When Kylie Mar of Made In Hollywood claimed that Disney's "Big Hero 6" was the "Best animated film of the year" he couldn't have been more right. Today Walt Disney Animation Studios announced that their Academy Award®-winning "Big Hero 6" became the #1 animated title of 2014. In fact, the movie surpassed "Tangled" to become the third biggest
Walt Disney Animation Studios release ever globally, behind only "Frozen"
and The Lion King. Directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams and produced by Roy Conli, this
action-packed comedy adventure, centers on the special bond between Hiro Hamada and Baymax, a
plus-sized inflatable, huggable robot.
Full of heart and humour, Walt Disney Animation Studios delivers yet again with “Big Hero 6”. Prepare to shed a tear when a devastating turn of events results in the untimely demise of Hiro's older brother. Then, as a dangerous plot unfolds in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to Baymax and his eclectic group of friends — adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred — who transform into a band of six unlikely heroes.
This Big Hero 6 Collector's Edition includes Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital HD. Also included is the theatrical short "Feast", the Origin Story of Big Hero 6, Big Hero Secrets, Big Animator 6: The Characters Behind the Characters and deleted scenes. French version also included.

It should come as no surprise to you that, when it comes to Marvel Studios characters as portrayed on the big screen, Thor holds a special place at the top of my list of favourites. Credit this to his long, golden locks of hair, his chiseled physique, his kind-hearted personality, or what have you. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to jump alongside him as his next leading lady. (I am still awaiting the call from Marvel Studios. Any day now.) After having watched Marvel's The Avengers, which set the all-time, domestic three-day weekend box-office record at $207.4 million, I soon found myself interested in the Captain America storyline. And I swear, it had nothing to do with the ultra-buff specimen known as Chris Evans. Nothing at all.
The Marvel Studios production of Captain America: The First Avenger was jam-packed with amazing visuals, incredible action sequences and a really good storyline. The transformation of small and scrawny Steve Rogers into a tall and muscular super-soldier still baffles my mind but is an excellent example of the power of movie magic. The latest release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier continues to demonstrate the flawless infusion of computer generated imaging but goes above and beyond in developing in-depth characters and a twisted plot line rooted in political conspiracy.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier picks up after events in New York with The Avengers and sees the return of familiar faces. Chris Evan reprises his role as the super-hero, of course, who works alongside Scarlett Johansson, returning as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow.
The chemistry between the two characters is mediocre at best but their potential romance on-screen plays backseat to the Cap's new-found friendship with Sam Wilson also known as Falcon. The introduction of Anthony Mackie's character is a strategic and essential move since the actor brings with him a sense of integrity, humour and an infectious smile. The fact that he is obviously athletic proved to be an asset as his role required a fair bit of wirework, flying as high as 70 feet up in the air.

Yes, it's true. I had not yet seen the movie Lady and the Tramp until this morning. It was a nice movie date with my little man, just the two of us. My daughter had tennis lessons and was thus unable to join in the fun. We had a yummy luncheon afterwards at the Old Spaghetti Factory where we were serenaded by an uber-talented accordion player and had our photo taken together, my son and I, that is. It was so nice to be able to spend some time with my 3-year-old, as it doesn't happen as often as I would like. It was also nice to bump into some old friends who had attended the screening as well.
So what's all the fuss about? Funny you should ask. February 7th marks the release of the Diamond Edition Blu-ray combo pack of the classic Disney movie Lady and the Tramp. And since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I wanted to share some cute printable activities, coloring pages and Valentine's Day cards for the Lady and the Tramp fan in your home. Just click on the thumbnail below to be directed to the download page and print away. Enjoy!
