Cubeecraft Papercraft of Luisa from Disney’s Encanto

One of the most popular characters from Disney’s movie, Encanto (affiliate link), is Mirabel’s older sister, Luisa. Blessed with the gift of strength, she’s the strong one, she’s not nervous, she’s as strong as the Earth is. Luisa does everything she can to matter and make her family proud. She never questions anything and always does what she is asked to do. However, from her song, Surface Pressure, we know that Luisa dreams of a vacation where she can just chill and maybe ride a donkey unicorn

Personally, I like the idea of flying on a DonkeyCorn not worried about life’s pressures. She looks so happy with the confetti and pink clouds. We all need those moments

Since Luisa is such a popular character, my email has exploded with requests to make her a cubeecraft. I started with Mirabel thinking she would be the go to character,…I was so wrong. So for all you Luisa fans that have emailed me with the dire need for one epic character to be made, I have created a printable cubeecraft papercraft of Luisa. This cubeecraft features Luisa in her purple/blue dress, white blouse and hair bun.

Like always, this cubeecraft requires no glue, It has interlocking tabs that slide into slots to form each pieces This Cubeecraft has two parts, and you will need both to complete it.

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 lide each tab into the slots created with an x-acto knife to form a cube of the head, arms, and feet
  5. Fold along the base lines of the dress. Slide each tab into the slots created with an x-acto knife.
  6. Slide the arms through the red slots on either side of the dress.
  7. Slide the feet through the red slots at the base of the dress.

The King’s Man Movie Review and Digital Code #Giveaway

Get ready to see the start of the Kingsman franchise in The King’s Man. Set during WWI, The King’s Man tells the exhilarating origin story of the Kingsman, the world’s very first independent intelligence agency. As a collection of history’s worst tyrants and criminal masterminds gather to plot a war to wipe out millions across the globe, one man must race against time to stop them. Add the film to your Kingsman collection on Digital February 18 and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD February 22. A copy can be purchased from Amazon.com (affiliate link)

Based on the comic book, “The Secret Service” by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, comes the the story about classy old-school spies and their ability to save the world. I received the chance to watch The King’s Man, and here is what I thought.

SPOILERS BELOW

Unlike the first two Kingsman movies, The King’s Man goes a little darker and focuses more on history and story than on action. Some of these scenes can be a bit dull, but for the most part, the entire movie is highly entertaining. We have several amazing fight scenes with swords, fun characters, and great dialog. The choreography of the fight scenes is equal to , if not better than, the previous movies and they certainly keep my attention.

The movie starts in dark times when Orlando, Duke of Oxford, loses his wife, Emily, in a sniper attack. It’s a heartbreaking scene as Emily makes him promise that their son will never see the war again. Fast-forward 12 years and we find that Orlando is creating a spy network, which is dedicated to protecting the United Kingdom, and Shola and Polly are among the recruited.

From Left to right: Shola, Orlando, Polly

The King’s Man is rated R for a reason, there are a lot of violent moments, that are not suitable for even some adults. After all this is a story of a spy network looking to prevent a war that would cause the death of millions. We often see Shola fighting off some rather crazy individuals.

From violent to crazy, the characters in The King’s Man are all very well done, but I have to admit, Rasputin is the craziest of them all. As bad guys go, he is my favorite bad guy in The King’s Man.. His fight scenes are way over the top and they are simply fun to watch. When Rasputin says, “Time to dance…on your graves,” this is not a suggestion, he begins the must epic dance fight I have seen since Jumanji 2. With swords and amazing dance moves, Rasputin turns himself into a crazy and immediate threat. He is also quite graceful, just look at his beautiful jump.

From start to finish, The King’s Man kept my attention and provided some amazing never-before-seen fight scenes. I really enjoyed the story, the character development, and the over-the-top bad guys, i.e. Rasputin. The King’s Man, by choreography alone, has earned five starts in my book and a must see for Kingsman fans.

Check out the trailer below for a quick look at the movie.

