Disney - 26/34 - Views From the Ville

Thank you to Disney for providing us with a great Doc McStuffins DVD.

If you have a toddler the words “time for your checkup” probably cause involuntary humming and perhaps head-bobbing. In fact, just thinking about those words right now has the Doc McStuffins theme song running through my head. Bubbles is taking a nap right now, otherwise if she heard me hum it out loud, she’d be begging to watch the new Disney Junior “Time For Your Check Up” DVD (available today!). That would be fine by me, because I have to admit to being quite the Doc fan, myself.

Disney Junior's Doc McStuffins "Time For Your Check Up" DVD

The new “Doc McStuffins: Time For Your Check Up” DVD has five episodes (though each episode is made up of two shorter episodes, so it’s really like 10) and has a run time of 120 minutes. The episodes include:

Gulpy, Gulpy Gators! / One Note Wonder
Tea Party Tantrum / Blast Off!
Arcade Escapade / Starry, Starry Night
Bronto Boo-Boos / Brontosaurus Breath
Doctoring the Doc / Hot Pursuit

The Arcade Escapade / Starry, Starry Night episode is one we’ve seen a few times on TV and it’s one of my personal favorites. In Arcade Escapade Doc visits and arcade and finds a toy giraffe named Gaby stuck in one of those “claw” machines. She never gets chosen because she has a torn leg, so Doc and her stuffed pals figure out a way to help her. It’s a great lesson on teamwork. And in Starry, Starry Night a little star-gazing planned, but no one is able to see anything through the telescope. Apparently Aurora, the telescope, is having some issues with blurry vision.

If your little aviators are anxiously awaiting the August 9th, 2013 release of Disney/Pixar’s Planes, you may be wondering how you’ll keep them occupied during the three month wait. Well, never fear! Disney has just released some awesome free activity sheets and coloring pages that you can print out for the kiddos.

Just click the images below to print and/or download the coloring pages and activity sheets. Soon you’ll have high-flying masterpieces to stick to your refrigerator! Bubbles spends at least one or two hours per day “coloring Mama pictures” so I’ve already printed out a few copies of each. I’m sure we’ll have plenty to mail to Grammie and Great-Grammie, plus to deliver to Papaw and Grammy, Sissy, and Austin. She loves to share her art!

Be sure to follow Planes on both Facebook and Twitter to stay on top of all the news this summer.

How many coloring pages do you think your kiddos will want to color?

For those that read Views From the ‘Ville regularly, you know how much I love a theme. All of the Avengers lend themselves well to a special night of fun so I thought it would be fun to share some inexpensive ideas to have an Iron Man 3 Family Fun Night. If your family isn’t already chomping at the bit to hit the theater this weekend, these should help get your family pumped up. Continue reading »

I receive a lot of entertainment news – movie releases and clips, advanced TV programming notices, music drop dates, etc. – and it’s really more than I could conceivably post about without renaming my blog “Entertainment From the ‘Ville”. As a Disney fan, I do generally try and share some of that news, and occasionally a children’s program update.

There’s a lot of it that may be of real interest to you all, though, so I’ve decided to try and write a weekly round up. Check out all the upcoming movies below.

TollyTots' Fashion Dolls From Disney's "Oz the Great and Powerful"

As a Disney-loving family we enjoy pretty much anything related to the parks or the movies. And when those items are produced by companies we truly enjoy it makes them that much more special. So we were excited to recently receive one of the new Oz the Great and Powerful fashion dolls from TollyTots.

Bubbles is a bit young for the movie but that didn’t stop her from trying to confiscate Theodora the moment that she arrived. She kept asking me to open the box but I still wasn’t sure if she would be her toy or if Theodora might look better on Mommy’s desk for a bit of a work distraction. In the end, I think I’ll be picking up a China Doll for Bubbles and Theodora will, in fact, hang out in my office.
