The “Adventures in Babysitting” premiere telecast is sponsored by Post Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. It will be followed by the premiere of Disney Channel’s new comedy series “Bizaardvark.” In a heartfelt story that celebrates individuality, friendship and self-empowerment, the live-action adventure comedy made for kids, tweens and families, pays homage to the 1980s classic with familiar references and iconic scenes.

Hollywood Records recording artists Carpenter and Carson perform the movie’s end credit song “Wild Side” produced by Jens Koerkemeier, Emanuel Kiriakou and Andrew Goldstein.

“Adventures in Babysitting,” unfolds when Jenny Parker (Sabrina Carpenter) and Lola Perez (Sofia Carson), two teen girls with distinctly different personalities, each interview for a coveted photography internship and accidentally swap phones. When the Anderson family calls Jenny’s phone looking for a last-minute babysitter, audacious Lola, in need of some extra cash, picks up and nominates herself. Meanwhile, dependable Jenny is already set to babysit the Cooper family for the evening. Unfortunately, Lola’s first attempt at babysitting takes an unforeseen turn when one of the Anderson kids sneaks out to go to a concert. Jenny, determined to protect her reputation, and Lola with the remaining kids in tow, head out and have the adventure of a lifetime during one magical night in the big city.

Alice in Wonderland - Alice

Alice in Wonderland – Alice LEGO Minifigure

How do you get to Wonderland? Just ask Alice. This blonde little girl gets herself into all kinds of trouble because she is so curious. When she sees a white rabbit with a watch, she immediately follows the little guy into a rabbit hole and falls to Wonderland. Her adventure is full of all kinds of nonsense, including talking animals, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, a Mad Hatter Tea Party, and let’s not forget the Queen of Hearts. Hold onto your heads!

Perhaps, I will stay in the real world and not figure out how to get to wonderland. Honestly, I would like to keep my sanity and my head. When the most sense comes from a Cheshire Cat that can disappear when it wants, I’d say reality is my best friend.

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




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

To commemorate Alice from Alice in Wonderland, LEGO has created an awesome minifigure depicting Alice in her blue dress holding a bottle that says Drink Me and a small morsel of food. Do you remember which one makes her bigger and which one makes her smaller?

In honor of Alice becoming a LEGO Minifigure, I have created a Lego Minifigure Alice coloring page! Simply download, print, and color for Lots of Lego Fun!

New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Bonus on iTunes!

‘Dressing the Galaxy’ — an all-new bonus feature — is available as an iTunes Extras Exclusive for fans who buy or own Star Wars: The Force Awakens on iTunes! Fans will get the whole story of how Rey got her look and learn more about their favorite character’s costumes.

Check out a clip from the bonus feature about Rey’s look below!

iTunes Extras is the ultimate way for fans to get instant access to a film’s bonus content — along with any additional Extras content, like ‘Dressing the Galaxy,’ that becomes available even after the film’s initial digital release.

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




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

For Costume Designer Michael Kaplan and his team there were many elements to be considered with designing the look for Daisy Ridley as Rey. “We knew she was going to be in a world of men doing things like climbing and dealing with rocket parts and living this Spartan life, so we had to make her practical, but we also wanted a glimmer of femininity about her,” says Kaplan. “I also knew there were going to be sandstorms and dust, so I wanted the character to be in light colors. It also felt right for her emotionally and for the desert. It also felt very Star Wars especially when you look back at Luke and Leia.”

Continuing, he says, “We eventually gave her a wrap, which could protect her face against dust storms. Everything is there for a reason, but it gives her a very beautiful image when all the pieces are put together. Rey wears the costume throughout the film, although we had 25 copies made and about 12 pairs of boots.”

Rey

We first encounter Rey as she rides across the desert on this large, almost tractor-like speeder, her face covered with her wrap and goggles. It is intentional that audiences won’t know whether she’s a man, woman or even an alien. “J.J. [Abrams] wanted her to be mysterious,” continues Kaplan “So she has this frog mouth and strange goggles. You really don’t know what you’re looking at, and then as she unwraps her face you see that it’s this young girl. Fans can learn more about the origins of Rey’s goggles when they check out “Dressing the Galaxy.”

Disney Junior Printable Paper Airplane Templates

Disney Junior Paper Airplanes

If the weather has not told you already, spring is here! It is time for playing outdoors in the warmth of the sun. It is also perfect weather to fly paper airplanes! I find it to be a great activity for the family to enjoy together and it only requires a few sheets of paper. On top of enjoying the outdoors and having fun together as a family, the crafting of paper airplanes is a great way to get the brains working as everyone tries to figure out how best to build and create their plane.

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




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

Once all airplane are completed, have each kid write their name on their plane. Then have the kids stand at one end of the yard and toss the plane. The person with the plane that flies the farthest wins. Of course you can add other ways to win, such as: who can get theirs to return to them, who can get theirs to loop-d-loop, and so-on.

To help the little kids in the group that may struggle a bit with the paper plane creation Disney Junior has put together a few Paper Airplane templates featuring some of their favorite characters. Rocket through space with Miles From Tomorrowland, soar through the Sky with Sofia the First, and Pirate the skies with Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Each paper airplane template comes with easy instructions and marks so you know where to fold.

To grab these free templates click the images below and save the PDF to your computer. They are free to download, so you might as well grab them all.

The Junior Ranger event was attended by 130 students from the Downey School District who have implemented Project Lead the Way (Project Lead the Way is a United States 501 non-profit organization that develops STEM curricula for use by elementary, middle, and high schools) and have also started a “Femineers” program to encourage girls to learn and interact more with engineering and science. An additional 15-20 kids came from LA Makerspace program, which, like Project Lead the Way, is a non-profit organization focused on increased access to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) for low-income children, youth, and families.

Toy Story - Alien

Toy Story – Alien

From Toy Story and a restaurant known as Pizza Planet comes a cute little Alien that believes The Claw is it’s master. These little green Aliens often speak in unison with almost barbaric ideals. Of course if you lived in a machine with a claw and knew nothing else of the real world, you might be a little barbaric as well.

On a side note, if you rescue one of these guys it turns out they are with you for life, stating their little catch phrase, “You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful.” Poor Mr. Potato Head is stuck with them forever.

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

To commemorate Toy Story’s Alien, LEGO has created an awesome minifigure of these little 3-eyed green aliens, complete with antennae and pizza planet logo.

Goldie and Bear is a Disney Junior TV series featuring Goldilocks and Baby Bear. The question of, “what happened after Goldie found everything just right?” is now answered.

We also get the cute moral and life lessons embedded in each story, which parents have come to expect and love from the various Disney Junior TV series.

It is an inspiring show of happily ever afters with a touch of magic.

Each episode also twists the nursery rhymes and fairy tale stories making them new and entertaining. For example, How did the old woman and her kids find such a large shoe to live in? In “Fee Fi Fo Shoe” we learn that Jack’s Giant actually dropped it from the sky because it was too large for his foot. Or how about Little Red Ridinghood. Why is it that she never removes her cape?
