Disney PLANES Blu-ray™ Review

by | , | 1 Comment

This post is Sponsored by Disney but my opinions are 100% my own! If you missed it in the theaters over the summer you will be happy to hear that Disney PLANES soared onto Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand November 19, 2013 so you can now watch it in the comfort of your own home!   I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the Los Angeles premiere of PLANES and watched it with the stars of the show in the audience along side of me.  It was a great trip and a fabulous event.  Oh and I loved the movie!  It started off a bit slow but then picked up the pace and was extremely entertaining with lots of highs and lows and a lot of comedy! About PLANES The world of Cars takes flight in Planes,...

An Interview with Jodi Benson, the Voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid

by | | 1 Comment

  Disclosure: This event and trip to LA was an all expense paid journey sponsored by Disney.  All thoughts, experiences are 100% my own! I saw the Little Mermaid for the first time 24 years ago and I loved it.  But if I could go back to 16-year-old Karen and tell her that when she was 40 she'd be able to meet Jodi Benson, voice of Ariel and actually get to ask her questions and listen to the story of how she became the voice of a Disney Princess, I would have never believed it. But this past summer on my trip to LA ( a trip I will always remember!) I met Jodi Benson and she even sang for us.  I thought for sure I was watching the Little Mermaid and at that point I couldn't wait to come...

Disclosure: This event and trip to LA was an all expense paid journey sponsored by Disney.  All thoughts, experiences are 100% my own! As you already know, in August I spent a few days in Los Angeles California on a media event.  I saw the premiere of Disney's PLANES and had some other fun adventures.   One of those including taking a trip to the Disney Animation Research Library (ARL) and the Vault!   It's location is so top-secret that they had to blind fold us so we didn't know where we were going.... OK no they really didn't do that however I think they drove around in circles so we couldn't find our way there on our own.  LOL Photo Credit: ©Disney Why is this place such a secret? ...

Interview with John Muskar and Ron Clements, The Little Mermaid Writers and Directors #LittleMermaidEvent

Disclosure: This event and trip to LA was an all expense paid journey sponsored by Disney.  All thoughts, experiences are 100% my own! Interview with John Muskar and Ron Clements, Writers and Directors of The Little Mermaid While in Los Angles this summer to attend the Planes Premiere, I also had a chance to meet with the writers and directors of The Little Mermaid - John Muskar and Ron Clements.   They are both really great, down to earth guys and you'd think they'd be otherwise because of the success of The Little Mermaid.  But I think they might still be a little bit in awe of how well it's done and that it's still so popular 20 years later!   As I've mentioned before The Little...

The Monsters are Coming! Monster’s University on Blu-ray 11/29/13

by | | 0 Comments

One thing that was on my daughter's summer to do list was to see Monsters U and we finally made it right before school started. It wasn't because I didn't want to see it, we just never found time to go with so many other things to do over the summer. I saw Monsters Inc many, many years ago and I really liked it, but Monsters U I loved!!! I loved seeing how Sully and Mike became friends and it was entertaining watching them as college students. I also loved the message that it gave my daughter because we talk all the time about working towards what you want. So it was a great message! Anyways, if you missed it you don't have to wait much longer because it's coming out on Blu-ray Combo Pack...

Super Buddies DVD Review and Meeting Rosebud in Los Angeles #SuperBuddies

by | , | 3 Comments

Disclosure: This event and trip to LA was an all expense paid journey sponsored by Disney.  All thoughts, experiences are 100% my own! While in Los Angles earlier this month to attend the Planes Premiere, I also had a chance to meet Rosebud from the NEW Super Buddies, take a picture with her and talk with Ray, one of  Rosebud's trainers.  The dog we met is actually Cooper and is a boy.  They go more by the color of the dog for each part then whether it's a boy or a girl.  That part really doesn't matter in Hollywood.   I found our meeting with them pretty interesting and I learned a lot about working with dogs. We love all the buddies movies but I never really thought about how hard it...
