more times than I can count. It has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. Belle is still my favorite princess because you could always find me with my nose in a book. I was so excited to hear that Disney is coming out with a reimagined version of this film (read more on that here) and I cannot wait to take my daughters to the live action version in the theater. I am thrilled that Beauty And The Beast will finally be available on Blu-ray and I cannot wait to pick up my copy this September! The bonus features sound amazing!
