THE HELP

April 18, 2011 by 2 Comments

Check out the exclusive trailer debut for DreamWorks THE HELP on the homepage of AOL today at 4:00pm PST. A 90-second version of the trailer will also air tonight at 10:00pm on the Barbara Walters 20/20 Royal Wedding Special, “William & Catherine: A Modern Fairytale.”

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon,  “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s,  who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.

Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, “The Help” is a provocative and inspiring look at what happens when a southern town’s unspoken code of rules and behavior is shattered by three courageous women who strike up an unlikely friendship.

AFRICAN CATS

April 15, 2011 by 1 Comment
NARRATED BY SAMUEL L. JACKSON
SEE “AFRICAN CATS,” SAVE THE SAVANNA
“AFRICAN CATS” POSTS STRONG ADVANCE SALES
IN SUPPORT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATION INITIATIVE
With more than $1.7 Million in Advance Sales, Disneynature Already Set to
Save More Than 9,500 Acres… and Still Counting
“African Cats” Motion Picture Opens on Earth Day, April 22, 2011
BURBANK, Calif. (April 11, 2011) – “African Cats” is still more than two weeks from opening on Earth Day, but moviegoers have already bought $1.7 million in tickets to see the movie during its opening week (April 22-28) and save the African savanna in the process. Thanks to the “See ‘African Cats,’ Save the Savanna” initiative, Disneynature’s pledge to make a contribution in honor of everyone who sees the film opening week already translates to more than 9,500 acres of land within Kenya’s Amboseli Wildlife Corridor—and that number continues to rise.
“We are very impressed with the passion people are showing for ‘African Cats’—advance ticket sales for this film have surpassed both ‘Earth’ and ‘Oceans’ at this stage of the game, which shows how excited moviegoers are for both the movie and the ‘Save the Savanna’ initiative,” said Alan Bergman, president, The Walt Disney Studios. “The Amboseli Corridor is an essential passage utilized by so many animals in the African savanna. The advance ticket sales so far will allow Disneynature with African Wildlife Foundation’s assistance to conserve more than 9,500 acres of this passage—which equates to 19 Disney’s Animal Kingdoms, or nearly two-thirds the size of Manhattan—and we still have two weeks till opening day.”
“The ‘See “African Cats,” Save the Savanna’ program transforms the movie going experience into tangible on-the-ground conservation action. The commitment of Disneynature combined with the passion of moviegoers will raise critical funds to conserve the land that the magnificent species featured in ‘African Cats’ call home,” said Dr. Patrick Bergin, CEO, African Wildlife Foundation. “Through this amazing collaboration, we celebrate our 50th Anniversary together with Disneynature and all the people who are helping establish the Amboseli Wildlife Corridor.”

“See ‘African Cats,’ Save the Savanna” continues Disneynature’s conservation efforts, which began with its first release, “Earth” (2009), for which three million trees were planted in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. The program in support of “Oceans” (2010) helped establish 40,000 acres of marine protected areas in The Bahamas, which contain miles of vital coral reef.

“SEE ‘AFRICAN CATS,’ SAVE THE SAVANNA”
During the film’s opening week (April 22-28), a portion of the proceeds from that week’s ticket sales will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to ensure the future of lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes and a host of other animals in the vibrant African savanna. The AWF will be working to protect the Amboseli Wildlife Corridor, a passage between the Amboseli, Tsavo West and Chyulu Hills National Parks that is frequently used by a variety of wildlife.

The film, which will be released in theaters worldwide, opens in North America on April 22, 2011. Tickets for groups of 20 or more are already available in the United States by calling 1-888-DISNEY6. Tickets are also available online at www.disney.com/africancats.

There are also a number of innovative online efforts underway that allow moviegoers to pledge their commitment to the film and in doing so, support the cause.

