Both of my girls were so excited when they saw the new "SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete Ninth Season" DVD arrive at our door the other day, as they are both huge SpongeBob SquarePants fans, along with husband, who turns into a kid when he watches this show with them. :-)  

It was hard to keep this DVD away from the kids as they couldn't wait to watch the all 4 Discs (over 9 hours of SpongeBob SquarePants fun).  If I would have let them binge watch this new DVD, they would have...well, at least my husband was up for the challenge.  Even though they have already watched all the episodes that make up the 9th season, they couldn't wait to watch them over again, as per Bella's words "they are all super amazing and worth watching again and again." 

We have only had this 4-DVD release for a short time, but my husband and daughters are making their way through the first disc.  While I cook dinner, my husband will put on a couple episodes for him and the girls to watch.  All I hear from the living room is giggling and laughing.  I never got into this show, but my girls love it, and it is a way for them to bond over a show with my husband and spend quality time together, so I am all for it.  My girls were so excited to add this new "SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete Ninth Season"  to their growing SpongeBob DVD collection, and I know your child will want this new release, too, if they are big fans of this popular animated series (enjoyed by both kids and adults).  And, with the holidays fast approaching, this new release would make for a great gift to unwrap on Christmas morning. :-)

---

My Thoughts:

This was one DVD my girls had been hoping I would get for review, as they are huge Shimmer and Shine fans.  If you have young children who watch Nick Jr., then you have probably sat for an episode (or more) of Shimmer and Shine.  This popular animated series follows two genie sisters in training, Shimmer and Shine.  A young girl, Leah, is the human that these two genies are assigned, and make her wishes come true.  But, like I said, these genies are learning, so you should expect some (or most) wishes to be carried out wrong. The genies learn from their mistakes and never give up, and I love the theme of friendship as well in this series.

When my girls saw this DVD arrive in the mail, they couldn't wait to watch it.  Even though they have already seen the three episodes that make up this new release, they were ready to watch them again for the upteenth time. :-)   This is one of those shows that the girls could watch an episode over and over without getting bored, as it such an interesting and fun show.

Here are the episodes that you will find on this new DVD release, available in stores and online today...

 

Shimmer and Shine: Welcome to Zahramay Falls includes the following episodes:

• Welcome to Zahramay Falls - Shimmer and Shine receive a special Green Burst Gem from Princess Samira and bring it into the human world. The evil sorceress Zeta uses magic to steal the gem, but her spell goes awry and pulls Leah and Zac intoZahramay Falls.  
• First Wish (Double Episode) - Leah wins a genie bottle pendant at a carnival and is surprised to find that her prize comes with a bonus - Shimmer and Shine.  Leah wishes for a polka-dotted elephant and things get complicated when Leah uses her remaining wishes to keep Zac from seeing the elephant. In the end, the girls create a new carnival attraction and learn that they can overcome any obstacle by working together.
• Happy Wishaversary - It's time for Shimmer, Shine and Leah to celebrate their Wishaversary! In honor of their Wishaversary, Shimmer and Shine make Leah the perfect gift-a bracelet with a magical touch. When Leah puts the bracelet on, she can float like a genie. However, when Zac shows up to play a video game with Leah, Rocket gets a hold of the bracelet and starts to float. Leah must play the video game with Zac, while also working with the genies to retrieve the magical bracelet before Zac sees Rocket floating away. 

My girls are already putting together their wish lists for Santa and Shimmer and Shine toys and clothes are top on their list.  I see this DVD being a great stocking stuffer idea.  It would even make a great back-to-school movie night.  This is one DVD that every Shimmer and Shine fan will want to have, especially for the popular Welcome to Zahramay Falls episode.  This was one episode that had my girls' eyes glued to the screen, and one they talked about with their friends for days later.

THE DOG WHO SAVED SUMMER -- Available on DVD & On Demand June 2 (Review)

Disclosure:  I was sent a screener copy from the vendor in order to write up an honest review.  All views shared are mine and mine alone.

Pre-order from Amazon on DVD for only $9.99 now

With summer fast approaching, families are looking to spend more time together.  And, what better way than to pop some popcorn and settle in on the couch to watch a fun family-friendly movie?

Recently, I was sent a review copy of the upcoming release, "The Dog Who Saved Summer," which arrives on DVD and On Demand on June 2nd.  Just seeing the front cover of the DVD with just the cutest dog holding a Frisbee on the beach, I knew my girls, who love dogs, especially big ones, would go crazy for this movie...and, they did.  As soon as they saw me put the DVD on the TV stand to watch later, they were quick to pick up and start talking about.  I told them they would have to wait until the weekend to watch it, but it was only Wednesday and I knew they, and I, wouldn't be able to hold off until then.

I told the girls that if they napped Thursday AM, that when they woke up we would watch the movie.  Out of the whole week, this was the only day they napped -- go figure.  When you start watching this movie you find yourself loving the cast which includes Dean Cain, Gary Valentine, Elisa Donovan, Patrick Muldoon and even Mario Lopez, who voices the K-9 Zeus.

The movie itself, which is rated PG, has a run time of over 89 minutes, making it perfect for even the youngest of viewers to sit and enjoy with getting antsy.  My three year old, Bella, couldn't get enough of this movie, and asked to watch it again, as the credits started to roll.

While many dog movies are cheesy, I have to say that this was really a fun and one even my husband and I enjoyed watching.  It moved along well, and kept everyone engaged and entertained.  And, if you are a dog lover like my family is, you'll love this movie.

Here is more about this upcoming family-friendly movie from Anchor Bay Entertainment...

Synopsis: 

When former police K-9 Zeus (voiced by Lopez) accidentally destroys an important party, the Bannister family decides it’s time to send him to obedience school. Classes start off on the wrong paw when the no-nonsense instructor Vernon (Kove) and his Marine K-9 assistant Apollo (voiced by Zabka) fail Zeus on every lesson. Fearing the pound may be his next stop, Zeus and the Bannister children (Capaldi and Jensen) enlist help from a janitor who teaches them his unique training methods that could help Zeus win “Top Dog” at the school’s showcase. Meanwhile, a familiar trio of bumbling burglars (Cain, Muldoon and Diaz) is planning a daring diamond heist. Zeus must outsmart the thieves, as well as his hard-nosed instructor, in order to win the big tournament and foil the jewelry robbery before it’s too late.
