Return from Witch Mountain

Tia and Tony are back! This time Tony gets kidnapped by a couple of villains looking to control him with a mind controlling device. Tia and a gang of little boys search around LA to find him. Tony almost looks evil. 

Christmas Cupid

Another 25 Days of Christmas movie! This one has some great stars in it. It is another take on A Christmas Carol. 

I liked this Christmas movie, yet another re-telling of A Christmas Carol. I liked the cast and I was happy to see a woman in the typical scrooge role. Loving Christmas in the Summer! 

Cars

Yay! It's time for another Disney Pixar movie! I love this one. 

The talking cars and hilarious characters are so fun. I watched this with my nephew when he was little and loved it so much I couldn't wait to show my son when he was old enough to understand the film. There are so many good quotes from this movie but I do love the Float like a Cadillac Sting like a Beemer quote. 

If you have kids or you like cars and racing, this is definitely one to see. 

Brink!

On to a Disney Channel Original Movie, Brink!

It is another rollerblading movie but is more focused on the sponsored teams and competitive sports side of it. I've always liked this one and what pre-teen didn't have a crush on the stars?! This is one I definitely enjoyed re-watching. 

Beverly Hills Family Robinson

Time for a Walt Disney Television movie. This is Beverly Hills Family Robinson! 

The mom is a famous TV host and she video tapes her family going on a vacation to Hawaii. Their yacht is taken by pirates and they end up on a deserted island where they build an amazing tree house with some surfer who also happens to be living there. 

The best part is Buffy is in it, and she is so young! This was definitely before her slaying days. 

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta!

We watched the last sequel to the Beverly Hills Chihuahua series. In this one, they move into a hotel when their owners get a job there. They were able to get a job at the hotel only if Chloe would make special appearances to promote the hotel. The puppies had to go to a Doggy Day School and Papi uncovered some mysterious things happening at the hotel.

Definitely better than I expected it to be, which is always a plus with a sequel. The Kid enjoyed it. 

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2

Continuing with the Beverly Hills Chihuahua series, we move on to the sequel.

Disney loves doing the talking-dogs thing, and it doesn't seem to get old. This movie was cute and there were definitely some funny parts that the kid enjoyed. I'm noticing a theme with the dog movies - the dogs always end up being a hero and catching some sort of bad guy. Interesting. 

One more in this series to go! 

Around the World in 80 Days

The Kid was much too busy to watch our next movie with us, which was fine because it wasn't super entertaining for his age (or ours.. really). 

Some parts were funny, and I did like a lot of the cast, but the movie overall was certainly not the best and most entertaining for a family movie. There are many others to spend your valuable time watching. But I don't care - I am loving this Disney mission and glad to have another one under my belt.

The kid has been learning some geography. We started with a map of the United States. He is learning all of the states and their locations. Each time he gets one right, he gets the M&M that was sitting on that state. He likes that part! 

Angels in the Outfield

I am very excited to watch this movie with the kid for his first time. We watched Angels in the Outfield all the time when I was little. 

There are so many memorable parts of this movie - when the guy sits on the nachos, when the little kid at the ball park literally runs home, or when the entire stadium stands up to do the angel signal. I'm excited to see the kid like it, too. Some movies from my youth seem like they are just too generational for today's kids, but these classic sports movies can still easily entertain young sports fans.

We took inspiration from the movie and played a twist on baseball. We used the kid's new Nerf bow and arrow and played with a plastic bat. The boys seemed to enjoy it! And the arrow is made of foam so no one got hurt.