AFRICAN CATS

April 7, 2011 by 1 Comment

An epic true story set against the backdrop of one of the wildest places on Earth, “African Cats” captures the real-life love, humor and determination of the majestic kings of the savanna.  Narrated by Oscar®-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson, the story features Mara, an endearing lion cub who strives to grow up with her mother’s strength, spirit and wisdom; Sita, a fearless cheetah and single mother of five mischievous newborns; and Fang, a proud leader of the pride who must defend his family from a rival lion and his sons.  Disneynature brings “The Lion King” to life on the big screen in this True Life Adventure directed by Keith Scholey and Alastair Fothergill (“Earth”).  An awe-inspiring adventure blending family bonds with the power and cunning of the wild, “African Cats” leaps into theatres on Earth Day, April 22, 2011.

During the film’s opening week (April 22-28), a portion of the proceeds from that week’s ticket sales will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to protect the Amboseli Wildlife Corridor, a passage between the Amboseli, Tsavo West and Chyulu Hills National Parks that is frequently used by lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes and a host of other animals in the African savanna.

Mickey’s Magic Show- my review :)

March 31, 2011 by 7 Comments

Want to make a smile appear on your child’s face?  You could wave your wand, and say some magic words- or you could take them to go see Mickey’s Magic Show!  Child friendly magic, with tricks and illusions that will make your little one dance for joy and sit perfectly still in anticipation.  Micky Mouse and friends will capture your little one’s attention from start to finish!  Mickey and his friends have a great magic show to put up, and they get some assistance from some of your favorite Disney characters, like Jasmine, Cinderella, Alice, and some new friends, too.  Of course, no show would be complete without Minnie Mouse!  That would be like peanut butter without jelly.  Let’s not forget one very important person- Fairy Godmother!  She comes along to remind us of some very special magic words she likes to use, and helps save the day for a certain princess.  Goofy and Donald are there as well, learning to preform their own tricks, and working them out on stage.  Even when there is a little “goof up” with some of the magic going awry, Mickey and friends can get it right  back on track with a little help from each other, and some audience participation.  My 3 year old loved this show, he was yelling out magic words, clapping at the amazing feats preformed, and of course, we have had a little magician since getting home.  Everything is just ripe to be “magic-ed” (his words!) 

My Little Man had a blast at Mickey’s Magic Show, and if you have a Mickey lover- or a Disney lover (and who doesn’t?) at your house, then your child will love it, too.  Check the schedule and get your tickets HERE!
Have a Magical Day!

Disney’s Princess Wishes on Ice- my review

February 3, 2011 by 9 Comments

What a great, great show this was! Honestly, I didn’t think I would say it, but it is definitely as good as Toy Story 3 on Ice! It was really magical- and I know that is incredibly corny to say, but it was! LOL. I felt like a little kid. Feld Entertainment, the producers of Princess Wishes, did a fabulous job putting this show together. They used most of the Disney Princesses for the show, and added Tinkerbell, Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy for good measure!
The stories were a bit “cut up”, but they kind of have to be to fit for time. (Can you imagine trying to put 6 Princess Movies on ice? We would have been there all night!) They were very simplified versions of the kid’s favorite parts of the movies.
But by “very simplified” I only mean the plot was made more simple and short- I do NOT mean that she show was simple, at all! The show was spectacular! I am almost ready to go back again, LOL. It was amazing, and will not disappoint. Little Man was amazed! While your little Princess will certainly be enchanted- make no mistake, so will your little Prince! Who doesn’t love a dancing sea crew, or a sea captain (Prince Eric) who swings in from the rafters on a rope? That’s swashbuckling fun for anyone! Can I tell you- the sea crew men were doing flips- FLIPS!- all over the place! They had a platform, and they would climb onto it, and jump down onto a teeter-totter type board, flipping the man on the other end straight into the air! Once, they did this and caught him in a chair high above them all. It was nuts. Everyone (even the adults) were gasping and oohing and ahhing.
Tinkerbell, who appeared between acts and at the beginning of the show, was (energetic? enthusiastic?) completely spastic, LOL, as any good Tinkerbell should be. I must have been in quite “a mood”, because I found the whole thing really, really funny. It was cracking me up. There were so many little girls dressed up as Tinkerbell last night- I think Tink may have outnumbered [Read more…]
