I have been enjoying the news that I have been seeing about The Good Dinosaur. My friends were recently on a trip to California to see the movie and interview Peter Sohn. I got to meet him a few years ago and when I did I learned the name and big idea behind the movie. Imagine what would have happened if the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs missed the Earth. Hw would life be different? This movie asks that very question. You can see the new trailer below and after that more information about the movie.
Leading up to Force Friday, the day when all the new Star Wars toys were released for the upcoming movie, The Force Awakens, I promoted the day through the Force Friday Countdown Calendar. That calendar was over three months of toys from the history of Star Wars. I got pretty excited about the new toys after seeing all that has come before. During that time we even introduced Eva and Andrew to the original trilogy. Eva has been enjoying the movies and we still have Return of the Jedi to watch. A little while after Force Friday I got a message in the mail asking me to Choose Dark Side or Choose Light Side. I decided to Choose Light Side.
What arrived was a sampling of some of the toys that Hasbro has released for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was pretty exciting to see everything in the box. Almost everything in the box has to do with Chewbacca and that is awesome. The remaining item is the Blade Builders set which will be a lot of fun to do with the kids. They’re going to have a lot of fun with that once we open it up. I may even have to get the adult Chewbacca costume at Target to take the kids trick or treating this year. That is, if the mask fits me.
