DIY Wreck-It Ralph Family Costume Ideas for Florida Weather

I love that my kids are getting to the age where they love family themed Halloween costumes. It’s really the bomb-dot-com. And with Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 movie sequel coming out this fall, it’s time to wreck it with some really amazing costumes for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. But Houston, we have a problem.

Wreck-It Ralph never had to deal with Florida heat and humidity…in August. A predicted 90 degree night meant a few Florida modifications to the classic Disney look. But I can fix it! See how we made these DIY Wreck-It Ralph Family Costume Ideas for our Not So Scary night, kid and Florida weather approved!

Christopher Robin Movie Review | Safe for Kids? #ChristopherRobin

Disney has been on a live-action film kick. And next in the line of films is a live-action Winnie the Pooh, aka Disney’s Christopher Robin. While these certainly well-loved characters have earned their place in the Disney film world, the thought of a Winnie the Pooh sequel seemed…off. After the Incredibles 2 PG rating, I was a little leary about another Disney PG rating. In this Disney’s Christopher Robin Movie Review | Safe for Kids? we breakdown the PG rating from a parent point of view, thoughts on the plot line and of course, no spoilers. Let’s see if Disney’s newly imagined Winnie the Pooh is for adult and children audiences alike.

About Teen Titans Go! to the Movies

When the Teen Titans go to the big screen, they go big! “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” finds our egocentric, wildly satirical Super Heroes in their first feature film extravaganza — a fresh, gleefully clever, kid – appropriately crass and tongue-in-cheek play on the superhero genre, complete with musical numbers.

It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies —everyone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously Super-Villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!

The first-ever big-screen version of DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network’s animated TV show stars Greg Cipes (TV’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) as Beast Boy, Scott Menville (TV’s “Spider-Man”) as Robin, Khary Payton (“The Walking Dead”) as Cyborg, Tara Strong (the “My Little Pony” franchise) as Raven, and Hynden Walch (TV’s “Adventure Time with Finn & Jake”) as Starfire, reprising their roles from the series. Will Arnett (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”) and Kristen Bell (“Frozen”) also lend their voices and, in guest roles, Superman super fan and Oscar winner Nicolas Cage (“Leaving Las Vegas”) portrays the Man of Steel; singer songwriter Halsey lends her voice to Wonder Woman; and rapper-singer Lil’ Yachty plays Green Lantern.

What Are Jack-Jack’s Powers in Incredibles 2? All “17” Explained

Written by christie 2 Comments

“You have powers! Yeah, baby!” What are Jack-Jack’s Powers in Incredibles 2? Let’s explain all 17 that we know of with a little help from the Pixar animators. This post is sponsored by Pixar. All incredible opinions are my own.

What Are Jack-Jack’s Powers in Incredibles 2? All “17” Explained

Think parenting is hard? Try to parent a super baby. The baby has always been the “unknown, the x factor” of any family, which is why naturally Brad Bird made Jack-Jack a focus character of the Incredibles films. Incredibles 2 (which if you haven’t had a chance to read my movie review yet, it answers the question “Is Incredibles 2 safe for kids?”) is the first time that the Parr family figures out that Jack-Jack has powers and of course, panic, chaos and hilarity ensue. Arguably the most powerful of the Parr family, Jack-Jack steals the show with his impressive display of powers throughout the film. And according to Bob Parr, there’s 17 that we know of…well, so far. So that got me thinking. What are Jack-Jack’s powers in Incredibles 2? Can we nail down all 17? In short the answer is yes, yes we can.

Is the world ready for another Pixar sequel? I admit, when I heard there was an Incredibles 2 in production, I both cheered and cringed at the same time. There’s something about the preservation of the original Incredibles memories we love and the excitement of the unknown that always put sequels in the “question mark” category for me. Did Disney really want to “super” tank a good thing after 14-years of sequel potential? Find out if 14-years was worth the incredibly long wait in this Incredibles 2 Movie Review | Safe for Kids? – breakdown of that PG rating from a parent point of view, thoughts on the plot line and of course, no spoilers.
