The Minions get a Mini Master in Minions: The Rise of Gru – Review and Printables

Before Gru joins the AVL, before he saves the minions from becoming purple monsters, before he adopts Margo, Edith, and Agnes, and even before he steals the moon, Gru at a very young age, had aspirations of becoming the worlds greatest villain. Thanks to the release of Minions: The Rise of Gru, fans of all ages finally get to see the young budding villain discover his evil background. Now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital, Minions: The Rise of Gru is a must see for any Minion fan. Grab a copy of Minions the Rise of Gru from Amazon.com (affiliate link).

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

SPOILERS BELOW

As a minion fan, once the movie arrived at my door, I tore into the case and quickly put in the blu-ray to start the epic adventure. My family, of course, was not far behind me as popcorn sprayed from the kitchen, blankets fluttered to the floor, and stuffed Minion toys came out to enjoy the party. We all nearly held our breath as Illumination sprang across the screen. I knew we were all thinking, finally, another Minion movie.

Fans know the story of how Gru started as a villain in Despicable me, with the conquest of stealing the moon in order to become the ultimate bad guy. In the process Gru adopts 3 girls and his heart changes from evil to “mostly” good. However, before all that he was a kid in the 70s, looking to be the ultimate bad guy by joining the Vicious 6, When the Vicious 6, kick out Wild Knuckles, they are short a member and hold interviews for those looking to join their ranks. Gru takes a step onto his evil path and attempts to pass the interview process.

Things go from villainous to Minion-ous as a string of events unfold taking Gru and his banana loving Minions on an adventure so absurd that it can only be a Minions movie. After the failure of becoming a member of the Vicious 6, the minions lose a special stone making Gru the enemy of the Vicious 6. In order to help Gru, the Minions .

Many times through the movie popcorn was flying as laughter spewed from our lips. Minions The Rise of Gru did not disappoint when it came to hilarious antics by the Minions. When they learn of their super power with the Puppy Dog eyes, I almost fell out of my chair with laughter. Anyone who has or watches kids know, those puppy dog eyes are a deadly power when caught off guard.

Just look at those faces!

The Minions have way more than puppy dog eyes and a karate scene. Like other Minion movies in the past, the Minions will dawn funny costumes to try to blend into certain areas, that means, 70s attire. And somehow…they succeed. They will also have their bottom jokes and speak the worlds favorite language, Minionese. This combination leads to a wonderful movie with great characters and adorable Minions.

A word of warning for the younger audience. Minions: The Rise of Gru is rated PG due to violence, but what can be done? To be a villain often involves violence. Just know that going in.

Personally, I find this to be a brilliant Minions movie and I truly hope they make more. I give it 5 stars!

To celebrate Minions the Rise of Gru, illumination created a fantastic Printable activity pack for fans to download, print, and create. With crafts, recipes, activities, and coloring pages. It is a pack the whole family will enjoy. The Activity pack includes:

  • Learn about your Chinese Zodiac Sign

Kittens Can Be Heroes in the All New PAW Patrol: Cat Pack Rescue – DVD Review and #Giveaway

Pups and kittens come together in Nickelodeon’s brand new DVD release PAW Patrol: Cat Pack Rescues. In this group of episodes featured on the DVD, the PAW Patrol pups team up with the Cat Pack to make amazing rescues, use new machinery and vehicles, and work together to save their town and friends. Unlike other episode collections where the pups team up with other pups or friends, this time the pups team up with the Cat Pack whose main goal is to prove that cats can be heroes too. PAW Patrol: Cat Pack Rescues will be available on DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment on September 13, 2022, for the suggested retail price of $10.99.

I received the chance to review this DVD and here is what I thought.

Like so many PAW Patrol shows, The Cat Pack Rescue episodes do not disappoint. The episodes are filled with team work, caring, problem solving, and of course our favorite pups. However, this time, kitten/cat fans will find a love for the show as a group of heroes called the Cat Pack rise to the occasion as they join forces to help rescue friends and prove that cats can be the good guys. I loved watching as the cats take center stage and work at proving that not all cats are crazy like those owned by Mayor Humdinger, the Kitten Catastrophe Crew.

