Burbank, CA, February 27 – Bring home the critically-acclaimed family film when “Paddington 2” arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and Digital.

Following the worldwide hit “Paddington,” one of the most successful family films of all time, this much-anticipated sequel finds Paddington (Ben Whishaw) happily settled with the Brown family in London, where he has become a popular member of the local community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes.

Reuniting many of the original film’s cast while welcoming those in new roles, “Paddington 2” stars Golden Globe nominee Hugh Bonneville (“Downton Abbey”), Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (“Blue Jasmine”), three-time Golden Globe nominee Brendan Gleeson (“The Guard,” “Into the Storm,” “In Bruges”), Oscar nominee Julie Walters (“Billy Elliot,” “Educating Rita”), Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris”), and Oscar winner Peter Capaldi (short, “Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life”), with Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winner Hugh Grant (“Four Weddings and a Funeral”), and BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw (“The Hollow Crown”) as the voice of Paddington. The starring ensemble also includes Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, and Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton (“Vera Drake”) as the voice of Aunt Lucy.

The film was produced by multiple award-winning producer David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” films, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” Oscar nominee for “Gravity”). Serving as executive producers were Rosie Alison, Jeffrey Clifford, Alexandra Ferguson Derbyshire, Ron Halpern, and Didier Lupiter.

Paddington’s return to the big screen was again helmed by BAFTA-nominated director Paul King (“Paddington,” “Come Fly with Me,” “The Mighty Boosh”) from a script written by King and Simon Farnaby (Sky TV’s “Yonderland,” “Mindhorn”), based on the best-selling and internationally adored books by Michael Bond, creator of Paddington Bear.

“Paddington 2” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99 and DVD for $28.98. SAVE!! Get your copy at Target, Walmart, or Amazon for LESS!! “Paddington 2” will also be available on Movies Anywhere.

Paddington 2 Is a HIT With US!

We recently received a copy of Paddington 2 from Warner Bros. Pictures. This highly anticipated title arrival happened to coincide with our grandchildren’s annual spring break visit. The kids are 12-year-old twins; a boy and a girl. After noticing the DVD we knew the evening was once again going to be a family fun night like we have shared many times before. In addition to being entertained, we get to enjoy their company as well as their response to a newly released title. This litmus test never seems to fail, creating a truly honest non-biased reaction with laughter and frequent outbursts of interaction. As we anticipated “Paddington 2” is great for the whole family, we all enjoyed it immensely and decided to watch it again the following evening. Overall, this film is a very well made grand slam!

FunSlides Carpet Skates – Have your very own indoor skating rink!

November 3, 2017 By Paula 2 Comments

Just strap on the carpet skates and let the fun begin!

FunSlides Carpet Skates started a whole new indoor toy and game trend. Like sliding in socks on a hardwood floor. FunSlides Carpet Skates give you that fun-powered glide on the carpet! Woooosh! Strap ’em on and away you go!

This pair comes in sleek silver color.
They work on any type of carpet and they are carpet friendly.
One size fits all.
FunSlides Carpet Skates have won the following awards: The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval; Dr. toy 10 Best Active Products Winner; Dr. Toy 100 Best Children’s Products Winner; Creative Child Magazine – Creative Toy Awards Seal of Excellence; Major FUN Award.

Have your very own indoor skating rink!

Just like socks allowed Tom Cruise to deftly glide into the frame on Joel’s hardwood floors when his parents have left him home alone in Risky Business these fun carpet skates allow you to glide across the carpet. When our pair arrived we took a few minutes to check out their design and materials. The plastic slide portion is thin yet thick enough to remain rigid and the straps are robust enough to securely keep your feet attached to the skates. We followed the few easy steps and put each skate together. We just peeled the backing off the adhesive and attached the padding to the skate and secured the straps through the loops. The adhesive and velcro both seem more than strong enough to do their job. Then we simply strapped the friction-resistant plastic bases over your athletic shoes and we were sliding around the family room. See this product on Walmart.com!

As you can see even with my monster size 9 1/2 W foot these skates fit me. After gliding around the room with these FunSlides Carpet Skates on for about five minutes I felt like I had a mini-workout. So they are not only a great way to entertain the grandchildren on days when they can’t go outside, they are a great exercise tool for me, too. A great feature that each one has is a toe grip that makes them easy to push off and safe to walk in.

Overall, we found this to be a well-designed and manufactured product. I believe that these FunSlides Carpet Skates would make a great gift for elementary to middle school age group. Especially when paired with a few carpet pucks or other fun carpet game.

Not getting the Cartoon Network, I had never heard of Bunnicula before the press release for this DVD set arrived but my granddaughters sure had. They were quick to tell me that the show was funny and that they loved him. Kaylen,”He’s so cute!” After watching several episodes with them, Bunnicula and the rest of the cast reminded me of Scooby-Doo. With same the well-developed character interaction and antics that made me love Scooby and Gang Bunnicula was non-stop action. I loved animation and voices of all the cast. These DVDs were a great way to spend a rainy afternoon with the kids. They kept us all entertained.
