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.

Doc McStuffins: Friendship is the Best Medicine

Disney Junior’s Doc McStuffins

From the very first time that we took Bubbles to see her pediatrician (at age 1 week), she cried. She cried when the nurse came in to get her measurements, she cried when the doctor came in to see her, cried while waiting for shots, and cried during the shots. Crying didn’t really let up much until we were in the car and she realized that we weren’t going back in.

I thought it would end by her 1 year checkup, but it didn’t. Nor did it end at 15 months, 18 months, or 21 months. Yep. Lots of tears, every time. Each time the flow would grow shorter, but they were always there.

It was around her 21 month appointment that we discovered Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior. I don’t remember exactly how we found it; we may have just been a little slow to change the channel after one of her other shows. But from the start she showed a lot of interest. If you’re not familiar with the show it centers around “Doc” McStuffins, a 6-year-old that is able to speak with toys and stuffed animals. Her mom is a doctor of people and Doc has become a doctor of toys. Along with Hallie the hippo, Stuffy the dragon, Lambie the (you guessed it) lamb and Chilly the snowman, she runs a clinic to fix any toy boo-boos that may arise. Continue reading »

Disney's Movie "Planes

Disney’s Planes Sure to Be a Family Favorite

As you know we’re a very Disney family. So every time there is an announcement for a new Disney movie we get a bit excited. Finding out that Disney was making Planes was more than just a bit exciting. We knew that if Cars and Cars 2 were any indicator, that Planes would knock our socks off.

This one is especially exciting for the whole family, as Austin (A2) really wants to train to be a pilot after graduation. Planes will be right up his alley! And hubby suggested that this could be a great first theater movie for Bubbles. She adores Mater and Lightning McQueen and we think she’ll love these characters, too.
