Nocturna is a magical, animated sleeper for tweens and up

Nocturna is a Spanish language film that was released in 2007. It garnered a following and they demanded that it be released in English. Imagine if Guillermo del Torro made a children’s animated movie that had enough creative creepy creatures to slightly scary, but were charming once you got to know them? That is what I kept thinking while watching Nocturna. It’s such a sweet film that is so good at creating an alternate world within plain sight that you care about and are interested in the freaky animated characters.

To an extent it is all about the kids being happy when they’re in the car. The latest release from The Pop Ups firmly plants the music in your head, never lets go and is enjoyable from start to finish for many reasons.

Two years in-here’s what we learned streaming only #StreamTeam

I’m part of the #StreamTeam, a group of bloggers that works with Netflix. All thoughts are our own. In the fall of 2012 my wife and I realized that we were watching the wrong kind of programming on television. We were channel surfing and settling for things to watch, as opposed to seeking out the good stuff that we should’ve been watching. It was then that we decided to stream all of the programming on our television. Netflix has been a part of that including introducing our child to countless quality children’s programs, most of which are with a British accent.

Optimus Prime, Random Acts of Booing and #OrangeTuesday #ad

This is a compensated post. All thoughts are our own and that really is us under the costume. I do love to dress up. However, I enjoy dressing up a bit more when it’s anonymous. To quote numerous bad lyrics, you can act a fool when you’re wearing a mask and it’s OK, acceptable, fun and occasionally inspiring. We dressed up as Optimus Prime and went to a couple parties, both of which weren’t expecting us and here’s what we saw in our quest of discovering that life is more fun in costume from Buy Costumes.

CatDog, the complete series hits DVD exclusively at Wal-Mart

Millennia from now when people dig up entertainment time capsules from the 90’s they might, depending on the size of the capsule, find the complete series of CatDog in there. CatDog aired on Nickelodeon from 1998-2005 and has that look of Ren and Stimpy without being as crude, for better or worse. It’s the tell-tale animation that looks distinctive, rough and usually has characters with lots of moxie.
