I am a fan of watching wholesome family films with my family, and love it when I can buy DVDs that contain a handful of family favorites. Echo Bridge Home Entertainment offers just that, and with 3 new family themed DVDs which are set to be released this month, I wanted to make sure you knew about them. These DVDs would make for great Easter basket fillers, or just great DVDs to pick up and share with your family.

My Thoughts:
I was sent a copy of each of these DVDs to watch with my family and have to say that it was hard choosing favorites. I loved the selection of movies from each DVD, as many included family classics that I watched with my parents growing up. Children of all ages, as well as adults will enjoy sitting down and watching these Miramax films. And, if you are a parent who likes to screen movies before you let your little ones watch, no need to worry, as each of these combo DVDs offers wholesome movies that you will not have to cover your child's eyes or fast forward through, when watching. Even though my children are too young to watch and understand these movies, I enjoyed watching them with my husband, as he never saw the majority of the titles. I loved hearing his thoughts on each, which was always favorable. And, when he told me his favorite film was White Fang, I couldn't help but smile because this was my favorite growing up.
Which of these family films will become your family's favorite? I bet it will be hard to choose just one. And, like I said, these DVDs, which are reasonably priced at $14.99, will make for a great Easter gift. Why rent, when you can own wonderful family classics today?
