Happy Mother’s Day From MONSTERS UNIVERSITY!

Monster University wants to wish all Mothers a VERY HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

WATCH MOTHER’S DAY CLIP FROM MONSTERS UNIVERSITY!

ABOUT THE MOVIEEver since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer —and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

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 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”). The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in 3D in select theaters.

Mike Wazowski’s (voice of Billy Crystal) lifelong dreams of becoming a Scarer are derailed during his first semester at Monsters University when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), and their out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program.

The film is directed by Sam Raimi who helmed the record-crushing “Spider-Man” trilogy, and produced by Joe Roth who fashioned Disney’s billion dollar-plus earning “Alice in Wonderland.” “Oz The Great and Powerful” boasts a stellar cast that includes Academy Award nominee James Franco (“127 Hours”) as Oscar Diggs, the predestined wizard; Golden Globe nominee Mila Kunis (“Black Swan”) as the tormented young witch Theodora; Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz (“The Constant Gardener”) as Theodora’s older sister, Evanora, the witch who rules over the Emerald City; and three-time Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams (“Brokeback Mountain,” “Blue Valentine,” “My Week with Marilyn”) as Glinda, the Good Witch.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot. Fame and fortune are his for the taking. That is until he meets three witches: Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity and even a bit of wizardry, Oscar transforms himself not only into a great wizard but into a better man as well.

The Disney Movie Club Helps You Save BIG on Disney Movies

Anyone who has ever read this blog knows that movies play a big part in our life here. I am not a huge fan of the television shows mainly because of the commercials. I get tired of hearing my kids scream, “I want that!” at every turn. So, I rely heavily on movies and DVD’s for TV time with my kids.

Honestly, though, movies can get very expensive. Especially if you want every new one you can get for your kids like me. I want to own Tangled and The Little Mermaid that is coming out in 2013 and even the Disney, Jr. TV shows that my kids love. But I would have to sell a leg to get them all.

That is why I LOVE things like the Disney Movie Club! I can get multiple titles for a fraction of retail charges. Not only can you get 4 movies for $1* to start but you can get free shipping on your initial order too! Plus, get alerts and updates on all of the new titles coming out.

Between movies like Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and adult movies like The Proposal you will enjoy buying up the titles you appreciate plus getting awesome discounts all at once! I especially love the Preschool section right now. Shows like Doc McStuffins and Jake and the Neverland Pirates can entertain my kids during movie time without the commercials that cause the “Mommy, I want THAT!” comments!

You can even get popular movies in Spanish, fun Disney films for grown ups and exclusive movies that are hard to find on shelves! I know my parents will love some of the old classics that are available in the Disney Movie Club!

Take a few minutes to think about how much you spend on Disney movies, how much time it takes to go to the store to see if popular titles are in stock and the headache in missing when they are out of the vault. And then sign up for the Disney Movie Club and reap the benefits of 4 movies for $1 and free shipping on your first order!

The much anticipated Wreck-It Ralph is coming SOON! In theaters November 2, 2012, this fun and hilarious arcade hopping adventure is sure to please any animation fan!

Check out the clip below:

“From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes “Wreck-It Ralph,” a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph(voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.

On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.”
