Draongs: Race to the Edge Poster

A brand new adventure in the How to Train Your Dragon mythos is coming directly to Netflix. This new chapter is called Dragons: Race to the Edge and it will bridge the gap between the first movie and TV shows and the second movie. This series will show how Hiccup and his friends became so good at dragon riding and how Hiccup worked on his map of the world around him.

I am very excited about this series because for the past year Eva and I have been reading all of the How to Train Your Dragon books by Cressida Cowell. We are eagerly awaiting the release of the twelfth and final book in the series. It has been so much fun to read this with her and we will enjoy this series very much once it debuts on June 26th.

I have a couple of clips and some production stills from the show to share with you. You can see them all below as well as the official synopsis of the show. Continue reading DreamWorks Animation’s “Dragons: Race to the Edge” only on Netflix June 26th

Whenever people debate over how to introduce Star Wars to their kids they talk bout the proper order for viewing the movies. The thing is, my kids haven’t seen any of the movies but they have seen every episode of Star Wars Rebels. I chose this cartoon as our jumping on point because of the character of Sabine. Sabine is a strong confident female character and I liked that about her and knew that Eva would be a big time fan. I personally had been awaiting the show ever since Toy Fair 2014 when I went to the Disney Consumer Products session. The show quickly became one of my favorites and I cannot wait for Season Two to start on June 20th. But that isn’t the big news of today.

The big news is that the characters of Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren and Zeb Orrelios were announced to be figures in the upcoming Disney Infinity 3.0 game. There is not Play Set to go with these new characters however, the best thing I’ve heard so far about Disney Infinity 3.0 is that all the Star Wars characters can work in every one of the Star Wars Play Sets and there will be three of those. The Star Wars Rebels characters will be unlockable in the Play sets. So that means that Zeb can fight alongside Chewbacca or Kanan and Obi Wan can defend the Jedi order.
