Escape to Witch Mountain


This was my first time watching this movie in its entirety. I have watched the Disney Channel 90's version quite a few times in my youth so I thought they were the same but there were a lot of differences. In this one, the twins already knew each other and grew up together with a family before being orphaned and sent to live at an orphanage. People just seem to accept that these kids have special powers pretty easily in this movie.

Endurance


This movie was a cross between a Documentary and Drama where the actor played the role of himself. It shows his life and determination to get to the Olympics in 1996. It was interesting to see how he lived in Ethiopia, running miles to school each day and hoping to make it in time and then running home to help work with his family.

Enchanted


Oh, I absolutely love this movie! It needs to make a comeback, now! It was so good. 

Enchanted starts off as an animated movie with a princess, prince, and evil queen/stepmother. As part of an evil scheme, the princess is sent off to the real world where she stays with a man and his daughter and makes rodents clean their apartment. It is all very funny and musical and wonderful.

Eloise at the Plaza


This movie is great for kids who love Dennis the Menace and Home Alone and any type of movie where children meddle in other people's business. It is based off the book series "Eloise at the Plaza". 


My son and I definitely enjoyed it - there was a lot of giggling going on. I may have to check out the book series now!

Eight Below


The next movie on our list is Eight Below. It was a great movie inspired by a true story. There were these wonder huskies that were in the Antarctic surviving on their own as they waited for their owner to come back to them. The owner tried so hard to return but it was difficult. Paul Walker plays the owner, Jerry, which made the movie seem even sadder because he passed a few years ago. 


It was a good movie and I certainly recommend it if you are a dog lover or interested in the Antarctic.

Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off



A DCOM about a boy who falls in love with cooking. It was definitely not a story I heard before and I ended up liking most of the movie.


Really, I was just annoyed with the dad. Everyone knows kids can be lame and tease each other for every little thing but the dad in this movie really bothered me when he wouldn't let his kid pursue his interests and made him feel so bad about it that he agreed to continue playing baseball for him. I am happy to say he does change his tune by the end. 

Now to make my husband watch some Food Network shows until he falls in love with cooking, too... .

Earth




Next up is a Disney Nature film called Earth. I just love these Disney Nature films!! I didn't think I would be into documentaries as much as I am finding with these ones. They are well done.

Dumbo


Can you believe that this is the first time I have ever seen this movie in its entirety? No, seriously!



This movie is a classic without princesses and one I recommend seeing!
