The 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital versions of the film are packed with more than 90 minutes* of bonus content only when you own, including two brand new, laugh-out-loud funny mini-movies – Super Gidget, featuring the film’s adorable Pomeranian Gidget and her best friend Max and Minion Scouts, starring everyone’s comical little helpers, the Minions.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 explores the emotional lives of our pets, the deep bond between them, the families that love them and answers the question: What are your pets really doing when you’re not at home? Terrier Max (Patton Oswalt) is coping with major life changes after Katie’s marriage and the arrival of a toddler, Liam. Meanwhile, Gidget (Jenny Slate) tries to rescue Max’s favorite toy from a cat-packed apartment with a little help from her feline friend, Chloe (Lake Bell), who has discovered the joys of catnip. And Snowball (Kevin Hart) believes, despite the other pets’ teasing, that he’s a superhero after his owner starts dressing him in superhero pajamas. But when Daisy (Tiffany Haddish), a fearless Shih Tzu, shows up to ask for Snowball’s help on a dangerous mission, he’ll have to summon the courage to become the hero he’s been pretending to be.

The film features an all-star voice cast including Patton Oswalt (TV’s “A.P.

My Take on the Movie

We loved the first Secret Life of Pets and we wondered if this movie would be as much fun as the first movie. In watching this I have to say that it was as funny as the first in my opinion. There were some great new characters and you will find yourself laughing out loud (or at least I did) a number of times throughout the movie.

There are some great characters that are new to this movie, but there are also all of your favorites too. This was truly action packed and you will love seeing the growth that happens in the character of Max.

If you did not see this before, you should. If you have seen it before, definitely see it again!

Meet New “TOY STORY 4” Characters: Trailer, Poster & Image

March 22, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Meet New "TOY STORY 4" Characters: Trailer, Poster & Image
The toys hit the road in “Toy Story 4” alongside friends—new and old—foes and, of course, Forky. Filmmakers welcomed Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves and Ally Maki to the toy box, revealing the three new characters they help bring to life.

Check out the new trailer and image!

Among the new faces is GABBY GABBY, an adorable, talking pull-string doll from the 1950s. But unfortunately for her, a manufacturing defect in her pull-string voice box has left her sounding anything but adorable. She has spent more than 60 years forgotten in the depths of a jam-packed antique store—her only companions are a band of voiceless ventriloquist dummies. Gabby Gabby knows someone will want her if only she can find a working voice box to repair hers.

Gabby Gabby is voiced by Christina Hendricks. “It became obvious right away that Christina was the perfect actress to play Gabby Gabby,” says director Josh Cooley. “She has the ability to sound inviting and friendly, then subtly become cold and terrifying in just a few words. It still gives me chills when I see Gabby’s introduction in the film. Also, Christina told me that she preferred playing with ventriloquist dummies over dolls as a kid. That’s when I knew it was meant to be.”

Meet New "TOY STORY 4" Characters: Trailer, Poster & Image

In Disney•Pixar’s “Toy Story 4,” Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky, declares himself trash and not a toy, so Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. Featuring Tom Hanks as the voice of Woody, and Tony Hale as the voice of Forky, “Toy Story 4” opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019.

DUKE CABOOM is a 1970s toy based on Canada’s greatest stuntman. Riding his powerful Caboom stunt-cycle, Duke is always prepared to show off his stunt poses with confidence and swagger. However, Woody learns quickly that Duke has an Achilles heel: He has never been able to do the awesome stunts advertised in his own toy commercial. For years, Duke has been sitting in an antique store, constantly reliving the failures of his tragic past.

Duke Caboom is voiced by another great Canadian, Keanu Reeves. “The first time Josh [Cooley] and I talked with Keanu about the role, Keanu became Duke Caboom,” says producer Jonas Rivera. “Keanu was asking great questions that dug deep to find the soul of the character. At one point he stood up on the table in the middle of Pixar’s atrium and struck poses while proclaiming victory. It was so funny. It’s all in the movie and it’s all Keanu.”

GIGGLE MCDIMPLES is a miniature plastic doll from the 1980s Giggle McDimples toy line. Giggle is Bo Peep’s best friend. Small enough to perch on Bo’s shoulder, Giggle is Bo’s confidant, supporter and advisor. “Giggle is Bo’s Jiminy Cricket—we’re able to get insight on Bo through their relationship together,” says Cooley. “Giggle is definitely the smallest toy in the Toy Story universe. She’s been stepped on, vacuumed up, and probably put up a kid’s nose in her time.”

