Spidey and His Amazing Friends now available on DVD

Thank you to our sponsor for the complimentary DVD.

Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends, an animated series that started airing on Disney Junior earlier this year, is now on a DVD.  Our favorite animated superhero Spidey teams up with his superhero friends in 12 action-packed episodes, providing over 2 hours of family-friendly entertainment!  The DVD also includes 11 bonus shorts for more superhero fun.

My sons are big fans of Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends.  My mom started recording the episodes on the Disney Junior channel earlier this year, and my sons would always look forward to visiting their grandma so that they could watch Spidey and His Amazing Friends.

Now they can watch Spidey and His Amazing Friends at home on our DVD player, now that we have the DVD!

Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends follows the adventures of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales as they team up with Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Blank Panther to defeat the bad guys like Rhino, Doc Ock, and Green Goblin.  

I love this DVD because it the stories are funny, easy to understand for my sons, and also teach important life lessons like teamwork and being good citizens.

There is a lot of funny parts, and I often hear my sons laughing while they're watching the episodes.

My sons also get easily spooked, but not when they're watching Spidey and His Amazing Friends. The episodes are not scary at all, and I can let them watch with confidence that they won't get nightmares or learn bad habits or words.

Each DVD includes the following episodes:

Spidey to the Power of Three

Panther Pateince

Super Hero Hiccups

Lost and Found

Doc Ock’s Super Octopus

Attack of the Green Giggles

Mother’s Day Mayhem

Not-So-Fun House

Spidey Mystery

A Helping Hulk

Spidey Surprise

It's perfect for family nights at home, or road trips (if your car is equipped with a DVD player or you have a portable one).

Review - Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Available on DVD on September 11, 2018 Exclusively at Walmart

Disclosure: Complimentary product was received for review purposes.

"No job's too big no pup's too small ... 

Mighty Pups, they're on a roll!"

Nickelodeon's PAW Patrol embarks on their biggest mission yet, in a brand new movie called PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups, and you can see it first on DVD before it airs on TV by heading to your local Walmart store and picking up the DVD on September 11, 2018. 

My boys, who are huge fans of PAW Patrol, were ecstatic when we received our copy of this all-new TV movie in the mail. Who wouldn't be excited about 44-minutes of uninterrupted PAW Patrol action with no commercials?! 

In this high-flying, heroic mission, the PAW Patrol are given Mighty Pup powers after a mysterious meteor lands in Adventure Bay. When Mayor Humdinger and his nephew trap Ryder and steal the meteor to take over the city, the pups must work together and use their new powers-- from Chase's super speed to Marshall's mighty heat, Rubble's super strength and more-- to race to the rescue and save the day.

We have been watching this DVD almost daily since its arrival.  Each of my sons has their favorite character (one likes Chase, the other likes Marshall), and they are amazed at the super powers the pups acquire after the meteor strikes Adventure Bay. 

PAW Patrol is one of the few shows that can capture both of my sons' attention, and PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups is no exception. For parents, movies like this is a god-send, because it gives you the opportunity to do whatever you need to do while your kids are watching the show.  But in actuality, the movie is entertaining for adults as well (it has a lot of funny parts!) and often times I end up watching it with my sons instead of getting my chores done!

PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups will be available exclusively at Walmart on September 11, 2018 on DVD. Each DVD purchased at Walmart comes with a digital copy on Vudu ahead of its TV debut (you will need your Walmart receipt in order to access the digital copy on Vudu).

Suggested retail price: $17.99.

Walt Disney Animation's Peter Pan Now Available on Digital and Movies Anywhere

Disclosure: Complimentary product was received for review purposes.

We've just expanded our Blu-ray collection with the Anniversary Edition of Peter Pan.

Our family enjoyed watching this beloved classic.  Watching Peter Pan and the Darling children, while singing along throughout the movie, is something we can never tire of.  I love the positive messages about never giving up, staying positive, and having faith and trust.  The numerous bonus features make the movie even more magical!

Walt Disney Animation's Peter Pan is now available on Digital and Movies Anywhere, and on Blu-ray June 5.

About the Anniversary Edition of Peter Pan:

The Walt Disney Signature Collection edition of “Peter Pan” invites adventures of all ages to believe in magic once again and experience a timeless treasure from Disney’s golden age of animation that has stirred the hearts and imaginations of moviegoers worldwide since its original 1953 release. The Signature Collection edition offers over two hours of classic bonus features plus never-before-seen extras, including the latest installment of “Stories from Walt’s Office,” which explores Walt’s love of flying and the company planes; a nostalgic reunion between Kathryn Beaumont (the voice of Wendy) and Paul Collins (the voice of John); and new “Oke” renditions of the classic song “You Can Fly” and deleted song “Never Smile at a Crocodile” accompanied by on-screen lyrics and the film’s unforgettable animated characters.

In “Peter Pan,” fantastic adventures await the Darling children—Wendy, John and Michael—when Peter Pan, the hero of their stories, whisks them away to the magical world of Never Land.  After flying with Peter and the delightfully impish Tinker Bell past the “second star to the right and straight on till morning,” they explore the enchanted island and Peter’s secret hideout with the Lost Boys, and leap into high-flying battles with swashbuckling pirates and the infamous villain Captain Hook.

“Peter Pan” is the seventh 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,” “The Lion King” and “Lady and the Tramp.”

Bonus Features:

New Signature Collection Bonus

One thing you’ll notice inside Walt Disney’s office are all of the models and pictures of airplanes. Walt loved planes and was an aficionado of flying. As a continuation of the “Stories from Walt’s Office” series, we’ll soar into the world of one of Walt’s favorite pastimes and look at the history behind the company airplane he used to scout Central Florida looking for the perfect place to build his second theme park. 
• A “Darling” Conversation with Wendy & John: Kathryn Beaumont and Paul Collins – Join Disney Legend Kathryn Beaumont (the voice of Wendy) and Paul Collins (the voice of John) as they reunite for the first time in many years to reminisce and discuss their experiences working on Peter Pan, meeting Walt Disney and learning to fly … literally.

A parallel of sorts to that duality can be found in Walt Disney and his core group of animators, the Nine Old Men, in their lives and in their work.
