3 2 1 Penguins!
Save the Planets!
Favorite Features -
three stories on one dvd -
The Green-eyed Monster - The penguins are called to save a planet when two groups of sheep become jealous of each other and green-eyed monsters show up and eat everything they see! The twins learn important lessons about being thankful for what you have and happy for others for what they have!
More is More - Once again the penguins fly into action to help the planet of Gutt when it's citizens can't get enough sugar-frosted cereal to eat! The penguins have to try and find a way to keep the planet from being thrown off course by their overeating people! The twins learn what it means to live with moderation!
Give and Let Give - a planet of Garden Gnomes and Pink Flamingos fight over water rights during a drought so the Penguins show up to help them, and the twins, learn to share instead of feud!
These unique penguins have important lessons to teach the twins, and all of us about how to get along! Humor throughout makes these stories ones the entire family can enjoy! Tremendously well done!

Disney
Chronicles of Narnia
- Prince Caspian
Rated - PG
Favorite Features -
incredible music
imaginative sets and costumes bring the story to life
strong message of standing for freedom
I loved "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" and am thrilled the second in this series, "Prince Caspian", continues the quality and excellence of the first movie! The return of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy allows all of us to return to the stories written by C.S. Lewis and once again enter the land of Narnia to experience the excitement and danger of this land! An absolute "must have" for every family's video library! Tremendously well done! I can not wait for "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader"!
Wall*E
Rated - G
Wall*E is a unique movie character and while this movie has a very slow start and almost over the top environmental messages, the ending is one with much to get families talking about. The Bonus features add to the fun! Well done!
