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!

On Aug 16, 2022 Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank was released early in digital form from Paramount Home Entertainment! 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

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.
