Recess Monkey, Hot Air is intelligent, fun kindie that the whole family will love

From the first: 90 of Hot Air, the 12^th release from Recess Monkey you will be hooked. From that period on I was smiling; bobbing my head and was torn between what I wanted more, to replay the song I had heard or to discover the next song. There is a reason that Recess Monkey is one of the top names in kindie and this release is a great example of what quality music should be, regardless of the genre or audience.

Sonic Boom Tails’ Plane with Tails is durable, active play kids 4 and up

Well hello Sonic; I knew you as a video game back in the day, now you’re back as a show on Cartoon Network and a lineup of toys to boot. First off, I’d like to thank you for not being in Pixels. We’ve heard nothing but negative things about that film and we like you just fine on your television show. It’s great that Tails is getting some attention too. While you’re the namesake, Tails’ ability to fix things and flip about has always been something that we’d like to emulate. We played with Tails’ Plane with Tails and aside from the way our mind twists due to the number of times we said tails, the toy is quite nice and is one that our five year old likes to fly around the house.

Shaun the Sheep is the best family film of the year #FandangoFamily

Wait, he must not have seen Inside Out, you’re saying to yourself. I did see that and loved every moment of it. However, the difference is that I expected to like that film, whereas my expectations for Shaun the Sheep were low. I am a big Shaun the Sheep fan; we’ve had the DVDs for years, have a couple picture books and relish the chance when we can watch it. Having said that, there were lulls in the feature length Wallace & Gromit movies and we really love those. Plus, even the television length Shaun the Sheep episodes had our mind wandering-and they’re only 12 minutes or so. For the film version of Shaun the Sheep Aardman nails it to the floor in their best movie, a classic stop animation masterpiece and something that the entire family can watch with everyone enjoying it.

Good memories of a friend of mine #Wishes4Riley

It’s a strange thing when a friend dies. It makes you re-evaluate your life, the way you act and in our case makes us appreciate things. You may have seen Stephanie’s picture floating around social media or on the news about her death. She was an Atlanta mom who went swimming, had symptoms of a summer flu the next day, but that escalated to a loss of all muscle control and then a short three weeks later death.

New All Age Comic Books for Wednesday August 5, 2015

Listen closely and you’ll hear the happy cries of kids going back to school and the parents who are taking them there. It’s win/win. You should also listen for fans of Regular Show because they’ve got issue #26 and a original graphic novel from them called Regular Show Noir Means Noir Buddy. The cover for that book alone brings a big smile to our face.

Peanuts is ramping up for the film by re-issuing the ultra early comic strips in book from again. These are some of the strips from the early to mid 50’s and have aged quite well. The Mighty Skullboy Loony, Tunes, Bat-Mite and Bob’s Burgers are some of the new all age comics that hit this week.

Fraggle Rock Journey to the Everspring comes out on hardcover this week and is a fabulous series. The art and colors in this book remind you of what you loved about Fraggles or will introduce you to a whole new world.

The links at TFAW will save you at least 20% on your comics. If you want to find you local comic book store just dig into the locator and visit them today.

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is perfect movie action fun #FandangoFamily

A film series almost 20 years old shouldn’t be getting markedly better is the convention wisdom. However, that is exactly what’s going on with Mission Impossible. The first one was OK, the second one was lame, the third was good, the fourth one was great and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is a fabulous experience. It’s the best one in the series and is probably the most fun you’ll have at the movies this summer.

The Magic School Bus Season Three: education via the looking glass

The Magic School Bus is a show that flew under our radar when it first came out in 1994. The third season of the show is out on DVD and it’s one that our children watch consistently. Not only that, we’ve started watching with them and thoroughly enjoy it. Imagine childhood questions being answered by Lilly Tomlin, asking if you want the blue or red pill before you go on your Matrix-esque, kid friendly 26 minute journey and you have an idea about this series.
