Miraculous LADYBUG! If you have kids who love the masked hero I am sure you are more than aware that "Ladybug & CatNoir, The Movie" hits Netflix July 28th. My girls love the show and were excited to see the movie, but is it OK for kids? How did the usually 24 minute episode fair when stretched into an over 90 minute long movie? Read my no-spoilers review to find out!

​Disney and Pixar's Elemental has been in theaters since June 16th and I've constantly heard how "bad" it is doing in the box office and my first thought was, it must not be very good, I'll wait until it hits Disney+ to check it out. Well, a few days ago for an outing with their grandfather, we took my kids to see Elemental and... I've got some BIG feelings. 

Illumination and Nintendo is not a pair I would have thought of a few years ago, but now it just makes sense. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is bright, colorful and crisp in its animation and is a film that the whole family will find thrilling and fun. In my no-spoilers review I breakdown the plot, the peril and the PG rating. 

The wait is (almost) over! PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is coming to theaters September 29th! We know have a trailer and a seriously PAWsome poster. I really enjoyed The PAW Patrol Movie so my hopes are high for this sequel. Check out the poster and watch the trailer now!

I love when a streaming service releases their shows or movies on DVD! Transformers Earth Spark Season 1, episodes 1 through 10  are now available on DVD!

It's-a-me, the movie that broke records with its theatrical release. THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE will be available to own on digital platforms May 16th. My family saw this film in theaters and we all walked away laughing and hoping for a sequel. You don't have to be a gamer to love this movie. This is fun for the entire family. Pop some popcorn and make THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE your family's next movie night feature!

A very beloved purple dinosaur is back for a new generation! "Barney's World" is a brand new, CG-animated series that will help relaunch Barney into our hearts. As a certified 90's kid, I loved Barney growing up and I've even shared the older, live action series I grew up with my children. I cannot wait for them to get to experience an entirely new take on Barney and I'm so happy that he's coming back. Not only that, it makes so much sense for Barney to join the ever-growing (and fantastic) line up of Cartoontio shows. Cartoonito's focus on preschool entertainment is unmatched. I love knowing my children are watching safe and age appropriate shows whenever we tune into Cartoonito.
