Aladdin and the King of Thieves

This week we watched the third Aladdin movie. 

Robin Williams is back as the Genie, making a ton of pop culture references and jokes. We meet Aladdin's father, who turns out to be the King of Thieves searching for the Hand of Midas. 

Once again, I love the music. I am excited to hear they are planning to make a live-action Aladdin movie about the Genies. As far as the straight-to-video sequels go, I think the Aladdin sequels are pretty good. 

We were inspired by the thieve's secret hide-out and the Cave of Wonders from the original movie. We found a cavern nearby to explore. If you are wondering where you can find a cave or cavern to tour in the U.S., check out this website. It was a really cool experience -literally - it was 52 degrees while the surface was somewhere around 95 degrees (F). 

101 Dalmatians (Live Action)

Already I get to see a remake of a classic, this time a Live Action version. The Dalmatian craze continues...

Cruella is definitely not as nasty looking in this version. I like the retold story of how Cruella and Anita know each other, too. In the animated version I just didn't understand how Cruella knew about the puppies to begin with. Again Chris giggled at Jasper and Horace, and Frank was less impressed with the Live-Action version of his favorite. 

This week we stopped at a local pet store to visit some puppies - a free activity unless you end up going home with one! We did not, but they are cute.
