Dreamworks DINOTRUX is Coming to Netflix

dinot_key_003_h

What do we get when we cross dinosaurs with construction trucks? We get an all new series by Dreamworks called Dinotrux coming exclusively to Netflix August 14th. Roaming the earth with large tracks and an appetite for Ore, Dinotrux are half dinosaur and half truck living in the Mechazoic Era. Basically, the Jurassic era and the construction industry combine in the first exciting “action show” made for younger kids. Inspired by the book series called Dinotrux by Chris Gall, this great show features strong messages about independence and cooperation with fun dinosaur and construction vehicle action, humor and adventure.

Dinotrux carries with it the realism of actual working vehicles and their capabilities in the field. There is no science fiction or fantasy uses for the vehicles, well except for the part that it is half dinosaur…that could be pretty fanciful. However, even though these characters are Dinotrux, a dump truck is a dump truck and is used as such. While the characters may find creative uses for their mechanics to solve problems, the viewers will never see anything outside of the realm of reality in terms of machinery and its uses. So for those hoping to see anti-gravity bulldozers or teleporting cranes, this may not be the show for you. There are however, bugs that can fly like drones and dinosaurs that almost have a transformer like quality when activating their mechanics.

Dinotrux with dinofly and rivvet

The combination of both dinosaurs and trucks will really capture the hearts of the younger kids in the home. It is pretty hard to go wrong when two beloved themes come together. While it may be geared (pun intended) towards the younger kids, it is also a great series for the family to watch. The characters are very entertaining in design as machine blends perfectly with a dinosaur. I found myself examining the tools and how they are displayed on each dinosaur. Revvit, a razor-sharp Reptool, has different bits attached to his back like spines, which are perfect for repairing broken Dinotruxs.

rivvet dinotrux

While I was examining the machines and in total awe of the well thought out placement of each part, it suddenly hit me…I have heard the voice of Ty Rux before. Ty Rux is a Tyrannosaurus Trux with dreams of making a better place with his friends. His story is inspiring as he defends the weak and builds a better place by working with others, but his voice struck me. I think I spent at least a minute trying to place it, then a blue character formed in my mind. OMG…the voice is Andrew Francis who also voices Kord from Slugterra! My family and I are huge Slugterra fans and this just made the cartoon even more epic!

Ty Rux from DinotruxKord Zane

Ty Rux isn’t the only awesome character featured in Dinotrux. The creators worked hard in compiling a team, or herd, that could work together, share, and get along in fun and interesting ways. The first episode concentrates mostly on the fact that Reptools and Dinotrux never talk. In fact, it amazes a few dinosaurs when they see Ty and Revvit together because it is common knowledge, “different species don’t work together.” However, Ty changes the view and becomes friends with Ton-Ton, Skya, Revvit, Dozer, Garby and more. Learn more about Ty Rux and his friends by clicking the images below and reading about them on dreamworkstv.com/shows/dinotrux. You will also be able to find a few details about D-Structs, the bully of the valley.

Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films Review

WaltDisneyStudiosAnimationShortFilmsCollection

Arriving to Digital HD/Disney Movies Anywhere August 11 and Blu-ray August 18th is Disney’s Short Films Collection featuring Frozen Fever, Feast, Paperman, Tangled Ever After, The Ballad of Nessie, Tick Tock Tale, Prep & Landing: Operation: Secret Santa, How to Hook up Your Home Theater, The Little Matchgirl, Lorenzo, John Henry, Get a Horse and introductions and interviews with the acclaimed filmmakers themselves. Before you start watching this collection of some of the most beloved shorts let me give you a small piece of advice, be prepared for tears, a little confusion and a lot of cuteness.

Little-MatchgirlJohn-Henry_new

When I first watched this collection I will be honest, I had only seen six of the 12 featured: Paperman, Get a Horse, Frozen Fever, Prep & Landing: Operation: Secret Santa, Tangled Ever After, and How to Hook up Your Home Theater. I was not prepared for the emotional roller-coaster that this Short Film Collection embodied…Oh, and I do mean emotional. I still have tears in my eyes while writing this review. My suggestion, as you grab the tissues, watch John Henry and The little Matchgirl first. These two sad tales are told beautifully through hard work, love and and the desire for a better life. Both end with dreams answered but in ways that cause the tear ducts to erupt into a flowing river, much like Nessie from The Ballad of Nessie. Once you get the tears of sadness out of the way, go straight to Goofy and his “How to Hook up Your Home Theater” to start the laughter flowing again. You will seriously need it.

