4 The Littlest Angel - On DVD November 15th - {review & giveaway}


THE CLASSIC CHILDREN’S STORY RE-IMAGINED!
 
THE LITTLEST ANGEL
Gets His Wings on DVD Tuesday, November 15th  
from Anchor Bay Entertainment
 
 
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Some Angels soar the skies, and some fall a little short. Anchor Bay Entertainment presents the DVD release of the new animated feature film, The Littlest Angel, heading to retail on Tuesday, November 15th.  A colorful adaptation of the  fifteenth best-selling children’s book of all time, The Littlest Angel takes us on a rousing adventure with a young, and sometimes mischievous, Angel, who must return to earth and earn his wings, a task that doesn’t prove to be easy. Experience the love, laughter and magic of one of the most popular children’s stories of all time.  From the classic book by Charles Tazewell, comes this lively CGI animated version filled with both humor and heart.
 
The Littlest Angel tells the story of a young boy who arrives in heaven before his time.  Home-sick and lonely, he will travel back to earth, with his friendly pup Halo, to retrieve a most selfless and precious gift for The Baby Jesus. First released in book form in 1946, The Littlest Angel became popular for its ornate words and phrases paired with beautifully muted oil paintings. Tazewell’s book was adapted into a TV musical in 1969 starring Johnny Whitaker, and theatrical versions continue to be done by schools and church groups today. The author would follow-up with another childhood favorite, "The Littlest Snowman," that would be read annually on the “Captain Kangaroo” show.
 
“This is a story that has made so many people happy over the years,” says Lance Thompson, one of the producers of the film. “We’ve added some new elements to this production, but this is still The Littlest Angel everyone remembers from their childhood, and one that parents will enjoy introducing to their kids. I think Tazewell would enjoy knowing his work lives on.”
 
It’s a modern twist on the timeless tale of an Angel that discovers the greatest gifts in life are faith, friendship and doing the right thing. This new version of The Littlest Angel features wonderful animation and great vocal talent, including Ron Perlman (“Beauty and The Beast,” Tangled), and is sure to become a holiday favorite, much like the book it’s based on. The Littlest Angel is a motion picture that will put a smile on everyone’s face, and what better gift is there than that.


Meet the Littlest Angel…

 


 
For more information about The Littlest Angel go to www.thelittlestangelmovie.com

We watched this movie, and it created a few questions from my 4 year old daughter.  She knows about heaven since that's where her great grandmother's recently went to live, but she still questioned certain things.  Little things, like "Are there dog in heaven?"  It was a great movie to watch with my kids, and we all enjoyed it.  It was a lovely story that I am sure we will watch a lot of! 

One lucky reader will win a copy of this delightful DVD!

0 Party Beans - Personalized Favors! {review}



Party Beans offers so many cute options for personalized favors.  I wish I had more things happening in life so that I could buy a ton of these awesome customizable favors.  The website is easy to browse, and once you find the perfect favor, it's super easy to design yourself!  Not only can you upload a photo, or design from your own computer, you can also choose from their designs as well.  There are a lot of great images to use, and you can put custom text on everything. 

Party Beans also has a promotional shop where you can get so many neat items with your business logo on them.  There is nothing better than handing a potential client/customer a really cool product that has your business information it!  It's fun yet very professional!

When I placed my order with Party Beans I chose to get the Jelly Belly Gift Box.  I was able to personalize the sleeve of the Jelly Belly 10-Flavor Gift Box (4.25oz).  It was so easy to add the backside image of my business card and place the order.  I received my product just a few days after I ordered it.  It shipped so fast!

I recommend Party Beans for all of your promotional and favor needs.  I can't wait to need to use them again!  Thank you Party Beans!






I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

0 CATDOG: SEASON 1 – PART 1 out on DVD NOW!

CATDOG: SEASON 1 – PART 1
POUNCES ITS WAY ONTO DVD
 
 The First 10 Episodes From The First Season Debuts On DVD

 October 18, 2011 from Shout! Factory
Running in circles has never been funnier or more exasperating unless you’re CatDog. Nickelodeon’s fraternal twins arrive kicking and screaming on DVD, October 18, 2011 from Shout! Factory. Featuring the first 10 episodes from the show’s premiere season, CatDog: Season 1 - Part 1 follows the adventures of the feline-canine brothers Cat and Dog, conjoinedtwins, who adore and irritate each other like fleas. Long anticipated by fans, CatDog: Season One - Part One has not been available in stores until now. A must have for fans of Nickelodeon, cartoon  fanatics and DVD collectors,  the two-disc DVD set has a suggested retail price of $19.93.
Like all of Nickelodeon’s classic shows, CatDog: Season One - Part One  features an all-star voice cast, which includes Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocko’s Modern Life), Jim Cummings (The Super Hero Squad ShowReno 911) and Carlos Alazraqui (The Fairly OddParentsRocko’s Modern Life).


A fan favorite,
 CatDog: Season One - Part Oneis a tale of opposites attached starring CatDog, the most unlikely brother duo ever seen. The conjoined brothers love each other yet they are so different, they can’t help but annoy themselves silly with their contrarian activities. Prim and proper, Cat is the very definition of culture, while Dog is the ultimate tail-wagging, sofa-jumping, car-chasing roughneck. But despite their very different personalities, CatDog are the best of friends, sticking to one another — literally — through thick and thin, even when it comes to facing off against their devious neighbor Winslow and the rough ’n’ tough gang of Greaser Dogs!
Created by Peter Hannan, CatDog premiered on Nickelodeon in1998 and ran for four seasons until 2001. Reruns aired onNicktoons from 2002 to 2011.
