Did I get your attention?  I know we just posted about the amazing new exclusive look at Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales  movie, but this JUST hit my inbox and I really can’t wait to share it with you.

Apparently it’s a Disney day!  Yay!

Y’all.  I swear.  100%.   I saw this and I about hyperventilated.  Mary Poppins is BACK!  (Uh, and that bag.  Where can I get it?)

And the cast is AMAZING!!!!!

I am beyond excited to share with you the first glimpse of Golden Globe® winner Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins in MARY POPPINS RETURNS, the all new sequel to Disney’s 1964 film MARY POPPINS.  

Directed and produced by Rob Marshall, MARY POPPINS RETURNS also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer and Julie Walters with Colin Firth and Meryl Streep.

The film, which introduces three new Banks children, played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson, also features Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. The film is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep). The film is produced by Marshall, John DeLuca and Marc Platt. The screenplay is by David Magee based on The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers with Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman writing all new songs and Shaiman composing an original score.

MARY POPPINS RETURNS will be released in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2018!  As soon as I get more information I will send it on!  :) 

So I got a ton of people telling me how excited they were about the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales sneak peak I gave y’all a few weeks ago.  And I must say….ME TOO!!  This is one of my favorite movie series ever.  So I’m excited to bring you TWO exciting exclusives today!

First…here it is!  The official movie poster!  Doesn’t it look amazing?  Seriously, you can tell by just the poster that this movie is going to be action packed!  (And, oh Johnny….pirate or not….whew!)

And second…I have a new exclusive movie trailer to share with you!

RIGHT?!?

Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales comes out in theaters May 26!

Doesn’t it look awesome?

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES opens in theaters everywhere May 26th in 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D! ! 

Last week we were lucky enough to be invited to a screening to go see MOANA in 3D.  I was excited – I honestly love Disney!  Josh is 13 and in this stage of saying everything is for babies.  (Although he secretly still enjoys the ‘baby’ things.  Shhh.  Don’t tell anyone!) When I told him we had tickets I really wasn’t sure how he would respond.  He surprised me and said, “Ok.”  I was so excited!

Later that day while I was in the kitchen I heard something about MOANA coming from his room.  I went in and he was watching reviews and information on the movie on YouTube!  (HOW they are there I have no idea!  We were going to see the movie about a week before it was released so I didn’t know anyone else had seen it even earlier!) I asked him what they said and he said “It sounds good.”

Y’all.  Me.  WINNING!  I was so excited!

We homeschool and are pretty flexible about things.  So imagine my surprise when he said for his Curiosity Journal he was going to research about the legend of Maui.  And the next day, he wanted to find out what the first movie ever made was.  After all, we were going to the movie that night.  It was fitting.

Moana is the daughter of the Chief in her village.  She was raise (along with the village) to never leave the safety of her island.  Her Grandmother teaches the children about the legend of Maui and how it is said that one day someone will be chosen to venture out to find Maui, find his hook and fix the wrong he has committed.

Moana is chosen by the ocean and with the wisdom of her Grandmother finds out the truth about her people’s history and sets out to fulfill her destiny.

Never sailing before, she ventures out into the ocean on the trip of a lifetime.  Moana is a brave and determined girl.  She stands up for herself against Maui (proclaiming to him “I am NOT a Princess!”), faces several challenges and even as she is told that she is not special, she refuses to stop believing in herself.  I love that this movie shows girls that they can be strong and a hero.  This movie, like Frozen, isn’t about finding her Prince.  While I would say it is a girl power movie – it’s not a ‘girly’ movie that boys won’t enjoy!  After all, my 13 year old boy loved it and that REALLY is saying something!

I don’t want to give too much of the story away – but the story line is definitely very beautiful.

Check out the full movie trailer!

But you know what else in the movie was beautiful?  The movie itself!  Disney always does an amazing job capturing the colors and beauty in their movies and this one is no exception.  We saw it in 3D which was fun.  Most of the movie takes place out on the ocean so it was fun to see the waves and not to forget all of the action scenes! (There are a lot of action scenes!)

And we can’t talk about this movie without mentioning the music.  It’s so amazing!  To the point that we will definitely be ordering the soundtrack!

So if you are wondering about seeing the movie, our answer is simple: YES!  Everyone that I talked to as they left the theater said the same thing: “It’s SO good!” I can’t wait to hear what you think of the movie!

Don’t forget to pin this MOANA review!

I don’t know about you, but I have been loving the new Disney movies.  When I got the email about Pete’s Dragon I was so excited.  I know this one is going to be one that we all enjoy!  The movie will be out in 3D (it’s going to be amazing!!) on August 12!

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest.

To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley).

Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliot. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliot seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories.

With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.

So many movies, so little time!  Have you heard about this new great movie from Disney?  It’s called Zootopia and looks like it’s going to be really funny and completely adorable!

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”), opens in theaters on March 4, 2016.