Cubeecraft of Mirabel from Disney’s Encanto

Disney has released a highly popular film featuring a very special family with a very special house in a very special location. Let’s just say everything in Encanto is special. After losing her husband, Abuela received a miracle. This miracle gave her a home with a personality, safety from invaders, and a great place to raise her three kids, Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno. Once her children reached a certain age, they were given a power and a huge magical bedroom. Once they grew up and had kids of their own, their children also received special powers and a large bedroom, that is, all except Mirabel.

Here is a beak down of their family and their powers.

  • Julieta is able to heal others with a meal.
    • Julieta married Agustín and gave birth to three children, Isabela, Luisa and Mirabel.
      • Isabela can control plants.
      • Luisa is very strong.
      • Mirabel never received a gift.
  • Pepa can control the weather with her feelings.
    • Pepa married Félix and gave birth to three children, Dolores, Camilo and Antonio.
      • Dolores has incredible hearing.
      • Camilo can shape shift.
      • Antonio can talk to animals.
  • Bruno can see the future.

This complicated family is best described in Mirabel’s song, The Family Madrigal. She sings about every one and their powers. Check it out below and get to know the family Madrigal.

Be sure to grab the movie from Amazon.com (affiliate link) and watch the magical story unfold. It is truely a wonderful movie with wonderful characters and music.

With so many characters and so many colors, I thought it would be fun creating some adorable Cubeecrafts featuring the Family Madrigal. My Cubeecraft adventure starts with Mirabel. She is the main character of the film and has one of the most intricate costumes ever. Let me just say…liberties were taken. I did my best to keep to the film and her amazing colorful dress, but there is a lot of designs. I made sure to get the rainbow, the butterfly, and of course the tassels. The rest of the designs are inspired by her dress to the best of my ability. Hopefully everyone loves it.

Like always, this cubeecraft requires no glue, It has interlocking tabs that slide into slots to form each pieces This Cubeecraft has two parts, and you will need both to complete it.

Materials needed:
Printer
Card stock
scissors
x-acto knife

Blaze and the Monster Machines: Dino Derby Review

Get ready for some fast driving Dino excitement in the all new DVD release Blaze and the Monster Machines Dino Derby! Thanks to Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment, Blaze and the Monster Machines Dino Derby arrived on DVD February 1, 2022, for the suggested retail price of $10.99. This episode collection features Blaze and Zeg busting through obstacles to ride the amazing Dino Coaster, Blaze and AJ saving Zeg, Blaze and Zeg team up to compete in the Dino Derby, and more! Grab this DVD from Amazon.com (affiliate link).

The four episodes included in the DVD are:

  • Dino Derby
  • Dinosaur Parade
  • Dino Coaster
  • Dino Dash

Dino Derby

Dino Derby is about Blaze joining Zeg in the most epic Dino race. After tricking out his vehicle to look like a dinosaur, Blaze joins the Dino Derby. This episode takes two things a young audience loves, dinosaurs and trucks, and blends them together to make a fantastic interactive race.

Dinosaur Parade

Dinosaur Parade features a marvelous parade that may be facing ruin if Blaze can’t help save the day when seven dinosaurs find themselves in high-flying fun. After a freak accident with an oil slick, several dinosaurs crash into balloons and end up floating away from the parade. It is up to Blaze and his friends to find them and bring them back safe.

Dino Coaster

After the all important ticket that would let Blaze and his friends ride the Dino Coaster gets lost, Blaze, AJ, and Zeg embark on a mission to track it down. The adventure takes Blaze and his friends through construction sites, through pinatas, and even a pie factory. It will take everyone to get that ticket and repair the chaos it creates.

Dino Dash

When a baby ankylosaurus accidently gets Zeg stuck in a mud pit, it is up to Blaze and AJ to help him get out. Blaze must avoid hot lava, dosge rocks, and so much more to help his friend.

These episodes embody everything Blaze and the Monster Machines is about. With audience interaction, fun teamwork, and amazing development of problem solving skills, I think Blaze and the Monster Machines: Dino Derby DVD is a great collection that any fan would love to have. It gets fives stars.
