He is traveling through his dreams collecting cookies (theh same concept as tokens in Mario games). He must travel through and conquer 7 different dream worlds to win the game. This game is rated E for Everyone. It is only a one player game (this was another disadva...

"Flicka" is a great family movie starring Tim McGraw, Allison Lohman, and Maria Bello. It is the tale of a family where Dad expects his son to continue working the farm and his daugther to get an education and better herself, but in a twist of fate it is the daughter who loves the family ranch and the son who desires an education. This movie is the battle in that family for all to rea...

Jimmy Neutron Attack of the Twonkies is a great video game for any Nickelodeon fan. This game has great graphics and is rated E for Everyone. It does have mild cartoon violence (according to the box - I would not consider it even worth mentioning).  It is a one player game (the one player plays the role of Jimmy). If you save your progress to a memory card, it takes up "4 blocks."...

This is a great game meant for the Nintendo GameCube. It is "Nicktoons Unite." This game has a rating of E with cartoon violence listed as an issue.  There's no more violence, however, than what you would see on the applicable Nick cartoons.  It is a 1 - 4 player game, and all 4 players can play simultaneously. In fact, to beat the entire game, I would highly recommend f...

The GameCube game, Madagascar, is a great child friendly game. It is rated E10+ because of cartoon violence and crude humor, but my daughter has been playing this game since she was 5, and I would feel safe letting anyone play it. I think the "crude humor" is barely noticeable and would go over a young child's head.  It is a 1-2 player game and both players can play simultane...

This game, Luigi's Mansion, is for the GameCube platform.  It is rated E for Everyone. It is a 1 player game. If you wish to save your progress for the future, it takes up "3 blocks" on the memory card.  It is a great game because for once Luigi, and not Mario, gets to be the "title character". Luigi has finally won a mansion of his own, but of course, there is...

This game, Shrek Super Slam, is for the GameCube platform.  It is rated Everyone 10+ because of crude humor and violence.  It is pretty violent as 2 Shrek characters are fighting one on one.  It is very similar to a wrestling game, except for the characters are from the Shrek characters.  This is a one to four player game, and all 4 players can play simultaneously.  If ...

Shark Tale is one of my favorite GameCube games for a younger audience. It is based on the movie which quickly makes it a huge hit with children.  It is rated E for everyone with a note about "Cartoon Violence." This is very slight though, and I would have no problem recommending this game for the smallest player.  It is a 1 player game (a disadvantage at my house), and...

101 Dalmations II: Patch's London Adventure was a great sequel to 101 Dalmations. Disney did a good job of making this movie worthwhile to watch.

This is the first in the popular series of movies about Air Bud.  This movie is rated PG and is 98 minutes long. The movie introduces the main character, Josh Framm. He has moved to a new town and feels alone. He loves basketball, but he's too shy to try out for the team. While practicing on his own, he meets a dog that, shockingly, knows how to play basketball. He can make the ball go...

Air Buddies is the newest movie in the Air Bud series, and the quality has not gone down in this movie. It is still one that I would highly recommend watching with your children. This movie is Rated PG for "some mild rude humor." It is very mild though, and I'm not sure that I would have given it this rating. In this movie, Air Bud is turning over part of the fame to his...

Air Bud Golden Receiver is another in a great series of movies by Disney.  This was the second in the series.  This movie is rated G for all general audiences and is 90 minutes long.

Air Bud: Spikes Back is the fifth movie in the Air Bud series. While with most series the further into the series you get, the movies tend to lose quality, the Air Bud series is escaping this norm. Every movie is just as great as the first one. In this movie, Andrea continues to show that she's not so great in sports, but Buddy continues to show how multi-talented he is. This time the two p...

Air Bud: World Pup is the third in the Air Bud series.  This one lives up to the expectations left behind by the first two. Disney does another great job! In this particular movie, Air Bud has 2 amazing thigns happen to him. First, he discovers his talent for soccer; and, he becomes a father for the first time. To begin this movie, Josh's mom marries a veterinarian, and Josh joins the ...

This is a Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Brewer. This is my favorite small appliance in my  house. If you like Iced Tea, you'll love this machine. We are avid tea drinkers, and the tea made with the iced tea maker is the best I've ever had.  Something about the process it goes through makes for an awesome quality that can't be duplicated.It works much like a coffee pot. 1. You fill u...

What can you say about this amazing movie that hasn't already been said? This has been a favorite in my house since it was released on VHS. We couldn't believe our luck when it was released in this spectacular 2 Disc Special Edition. Our favorite feature of this collection is that there are three different versions of the movie and some never before released scenes.  My youngest da...

"Bedknobs and Broomsticks" is a fairly old Disney movie (created in 1971), but it's still as interesting and entertaining today as it was when it was first created.  We recently found this DVD, and because it was one of my favorites growing up, I quickly put it in the cart to bring home and share with my family. The antics of Angela Landsbury and David Tomlinson still enterta...
