The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition

Did you know Canada..  out today, October 1st, is a Blu-ray Combo Pack that I have been waiting for - The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition!

This was an absolute favourite of mine growing up and I was SO excited to share it with my boys.  Even though it stars Ariel the mermaid, this movie is not just for little girls by far.  My boys loved Sebastian the Caribbean crab, sweet Flounder and was mesmerized by the sneaky sea witch Ursula.

Some movies from my youth are a flop with the boys and today's generation, but as well all know, Disney movies stand the test of time and are a favourite for every one.

Another reason to grab this one is the awesome 3 hours of Bonus Features including..

• "Part of your World" Music Video
• Disney Intermission (press pause and see what happens)
• Crab-E-OKE Sing Along
• Never-Before-Seen Deleted Character
• Part Of Her World: Jodi Benson's Voyage To New Fantasyland
• @DisneyAnimation - Go Behind the Scences
• Howard's Lecture - Music in Movies
• Under The Scene
• And more!!

With unforgettable characters, thrilling adventures, soaring Academy Award-winning music (1989: Best Music, Original Score, and Best Music, Original Song, Under The Sea.), The Little Mermaid is one of the most celebrated animated films of all time.

I LOVE combo packs because it means we can watch the Blu-Ray in the house and still have a DVD to take out into the van, it also includes a digital copy for your smart phone, tablet or computer!

With NEW State-Of-The-Art Digital Restoration and Disney's 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio this is The Little Mermaid like you've never seen it before, enjoy this one with your family today!

Planes Flying Into Theaters Today

Did you know Canada.. Planes is a new amazing Disney movie hitting the theaters this week. From creators of Cars, Planes are going higher and definitely faster into the wide opening sky to pursue the dreams, fell in love and find many good friends around the world.


The movie starts with Dusty Crophopper, a crop duster plane, who is dreaming to join the around-the-world “Wings of the Globe” race along with other planes despite his fear of heights. It is great that around him buddies also hopelessly believe in him like forklift Dottie and fuel truck Chug. When I and my little one watched the movie we had a strange feeling that Dottie and Chug were Dusty’s mom and dad.


Dusty turned out to be very lucky to get into the race and compete with other planes in speed and endurance. It was impressive to see Dusty’s knowledge of other planes, their achievements, skills and best turns. He also showed so much support and respect to every single plane competing in a race.

The competition started and as the reporter questioned: everyone wanted to know who will be #2, since no one doubted previous races winner Ripslinger would be #1. But as it sometimes happens that nothing can stop big dreams and everything can change in Planes lives, from being a favorite and #1 to a loser, and from emergency room patient with no hope to continue the race to a super plane thanks to good friends support.

The movie is also filled with romantic moments, first one I love when incredibly hot Mexican plane El Chupacabra was trying to win the heart of beautiful Canadian plane Rochelle with his passionate singing. And my second favorite is when South Asian plane Ishani invited Dusty to show the heartbreaking surroundings during their Asian flight. Huge advantage that this movie came out in 3D, giving amazing views of the sky, clouds and planes crossing the air. It was really spectacular movie to watch and my boy loved it a lot, nothing is compared to flying into the sky.

Planes in 3D opens in theatres today, so Ladies and Gentleplanes are you ready to join the race and fly across the Globe?
