Review: THE LION KING: Diamond Edition Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack

If you have been following this blog then you know that as a family we went to see The Lion King in 3D a week or so ago. Eva did not enjoy herself because it was too loud and she started out scared from a 3D trailer for Happy Feet 2. Well, when the movie was over she told me that if we got a copy of The Lion King on DVD that we should sell it. The next day the DVD arrived for this review. I left it on the kitchen counter and Eva found it. She promptly told Allison that she loved the movie and wanted to watch it at night. Huh? Who is this kid who emotionally drained us when we watched it in 3D? No matter she’s all about The Lion King now.

The Lion King is one of Allison’s favorite movies ever and our family collection of Disney movies had an empty slot because somehow neither of us bought the movie when it originally was released. Now with the movie on Blu-ray and DVD in one set we can enjoy the movie over and over as a family. In between singing “the Tide is Hive” Eva has been singing songs from The Lion King. She gets giggly and terrified when I quote Scar (her least favorite character) and she loves when we pretend to be the hyenas saying “Mufasa!” Eva even had Allison color in a giant Crayola poster of Mufasa that hangs on her closet door now.

Something So Sweet Coming to DVD: Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh

Allison and Eva went to see the Winnie the Pooh movie one afternoon without me. So, I can’t tell you much about what it was about but I can tell you that they came home very happy with what they saw. Allison is such a Winnie the Pooh fan that she has the complete set of Winnie the Pooh stories several times over. Basically both children (Eva and “Baby Surprise”, to be released in November, LOL) have a full set of the books for their rooms. So we are a Winnie the Pooh friendly family. And so, when Allison and Eva gave the movie a thumbs up I knew it had to be good. Well, the movie is being released on Blu-ray, DVD & Movie Download October 25th. But to get you excited here are some Honey related Recipes and movie clips I’d like to share with you.