How-To-Hook-UpLorenzo

After the Goofy laugh, watch Lorenzo and get it out of the way. It may be one of their top shorts, and many people may like it, but I think I was more confused than entertained. When a spoiled cat brags about his fluffy tail it becomes hexed and develops a mind of its own. Apparently it desires to be a dancing fool that never quits. The poor cat can’t get a moments rest. We then go into a series of attempted murders, as the cat tries to kill his own tail. Yeah strange…very, very strange. Not to mention that every attempted murder seems to result in backfire. Lorenzo the cat ends up taking the blunt of the damage for each attempt, which, I suppose, is natural considering it is his tail. From the hexed tail to the attempted murders, The short left me in dismay and confusion. Not to mention it is slightly more violent than even I like to watch. I was never more happy when “Lorenzo” was over and I could go on to a short film that would not only make me feel good but laugh as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess that is why I gravitated towards “Feast” and the wonderful story of a cute dog named Winston, dogs always make me feel better. Having three rescued puppies of my own, I was excited to watch the short film. “Feast” is told through the eyes of Winston and the meals he shares with his master that rescued him. At first everything is great, Winston can expect wonderful treats and delicious food as the two grow together as bachelors. When a woman is introduced into the mix, things go a bit wonky. The food becomes more healthy, or disgusting to Winston, and it almost seems like the poor puppy is forgotten. Believe me, I was like “Oh no, please no more heartbreak,” I don’t think I could have handled it. However, the story turns when the man and woman break up and the man goes into a state of depression. At first, Winston is simply happy having all the wonderful foods again, but he soon realizes his master is not happy. Even though his life is back to being amazing with once again delicious food, Winston performs the ultimate sacrifice and thinks of his masters happiness (the tears came rolling out again). Winston runs out the door and finds his masters lost love. While his master is once again happy, it is sad to see Winston looking depressed and lost with such a lack of luster. Once again my heart was on the verge of breaking. I was beginning to lose hope in these short films. I wasn’t sure I could handle much more, than a meatball rolls across the floor. Yeah, get ready to smile as Winston once again becomes a dog.
I am going to place my two cents here: Even if your life changes, you find a girl or boy, get married or have kids never forget about your dog. Their life is still just as important. They are your best friends through and through. Never allow them to lose their happiness. A dog is a family member as well.

Feast

The rest of the stories are pretty straight forward with recognizable characters and fantastic themes from Santa Clause to a paper airplane helping a man find love. Not to mention questions you never thought you’d ask get answered. Such as, what happens when you take two rings, a spirited horse, a crazy pascal, and a wedding and throw them together? You get a Tangled Ever After with a really hilarious journey involving wine, birds, cakes, costumes and a whole lot of unfortunate events. We are also introduced to Snowman Boogies called Snowgies. Elsa catches a cold and as a result Snowgies pop out every time she sneezes, which Olaf finds absolutely amazing and names every single one of them. These short stories will definitely cause laughter and lighten up the atmosphere. No more heartbreak or sadness and no tissues needed, unless you laugh so hard you make yourself cry, which I have done.

    The Collected Works Of Hayao Miyazaki Coming Soon to Blu-ray

    Miyazaki_BoxSet2015_BeautyShot_NoTAGS_FIN.indd

    Disney presents for the first time The Collected Works Of Hayao Miyazaki, including all 11 of Miyazaki’s feature-length masterpieces in one spectacular 12-disc collection available on Blu-ray™ Exclusively via Amazon.com on November 17, 2015. Experience the majestic works of one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animated cinema. Hayao Miyazaki weaves his unique style of artistry and epic adventure into astonishing tales of triumph, bursting with imagination and wonder.

    The following films are included in this collection:

  • Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro
      1. Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro, the feature film debut of Academy Award-winning anime creator Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service), makes its gallant return to home video with more special features and a better transfer than ever before! In the twilight of his career, master thief Lupin the Third’s latest and greatest caper has hit a snag. What should’ve been bags of cash from a national casino turns out to be expert counterfeits! Together with his partner-in-crime Jigen, Lupin heads to the remote European nation of Cagliostro to exact revenge. Not everything goes as planned; the two encounter Clarisse, a royal damsel in distress being forced to marry the sinister Count Cagliostro against her will. Saving her won’t be easy, however, as Lupin and Jigen — together with Lupin’s unpredictable ex-girlfriend Fujiko and the swordsman Goemon — must fight their way through a trap-filled castle, a deadly dungeon, and an army of professional assassins! Can Lupin rescue the girl, evade the cuffs of his long-time nemesis Inspector Zenigata, and uncover the secret treasures of The Castle of Cagliostro?
  • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
      1. After a global war, the seaside kingdom known as the Valley of the Wind remains one of the last strongholds on Earth, untouched by a poisonous jungle and the powerful insects that guard it. Led by the courageous Princess Nausicaa, the people of the Valley engage in an epic struggle to restore the bond between humanity and Earth.
  • Castle in the Sky (1986)
      1. Inspired by “Gulliver’s Travels,” the fantasy-adventure Castle in the Sky (1986) was Hayao Miyazaki’s third feature, and helped to establish his reputation as a visionary in both Japan and America. The orphan Sheeta inherited a mysterious crystal that links her to the legendary sky-kingdom of Laputa. With the help of resourceful Pazu and a rollicking band of sky pirates, she makes her way to the ruins of the once-great civilization. Sheeta and Pazu must outwit the evil Muska, who plans to use Laputa’s science to make himself ruler of the world. Castle echoes elements in Myazaki’s earlier Nausicaä, and anticipates imagery in his later films, from My Neighbor Totoro to Spirited Away. Disney’s new English dub, which features Anna Paquin (Sheeta), James Van Der Beek (Pazu), and Cloris Leachman (pirate matriarch Dola), is lively and close in tone to the original Japanese, if a bit talkier. The exciting flying sequences, appealing characters, and fantastic vision of a steam-powered future Jules Verne might have imagined make Castle in the Sky a must-have for fans of Japanese and Western animation. (Unrated: suitable for ages 10 and older: violence) –Charles Solomon
