Unleash all the thrills as Frankenweenie sparks to life, leaping off the screen right into your living room in thrilling Blu-ray 3D - the absolute best you can get at home. 

From Disney and creative genius Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas) comes the hilarious and offbeat Frankenweenie, a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life - with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous. Complete with electrifying bonus features, Frankenweenie is alive with enchanting fun for the whole family in eye-popping Blu-ray 3D.

I was lucky enough to attend an event on celebration of the holiday release of ICE AGE: Continental Drift on Blu-ray/DVD at the Ice Age Palace at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles.


The Ice Palace is a 30-foot ice dome with falling snow, lights and interactive globes that show Scrat trying to finally reach his acorn.

The event was really fun and the movie available on Blu-Ray/DVD on December 11th is a family favorite.
From now to the end of the month, all Taubman Shopping Centers nationwide will have this very cool attraction for you to visit.
Oh, and I also got to tell Santa all the things on my wish list....

Disney is shinning again. The new movie out in theaters today is amazing. The production is everything you expect from Disney and even more.

The movie will make you laugh and even cry. It is prefect for kids, teens and adult. For those of us that are older it will take us back to the times of playing Atari and old times video games (Wonderful memories).
"From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes “Wreck-It Ralph,” a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.

On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters."

I had the opportunity to watch the movie at El Capitan Theater (Hollywood, CA) and I can tell you that my son thinks that it is one of the best movies ever. The magic of 3D allows little kids to feel part of the movie and "feel" all the emotions. With a wonderful message of accepting who you are and being proud of what you do, the movie will soon be one of your favorites.

Wreck-it Ralph
