DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix Announce Six New Original Kids’ Series for 2018 #StreamTeam

Branch and Poppy

It looks like DreamWorks Animation has been really hard at work lately. They have just announced six all new original series to debut on Netflix in 2018. These are series for kids including
Trolls: The Beat Goes On! on January 19, 2018, She-Ra, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, Harvey Street Kids, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Trollhunters Part 3! and also tied to Trollhunters is 3 Below. 3 Below is the second installment of the Tales of Arcadia trilogy from Guillermo del Toro. I’m really excited about this series as well as She-Ra. I hope that She-Ra is great because I think Eva would enjoy it very much if it is done well. I shouldn’t be too worries since DreamWorks Animation has put out some pretty incredible stuff lately, especially those things from my childhood like Voltron and new classic like Trollhunters. Trollhunters is one of the best shows on Netflix that has come out in a while. I cannot wait to see what the whole Tales of Arcadia trilogy will look like. There is a lot coming and it all looks cool.

One of the first things that is begin released (After Trollhunters season 2 this Friday, that is) will be Trolls: The Beat Goes On! on January 19, 2018 and you can see it first in the trailer below.

For the full details on all the shows please read on. Continue reading DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix Announce Six New Original Kids’ Series for 2018 #StreamTeam →

A Netflix Survival Guide for the Long Holiday Road Trip

Pack Your Phone - Big Kid

Three years ago we took a family trip up to New Hampshire to the Christmas Farm Inn for Thanksgiving. This is a three hour ride. It is a long ride for a couple of little kids but it isn’t too terrible. We had some DVDs to take with us and a car that had a DVD player for the kids. Now, thrown in a blizzard and an extra four hours to the ride plus the kids’ desire to watch the same DVD repeatedly for those extra four hours. You can only imagine how keyed up I was. Luckily that turned out to be one of the best trips ever as a family.

If we were to make the trip again one thing that I would make sure we do is check out all the shows that we could download on our Netflix app. That way we could load up the kids’ devices with some great content that they could watch on the ride. I think we’d be safe putting at least six hours of downloads on each device. That would be enough for many episodes of their favorite shows like Beat bugs, Super Monsters, Trollhunters and Project MC2. It is really easy to do, too. Just fire up the app and choose “Available for Download” then search and download your favorite shows. Definitely make sure that you choose “available for Download” first. This will save you from getting your hopes up that a show is downloadable only to find out that it is not. There are a ton of shows that are available for download but there are also some that are not. Follow my advice to prevent any unwanted frustration. Netflix shows you how road trips can be better in this video which has a re-purposed popular show intro.