Meet New "TOY STORY 4" Characters: Trailer, Poster & Image

Ally Maki voices the tiny character. “Giggle McDimples literally pops on the screen because of Ally’s personality and infectious energy,” says Cooley. “Nobody can laugh like Ally Maki.”

BENSON is a classic, antique ventriloquist dummy, and Gabby Gabby’s right hand. He leads a small group of ventriloquist dummies that serve as Gabby’s henchmen. With no person to give them a voice, these silent toys patrol the antique store with a looming quietness that is inherently unsettling.

“The dummies are, by far, some of the creepiest characters we’ve ever created,” says producer Mark Nielsen. “Our animators really leaned into the truth in materials for how our ventriloquist dummies move. Dummies’ bodies are soft with no structure, so our dummies’ arms just dangle and their legs bend backwards. Throw in their fixed expressions with their wide eyes and big hinged jaws and they’re nightmare material—in the best way possible.”

 

ABOUT “TOY STORY 4”:

Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries.

 

Directed by Josh Cooley (“Riley’s First Date?”), and produced by Jonas Rivera (“Inside Out,” “Up”) and Mark Nielsen (associate producer “Inside Out”), Disney·Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” ventures to U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019.

Movie Review – Smallfoot

December 4, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

smallfoot

About Smallfoot

Smallfoot is a new movie produced by Warner Animation. Based on the book Yeti Tracks by Sergio Pablos, the film was co-written and directed by Karev Kirkpatrick, and stars the voices of Channing Tatum, James Corden, Zendaya, Common, LeBron James, Gina Rodriguez, Danny DeVito, Yara Shahidi, Ely Henry, and Jimmy Tatro. Smallfoot follows a group of Yeti who come across a human, with each species thinking the other was just a myth.

 

My take on Smallfoot

When I originally saw the trailer for this movie I knew that it looked like a movie that my entire family would enjoy. While I did not see this in the theater, I was excited to have this sent to me for a movie night with the family. Small Foot did not disappoint. The animation in this movie was fun and for me, the characters within this film were so unique and fun. While you only get to know a few of the characters well, the ones you do get to know were fun and definitely were ones that I would love to get to know personally as well.

The movie had themes of family and friendship as well as looking at what you would do to guard your loved ones and whether you would set aside what you know and believe for the betterment or detriment of your society. This may sound like the movie is a heavy movie, but it is not. The movie does have some deep moments, but here are some great light-hearted moments that made me laugh out loud, many of which surrounded the mountain goat in the film.

There also was some great music that went throughout the film. This movie is a family friendly film that I highly recommend to all!

Ralph Breaks the Internet - New Trailer & Poster

I’m so excited to share with you the new trailer and poster for Ralph Breaks the Internet!

In Ralph Breaks the Internet, video-game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and best friend Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) leave the comforts of Litwak’s arcade in an attempt to save her game, Sugar Rush. Their quest takes them to the vast, uncharted world of the internet where they rely on the citizens of the internet—the Netizens—to help navigate their way. Lending a virtual hand are Yesss (voice of Taraji P. Henson), the head algorithm and the heart and soul of the trend-making site “BuzzzTube,” and Shank (voice of Gal Gadot), a tough-as-nails driver from a gritty online auto-racing game called Slaughter Race, a place Vanellope wholeheartedly embraces—so much so that Ralph worries he may lose the only friend he’s ever had. Directed by Rich Moore (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph”) and Phil Johnston (co-writer “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Zootopia,” writer, “Cedar Rapids”), and produced by Clark Spencer (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Bolt,” “Lilo & Stitch”), “Ralph Breaks the Internet” hits theaters on Nov. 21, 2018.

My Take on the Movie!

This is a great finale to an amazing series! You get a ton of episodes stuck onto one disc and my kids and I have had a blast watching (and re-watching) many of our favorite episodes thus far and I see this only continuing into the future as well. We love the characters in the series and this last season was an exciting, action packed one that I know we will never forget. We loved the whole series and are sorry that this was the finale but we are hoping there will be spin offs in the future! If you are a fan of Star Wars and this series, this is a must have season!

