Fashion Friday – Disney Baby!

May 17, 2013 | 6 Comments

No, I am not preparing to have another baby. I just had the luck to review the Disney Baby line again! I saw these great products at the Disney Social Media Moms conference (celeb pics below), and then got to really learn about them today.

See those baby bodysuits up above? Cute, right? Well, guess what, as your baby grows, you can still use these as they have a new and simple technology that gives you a choice of snaps! As the baby grows you do not have to replace this onesie, just use the lower level of snaps so the onesie grows with your baby. Again, this is such a smart and simple idea. And guess what? Disney has a patent pending on this, no one had thought to put this in the market place before now!

But wait….

Yes, Monsters, Incorporated has made it into the Disney baby line! Just 3 weeks old, I was shocked and thrilled at the same time to see this new delicious addition to the Disney Baby family!  I loved this movie, and got to see a sneak peak of the prequel coming out next month. This is one of our favorites and makes for the cutest little monster clothes and accessories.  I had no idea, but this is a perfect tie in to the new movie, and so very adorable!

For all the other offerings, plenty of cute Pooh Bear and Lion King items and of course other Mickey and Minnie Mouse articles, visit DisneyBaby.com!

And here are the links for their other social media sites, quite fun to view, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Pinterest!

And  now for the celebrity shots!

Disclosure: I received a gift bag for attending the event. I look forward to donating that to a local charity. All opinions are always 100% honest and my own.

And here are some shots from my conference displaying some Pooh items:

Merida’s Coronation @WaltDisneyWorld: I Was There! Includes Video!

May 16, 2013 | 12 Comments

This past weekend I attended the Disney Social Media Moms Conference. I was honored to be invited! What made this year’s conference extra thrilling was that it fell over the weekend of Princess Merida’s coronation! We were all invited to attend this prestigious event.

Standing in front of Cinderella’s castle as Merida rode in on her horse was quite a site!

Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas (my pal from 2 weeks ago!) and her mom were on hand for the coronation as you can see above with Merida and her mom, Queen Elinor. It was very exciting and a little emotional, I am just a big sap! Merida is one of the few Princesses that my son can relate to as she is tough, and rides and fights with the best of them. I have been reading about some controversy that as an inducted Princess Merida became too feminine, my son and I agree, a girl with a bow is a tough character! I don’t get the issue, but I can tell you that she has earned my son’s respect!

Lastly, here are all 11 Princesses posing together for a final picture with Gabby and her mom. It was a very moving ceremony, I am honored to have been invited!

 

Disclosure: I attended this event as a guest of Walt Disney World. I paid a conference fee to attend and received free park tickets, some lodging and some meals. All opinions are always 100% honest and my own. Also, the top 2 photos and the video are courtesy of Disney.

And of course!

Monsters U – College Posters and Full Voice Cast!

April 18, 2013 | 3 Comments

 

Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” welcomes some of Hollywood’s top stars to its roster of voice talent for this summer’s frighteningly funny comedy adventure, opening in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013. Joining Billy Crystal and John Goodman are Steve Buscemi, Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Dave Foley, Sean P. Hayes, Joel Murray, Peter Sohn, Charlie Day, Nathan Fillion, Bobby Moynihan, Julia Sweeney, Aubrey Plaza, Tyler Labine, John Krasinski, Bonnie Hunt, Beth Behrs and John Ratzenberger. Also revealed this week were the story and screenplay credits. Directed by Dan Scanlon, “Monsters University” features a story and screenplay by Daniel Gerson & Robert L. Baird (“Monsters, Inc.”) and Scanlon.

Scanlon says the cast was able to bring the story to life with great ingenuity and enthusiasm. “Working with this group of actors was an extraordinary experience. They each brought a unique level of humor, emotion and creativity to their work that not only complemented their individual performances, but made the overall story come together in a really wonderful way.”

The voice cast includes the following:

· Billy Crystal (“Parental Guidance,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “City Slickers”) reprises his role as Mike Wazowski, now a college-age monster who follows his dream of becoming a Scarer at Monsters University.

· John Goodman (“Argo,” “Flight,” “Trouble With the Curve”) returns as James P. Sullivan (Sulley), an overly confident, young hotshot Scaring student at Monsters University.

· Steve Buscemi (“Boardwalk Empire”) rejoins the monster world as Randy Boggs, a Monsters University freshman who is ready to experience all that college has to offer (if only he can curb his habit of disappearing).

· Helen Mirren (“Hitchcock,” “The Queen”) gives voice to Dean Hardscrabble, legendary Scarer and hard-to-please head of Monsters University’s prestigious School of Scaring.

· Alfred Molina (TNT’s “Monday Mornings,” “The Da Vinci Code,” “Frida”) is the voice of Professor Knight, an esteemed professor in Monsters University’s School of Scaring.

· Dave Foley (TV’s “NewsRadio,” “The Kids in the Hall”) as Terry Perry, the skeptical half of a bickering two-headed monster and dedicated Oozma Kappa (OK) brother.

· Sean P. Hayes (“The Three Stooges,” TV’s “Up All Night”) gives voice to Terri Perry, the more sensitive side of a two-headed Oozma Kappa (OK) fraternity brother with Scaring aspirations.

· Joel Murray (TV’s “Mad Men,” “Two and a Half Men”) voices Don Carlton, a “mature” student at Monsters University and a founding member of the Oozma Kappa (OK) fraternity.

· Pixar’s Peter Sohn (“Ratatouille,” “Small Fry”) provides the voice of Scott “Squishy” Squibbles, an undeclared sophomore at Monsters University and Oozma Kappa (OK) fraternity member who still lives with his doting mother.

· Charlie Day (“Horrible Bosses,” “Pacific Rim,” TV’s “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) provides the voice of the incomparable Art, an Oozma Kappa (OK) fraternity brother with a questionable past.

· Nathan Fillion (“Much Ado About Nothing,” “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters,” TV’s “Castle”) portrays Johnny Worthington, the confident president of Roar Omega Roar (ROR), a Monsters University fraternity that prides itself on its notable Scarers.

· Bobby Moynihan (NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” HBO’s “Girls,” DreamWorks Studios’ “Delivery Man”) helps bring to life Chet Alexander, a yes-monster member of the Roar Omega Roar (ROR) fraternity.

· Julia Sweeney (TV’s “The Goode Family,” “Saturday Night Live”) lends her voice to Ms. Squibbles, indulgent mother to Monsters University sophomore Scott “Squishy” Squibbles.

· Aubrey Plaza (“To Do List,” TV’s “Parks and Recreation”) gives voice to Claire Wheeler, the somber president of Monsters University’s Greek Council and emcee for the annual Scare Games.

· Tyler Labine (“Tucker & Dale vs. Evil,” “Mad Love”) was tapped to voice Brock Pearson, vice president of the Greek Council and enthusiastic emcee of the Scare Games.

· John Krasinski (“Promised Land,” TV’s “The Office”) provides the voice of “Frightening” Frank McCay, a Scaring super star at Monsters, Inc.

· Bonnie Hunt (TV’s “The Bonnie Hunt Show,” “Cheaper By the Dozen”) was called on to provide the voice of young Mike Wazowski’s grade school teacher Karen Graves.

· Beth Behrs (TV’s “2 Broke Girls”) serves as the voice of Carrie Williams, fearless leader of the Python Nu Kappa (PNK) sorority.

· John Ratzenberger (“Cheers,” Disney•Pixar’s feature films) returns to the Pixar recording studio as the voice of a Monsters, Inc. employee.

Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”), produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and features music from future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”).