The episodes included in the DVD are:

  • Pups Meet the Cat Pack
  • Rocket Rescuers
  • The Golden Lion Mask
  • The Cat That Roared
  • Saving the Safe
  • Pups Save the Kittens and the Kiddies
  • Pups Save the Portable Pet Wash

My favorite episode of those included on the DVD has to be The Cat That Roared. Instead of having all the cats and maybe one or two pups from the PAW Patrol, two kittens actually team up with two pups to help save the day. It is equal screen time for both kittens (Leo and Rory) and pups (Marshall and Tracker), which leads to an amazing monkey rescue. With the help of Trackers cables, Marshall’s medical kit, Rory’s tiger pouncing skills, and Leo’s roar, the team works together and saves the monkey. It is awesome to see two teams, so different in looks, prove that anyone, no matter what they look like, can be heroes.

PAW Patrol: Cat Pack Rescues will be available on DVD September 13 and can be purchased from Amazon.com (affiliate link).

Paws of Fury The Legend of Hank Review and #Giveaway!

The hilariously fun film is an inspiring tale of a hound who dreams of being a hero. When Hank finds himself in a town full of cats terrorized by a ruthless villain that wants to destroy their village, Hank becomes a samurai and teams up with some skilled villagers to save the day. However, there is a well known fact that leads to a bit of trouble…cats hate dogs. Can these crazy animals learn to work together to make a difference? Watch Paws Of Fury: The Legend of Hank to find out!

Paws of Fury the Legend of Hank will be released on Blu-Ray October 18, 2022 with several special features including:

  • Cool Cats and One Hot Dog— Meet Hank (Michael Cera), Jimbo (Samuel L. Jackson) and their nemesis Ika Chu (Ricky Gervais) plus more hilarious characters!

  • Giving Voice to PAWS OF FURY: The Legend of Hank – Voice cast Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, and Ricky Gervais share behind-the-scenes fun and a sneak peek at what happens during voiceover sessions.

I got the chance to review Paws of Fury The Legend of Hank and here is what I thought.
Possible spoilers below.

Get ready for the fart jokes in the new movie Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank. When it comes to funny, the writers have decided to go with the classics and bring about a litter of fart jokes including the igniting of farts and mentioning the smell of farts. For the little boys in the room, this will be funny to watch, however, the amount of fart jokes will get old with time. Some may bring a slight chuckle, but after a while, eyes will roll and the jokes just get less funny over time. But for the fart fans in the room, this will be fun to watch a couple of times.

Beyond the fart jokes, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is certainly a family friendly movie that is hilarious and fun for all. It is hard to go wrong when the writers decided to combine the interactions between two of the most popular animals on the planet, cats and dogs.

Paws of Fury follows Hank, a hound, in his journey to become a Samurai. He travels to a town full of cats that need help where he is assigned as the defender. Hank begins his training and starts working to save the villagers who dislike him because he is a dog. The saying, “Never judge a book by it’s cover” is Paws of Fury’s motto. It is certainly a moral missing in much of society today as many are judged by the way the look. This simplistic film takes popular animals and attempts to tell a story that will connect with an audience on a different level so that all the viewers can learn not to judge by race, sex, or species. It is an important moral for our time and one worth sharing.

With the fart jokes, popular animals, and an important moral comes a crazy cast that includes Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, Ricky Gervais, Mel Brooks and more! Basically we have a huge cast in a fun movie. Adults ill love to hear their beloved actors voice specific characters and the kids will simply enjoy the show.

I give Paw of Fury: The Legend of Hank 4 stars. While it has a great moral, the fart jokes get a bit old. For the audience that this film is meant for, I would say it will be fun to watch.

Paws of Fury was released on Digital Aug 16, 2022. To celebrate this release, we have the amazing opportunity to host a Digital Code Giveaway. Use the form below or comment below to get entered into the giveaway. Many will enter only one will win.

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
