Fans of quality cinema and middle Earth can celebrate and be sad at the same time. The final chapter of the classic book hits DVD. The films have revolutionized how movies are made with their ground breaking special effects and the scope of how large movies can be done to meet the demands of fans and critics. To celebrate the release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies on Blu-Ray they’ve created an app that will test your knowledge about Middle Earth, navigate the area using a map and view videos that provide a behind the scenes look.

Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard, fabulous all age comic greatness
Mouse Guard is the best all age comic that I hadn’t read. My first interaction with Mouse Guard was a couple of years ago when they released something for Free Comic Book Day. That brief comic was amazing, the art was some of the prettiest that I’d seen, the story was cute and simply perfect for everyone. I must get the graphic novels that came before this I said. Alas, time passed and I forgot. Although I still read that free comic, I wanted more Mouse Guard. It is here and it is awesome.

Adventure Time: Frost & Fire on DVD review
I’m learning to love Adventure Time. Season 4 on DVD got me interested and now I’ve started to search it out online and on Roku also. The downside to watching it solely on your television streaming device is that they’ve only added the first two seasons. Adventure Time is in its sixth season now, that’s lots of silliness and Frost & Fire that you’re missing. Adventure Time: Frost & Fire focus in all on Flame Princess and Ice King.

If you do a search for top kindie artists Laurie Berkner is in any top 10 list. Since 2002 she’s been recording acoustic guitar children’s music to the delight of preschoolers, young children and adults everywhere. To be a fan of children’s music and not like Laurie Berkner is to say that you like rap, but don’t like Run DMC. She’s the blueprint of kindie for a reason and The Ultimate Luarie Berkner Band Collection is packed with 22 songs that prove that.

Raise Your Hand by The Not-Its is kindie rock at its best
There is a fine line between parody and children’s music. Good children’s music, kindie, is different beast entirely. Factor in trying to make great kindie music when you already have a reputation in that genre and it can be easier or more difficult.

What the kids are watching on Netflix #StreamTeam
We’re part of the Stream Team with Netflix and were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. Since we cut the cord our television time has shortened and the caliber of it has increased dramatically. Our kids don’t have to surf, instead they watch and under our supervision, watch some neat programming that we didn’t think that they would like. Here’s a look at what the kids are watching and a couple that I’ve been digging as well.