DESPICABLE ME 3,

My Take on the Movie

Despicable Me 3 was such a funny film. With things now working in the way that Gru wishes and feeling a bit misplaced in hos new role as a good guy, this movie was a great movie that shows the characters that you know and love but also get to meet Gru’s twin brother too. My girls and I were laughing so hard throughout this film. We have watched it twice since we got it, and I can tell that this will only be a start to a long relationship.  We all are hoping that there will be a Despicable Me 4 in the future as we get to know more about Drew.

7 Animated Movies to Watch with the Whole Family

7 Animated Movies to Watch with the Whole Family

7 Animated Movies to Watch with the Whole Family

When it comes to family time our family loves to snuggle up and watch great animated movies. There have been some great animated movies over the last few years that if you have not seen them yet, I highly recommend them to you and your family. Below are seven animated movies that are family friendly and ones that you will love!

The LEGO Batman Movie

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4116284/

 

There are many sides to Batman. On one hand, he is a vigilante that hunts miscreants by night. On the other hand, he is a dork, as envisioned in the new “LEGO Batman Movie.” This is one of those comedies that would offer no satisfaction if watched alone. It’s packed with action from start to finish, as well as with high-quality humor that will make you never look the same at the knight from Gotham City. All things considered, it’s undoubtedly one of the most well-made parodies in the past few years. “Life doesn’t give you seatbelts” – Batman, 2017. The thing is, this movie does not either. It’s the perfect choice for a sunny weekend. Have fun beatboxing with Batman!

 

Kubo and the Two Strings

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4302938/

 

Stop-motion animation movies never go out of style, and this one definitely revamps this industry. The movie tells the story of Kubo, a gifted musician, magician, and warrior. He enrolls in an adventure to find the armor of his deceased father in order to grant its magic power and fight off various antiheroes. The animation is full of color and great music (Beatles on the amazing shamisen) and features well-known actors, including Charlize Theron and Ralph Fiennes. This is not your average anime – it’s a beautiful and equally laborious 1 hour and 40 minutes of state-of-the-art craftsmanship and story-telling. Kubo will make your children feel like heroes and will teach them that they can overcome any impediment if they have friends by their side.

 

The Boss Baby

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3874544/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

 

This comedy is fun to watch as it is showing the life of seven-year-old Tim Templeton who has always been the center of love and affection from his parents. Eventually, that changes when out of nowhere, an improbable new brother comes one day at the door of the family. Dressed in a black suit, complimented with a tie and a briefcase, the child steals all the attention, but nobody except Tim thinks that he is strange. The movie shows how to put differences aside and join forces in order to fight for a bigger cause, in this case: defeating the head of Puppy.

 

Smurfs: The Lost Village

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2398241/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

In this new movie about the Smurfs we all love, we get to see how a mysterious map sets Smurfette, Brainy, Hefty and Clumsy on an adventure filled with action, danger, magical creatures, and mystery. The purpose of the journey is to find the lost village, but they have to do it before the evil wizard, Gargamel. The movie is aimed at a younger audience, but adults shouldn’t find it hard to remember and fall in love again with all the crazy smurfs.

 

Moana

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3521164/?ref_=nv_sr_1


The movie revolves around Moana Waialiki, a descendent of a long line of navigators. When her island is falling apart because there are no fish to catch and the crops fail, she finds out that the only responsible for this misfortune is the demigod Maui. She sets on a journey to find him in order to change the faith of her island. Little did she know the adventure that was about to come. The movie is truly breathtaking, and you’ll find yourself mesmerized by the visual effects and the emotional songs.

 

Zootopia

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2948356/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

Zootopia tells the story of Judy Hopps, the first rabbit ever to become a police officer. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her as she is learning how tough is it to enforce the law in the mammal metropolis. She wants to overcome the prejudice that a rabbit is a weak animal that can’t fit in the police department. Determined to prove what she is able to do, she must solve a mysterious case with a wily fox who only makes her job harder. The movie delivers a useful lesson of integrity, love, peace, and unity, all in a delightful and impressive story.

 

Trolls

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1679335/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

This funny, smart animated comedy illustrates the journey to happiness and how much further some will go in order to obtain it. The movie sets the audience in a colorful, wondrous world, populated by extremely optimistic Trolls who live their life singing and dancing all the time. On the other hand, there are the pessimistic Bergens, who find pleasure in eating trolls. After the village is attacked by Bergens, only the happiest troll Poppy and the far-sighted Branch can save the life of their friends and family. The movie has a wonderful variety of songs and keeps you glued to the screen through all the adventure with funny lines and the great chemistry between the main characters.
