{Review + Giveaway} The Muppets

I am filled with memories of the Muppets from my childhood, of Kermit and Miss Piggy and the gang. I will admit to loving Kermit, he is my favourite through and through. I know, he is the obvious choice and there are so many to choose from, but his sweet little heart has won me over from the get go. Fozzie Bear comes in second for me.

I have tried to get the kids interested in the Muppets for the last few years, but they always seem to get bored with them. So when I was sent the Muppets to review I thought it would be the same deal. But I was suprised that they actually sat through the whole movie, whilst I was the one getting bored...

I don't know what it is but when I watch a movie with Jason Segel I always just view him as Marshall from How I Met Your Mother... even when he starred in I Love You, Man with Paul Rudd. He was still Marshall to me!

Anyhow Caden and Mahli both told me they liked it and have watched it twice now. Caden said he likes it best when they since and that the frog is his favourite.
Mahli liked the singing the best too and her favourite is Miss Piggy.

If you have no idea what this new The Muppets movie is all about is it a reunion show of sorts after they all band together to try and save the theatre from a greedy oil tycoon. But will they be able to raise enough money and save The Muppet Theatre in time??

Lion King 2 & 3 + a giveaway!

I was 9 when The Lion King was first released in 1994. I remember watching it over and over again with my baby cousin and as soon as I hear words Hakuna Matata my head is taken back to good old Timon and Pumba and the original Lion King.

Now that The Lion King 2- Simba's Pride and The Lion King 3 are being released on DVD and Blu-Ray and they are getting on my kids radars I am taken back to Hakuna Matata and the glory of The Lion King all over again. 

And not to forget Sir Elton Johns music magic

Now I really don't think anything can top the first Lion King for me, but 2 and 3 come pretty close. 

Complete Simba’s journey with The Lion King 2, a film for the entire family. Experience the power of “Upendi”—which means “love” – as Kiara, Simba’s strong-willed daughter, seeks adventure away from her father’s watchful gaze. Timon and Pumbaa can do only so much to protect her, especially when she encounters an intriguing rival, Kovu, a cub who is being groomed to lead Scar’s pride. As Kiara and Kovu search for their proper places in the great “Circle Of Life,” they discover that it may be their destiny to reunite their prides and bring peace to the Pride Lands.

 

The Lion King 3 will take you waaay back to the beginning, before Simba’s story began. From their uniquely hysterical perspective, Timon and his windy pal Pumbaa—the greatest unsung heroes of the savanna—reveal where they came from, how they helped Simba save the Serengeti and what really happened behind the scenes of The Lion King’s biggest events.

My kids have been enjoying The Lion King 2 and 3 over the last few days and now your kids can too! I have 2 Blu-ray copies of each to giveaway. So two lucky MahliMoo, Me and Three readers will receive a copy of The Lion Kind 2 and 3 on Blu-ray just in time for the Easter school holidays.
