I received a copy of the latest Pixar Short Films Collection for free to review and 2 copies to give away. Opinions are my own. On Thanksgiving night we watched teh blu-ray as a family. It was fun seeing each one with the directors giving their introductions. It was also pretty nice thinking about all the movies I have gone to see with Disney over the years. There were even some people that I had met on a trip to Pixar in the short films. One of them, I am sure was the director of one of the films. I also recognized areas from the Pixar campus in the film and that was exciting.
You can share in the excitement, heart and humor of these wonderful short films by Pixar in this third installment. I have two copies to give away. Simply enter through the rafflecopter widget below. The contest is open to U.S. based addresses only.

The game is exclusive to Target. Unfortunately , we hadn’t had the time before now to play. I took the game with us on the Thanksgiving holiday on the Cape.

We set up the game and went over the rules and how to play. It took a little bit to really figure things out but once we did I could see how certain strategies could be applied. Andrew played as Kevin and I as the Wet Bandits. He really wanted to get me with the paint bucket over and over. Unfortunately for him, he hardly ever rolled a paint bucket. Although, in the end he still won the game. I came up $300 short on the loot. Continue reading Help Kevin Outwit the Wet Bandits in the Home Alone Game →
