This first ever crossover in the Bubble Guppies series features Baby Shark and his Pilot Fish William, Baby Shark wants to go see his great great great (there may be another great in there somewhere) Uncle Slow Mo.

The Rugrats Season 1 Volume 1 DVD #Giveaway and Review!

On July 12, Nickelodeon release their first volume of their brand new series, Rugrats, on DVD! Fans can now bring home the all new adventures of Tommy, Chucky, Phil, Lil, and their friends With several original voices coming to reprise their roles, such as Tommy voiced by Elizabeth Daily and Angelica voiced by Cheryl Chase, this DVD is something fans may love to bring home.

I received the chance to review this blast from the past and here is what I thought.

When the new Rugrats series started streaming on  Paramount+, I wrote a review about the series. I was disturbed about what they did to Grandpa Lou and how the writers did a complete 180 on his character. It was heartbreaking to see one of my favorite characters change so much. The veteran that took no lip changed to a peace loving hippie. While that isn’t a bad thing, it just wasn’t Grandpa Lou. Sadly, this change is still a reason that I can’t fully get into the show. The past and the original Rugrats resonate louder than this remake.

However, remove the influence from the past and I am sure this series is a fun one for kids and adults alike, I will change my previous review about how boring the episodes tend to be because the series gets better with time. We get a lot of fun adventures, tasks, and weird scenarios that make the Rugrats fascinating, producing a huge fandom. For example, in The Perfect Myth, we enter the world of Greece as seen through the eyes of the Rugrats. We get the god of building stuff, the god of juice and even a god of tricks. Somehow, their weird imagination leads to being exiled to the None-der World and a struggle for perfection. In the end, we learn that striving to be perfect all the time is impossible and that less than perfect is ok.

Each episode from the Rugrats remake follow Nickelodeon’s theme of providing morals for kids to learn. Whether it is learning to share or learning to persevere when things get tough, each episode shares important life lessons.

The episodes found in this first volume release of The Rugrats are:

  • Second Time Around
  • Lady De-Clutter/New Puppy
  • Tail of the Dogbot/Jonathan for a Day
  • One Big Happy Family/The Last Balloon
  • March for Peas/The Two Angelicas
  • No License to Drive/I Dream of Duffy
  • The Fish Stick/The Pickle Barrel
  • The Future Maker/Goodbye Reptar
  • The Bubbe and Zayde Show/The Perfect Myth
  • The Big Diff/Final Eclipse
  • Great Minds Think Alike/Betty and the Beast
  • Escape from Preschool/Mr. Chuckie

The J Team Review and a DIY Sparkle Bow Craft!

The J Team is on DVD for the srp of $15.99! We can now join JoJo Siwa and her friends as they create their own dance team and prepare to take on the dance world. There will be trials, test on friendship, and of course the n- quit attitude as JoJo preservers.

Thanks to Nickelodeon, I received the chance to review the movie and here is what I thought.

In a time of bad vibes and conformity, JoJo struggles to fit in. After her wonderful dance teacher retires, a new one is hired with far less zeal. In fact, JoJo is forced to hide a lot about herself as she attempts to stay in line with requirements issued by the new teacher. But when she fails to hide her sparkle and bow, she is kicked out of the dance team.

This forced eviction of her beloved team leads JoJo to look into herself and rediscover who she is and what dance means to her. With the help of friends and family she begins a journey of discovery which eventually leads her to creating her own team, The J Team.

The J Team movie is full of inspirational moments and positive messages which enforce the idea that people should believe in themselves and their sparkles The inspirational theme goes throughout the musical as JoJo and her friends complete choreographed numbers about remaining true to themselves, never give up, and more.

I love the positive feel good messages and vibes this movie gives out. It is uplifting and encouraging to watch JoJo strive for excellence and never lose her sparkle. The movie relays the message of perseverance and finding something better to celebrate. I give The J Team! five stars!

In celebration of The J Team coming to DVD we have a very special craft to help all the JoJo Siwa fans make their very own sparkle bow. Simply gather the materials and follow the instruction to add some sparkle to your life. Click the image below to get the instructions and share a little positivity to the world.

Materials needed:

  • 2.25 inch wide ribbon
  • Thin ribbon
  • Thin wire or string
  • Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
  • Alligator hair clip
  • scissors
  • Variety of craft jewels

Shark Week 2022 Printable Cubeecraft Paper Craft

One of my favorite events of the year is Shark Week. I find many of the shows fascinating, funny, and sometimes weird. Honestly, every year it does get a bit weirder as they bring in different comedians, actors, or other famous people to go swimming with sharks. or teach people not to swim with sharks. I am excited for this year because they have announced that the Impractical Jokers will be taking over Discovery Channel for 2022 Shark Week. Yup! Brian Quinn, James Murray, and Sal Vulcano will be having a fin-tastic time with a slightly educational special!

Shark week will start July 24 and go through July 31 and feature several new episodes, equipment and new science to learn the ways of the shark. If we use last year as an indication of what will be, we can expect over 30 new episodes filled with wonderful sharks.

To celebrate Shark Week, I usually make some printables or crafts featuring sharks. I have created printable cupcake wrappers and toppers, a printable Shark Week Coloring Page, a Jaw-some cupcake recipe, Sharknado printables, and more. This year I am bring out an adorable Cubeecraft paper craft of my favorite type of shark, the Great White.

Like all pf the cubeecrafts that I have created, the shark cubeecraft requires no glue or tape. Simply slice the little lines in each tab and slide the locking tab inside. The fins, tail, and dorsal fin, all have interlocking tabs to keep them in place to make the shark look like he is on the hunt for something yummy. What’s great about these, is they work well as little treat boxes because they are hollow! these look great on a table and can be filled with treats for the kids to take home and enjoy. Of course, the kids may want to create their own cubee shark. Follow the instructions below to make your very own cubeecraft shark.

NOTE All cutting should be done by an adult.

Materials needed:
Printer
Card stock
scissors
x-acto knife

To make:

  1. Cut out each item along the outer black lines.
  2. Cut along the white on each tab using the x-acto knife
  3. Cut along each red line using the x-acto knife
  4. Fold along each inner solid black line and slide each tab into the slots created with an x-acto knife to form a cube of the body
  5. Fold the fins in half so that color sides are facing out. Place each one through the red lines on either side of the shark.
  6. Fold the Tail in half so that color sides are facing out. Slid it into the red line in the back.
  7. Fold the dorsal fin in half so that color sides are facing out and slide through the red line at the top.
  8. Your shark is now done

To get the printable click the image below and save the image to your computer. Then print and create to make your own Cubeecraft Shark.

The Bad Guys is Ocean Eleven But for Kids and I Love It

On June 21, 2022 The Bad Guys was released on Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment! THE BAD GUYS Collector’s Edition showcases an all-new original short and comes filled with never-before-seen bonus features including deleted scenes, exclusive interviews with cast and crew, Mr. Snake’s frozen pops recipes, character drawing tutorials and more, offering endless fun and sure to get the entire family into ‘summer’ mode. You can grab a copy of the movie from amazon.com (affiliate link)

I received the opportunity to review this movie (Thanks Universal and Dreamworks) and here is what I thought.

Out with the truth, I have never read the books, so when I started watching The Bad Guys, I had no idea what to expect. From the cover, it looked like a group of animal bad guys going to do bad things. Since it was a comedy I expected hilarious antics as they tried to pull off their heists. I had no idea there was so much more to the film!

Spoilers Below!

The Bad Guys is Oceans Eleven but for kids. After robbing a bank and going on the most epic car chase that can only be rivaled by the Fast and Furious series, Wolf and his friends get home to relax among their stolen loot. But when the mayor calls them out as ‘has beens’, Wolf talks his friends into the ultimate heist, stealing the unstealable Golden Dolphin trophy. The amazing theft would put them back on top as the worlds most notorious criminals. Thus the Oceans Eleven planning and heist begins.

First the planning, where each member of the team has a task that must be completed in order for the heist to succeed. Mr. Wolf sweet talks the mayor, Mr. Shark is the distraction, Mr. Snake is the rope, Tarantula hacks the security, and Piranha is the strength. Even though Mr. Wolf is like George Clooney and plays the brains of the operation the team would fail without every member present and doing their assigned task.

However, these notorious criminals quickly find out that the heist may not be as easy as expected when equipment malfunctions start wrecking havoc on their heist. From unhackable computers to wardrobe malfunctions, everything quickly leads to possible incarceration. It takes a sly Mr. Wolf and his George Clooney like intellect to get the mayor to give them a chance at redemption, at being good.

The redemption arc takes the viewers on a fun side quest as we watch The Bad Guys attempt to be good and make the choice of kindness. The Con-cation (con vacation) quickly turns into more work than planned when sharing turns almost deadly, saving cats turns excruciating, costumes turn demeaning, and a muddle of guinea pigs lead to bad publicity. Of course, as a viewer, these selected scenarios are hilarious and I found myself laughing at each scene. I have to say, the guinea pig heist had me in stitches! We all knew Mr. Snake had hunger motives. I think what made it even more hilarious was his dragon onsie. OMG just look at their costumes in the picture below. I am still laughing.

While this movie is hilarious in many parts, it also contains a ton of awwww moments. When Mr. Snake finally shares his push pop with Mr. Shark, you can’t help but go awww. When the friends show just how close they are, more aww moments. When they learn what the tail wag means, double awwws. The aww moments all lead up to the motto, friends are forever, no matter what happens. The growth of emotions as the Bad Guys learn about their feelings is complicated but adorable and wonderfully told.

I love this movie. Simply put the characters, the art, the voice overs, and the story all lead to a climatic and hilarious end that made me laugh, go awww, sit in shock, and so much more. The most hilarious quote goes to Shark and his, “Oh I forgot, I’m not pregnant.” One of the most shocking moments is when Mr. Shark eats Mr. Snake, I sat there dumbfounded wondering if that really did just happen. And of course, Mr. Wolf saving that adorable kitten is a great awww moment. I give this movie 5 stars! It is fun for the whole family!

I didn’t talk about a few characters to keep a few surprises in the film. You will either see the switch coming or it will come as a great surprise. I encourage everyone to watch The Bad Guys.
