“Prima Princessa Presents The Nutcracker” – Children’s Holiday DVD
The Prima Princessa series is a DVD collection of ballet stories just for kids. The series was inspired by 2 blogging mom-entrepreneurs from NJ, that have daughter who love dance.
As a lot of parents know taking young children to a full ballet show can be a rough experience. They just do not usually have the attention span to sit there through the entire show. And for how expensive some shows can be, as a parent, you don’t want to throw your money away by leaving early.
So the Prima Princessa series is a way kids ages 3-6 can be exposed to dance and classical music at home through interactive fun!
So far there are 3 shows in this series, which are, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker (being released 9/7/2010) , and coming in January 2011 will be Sleeping beauty.
The DVD of the Nutcracker is a 60 minute Christmas show which features England’s World famous Birmingham Royal Ballet.
When I brought this DVD home from Blogher they couldn’t wait to watch it. They loved it so much, they dressed up in their fairy costumes and danced along with the DVD.

Avatar; The Movie On DVD & A Themed Birthday Party!
AVATAR
Since its global theatrical release last December, AVATAR has continued to make motion picture history. Written by James Cameron and produced with his long-time collaborator Jon Landau, AVATAR stars Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Wes Studi and Laz Alonso. The Oscar and Golden Globe winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.6 billion in worldwide box office. Director James Cameron takes audiences to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the epic nature of the story.
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment released the film AVATAR on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on Earth Day. AVATAR grossed over $2.6 billion dollars theatrically worldwide, making it the biggest film of all time. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has teamed up with the Earth Day Network to plant 1,000,000 trees worldwide in celebration of the BD and DVD release of the film. People who purchase the film will be given a unique access code that allows them to go online and actually adopt one of the million trees being planted, charting its location and progress.
Party Like the Na’vi
Who doesn’t want to party on Pandora? This year, it might be fun to throw an eco-friendly bash for your favorite little Na’vi. Do you have tips on an environmentally friendly party for kids? Maybe an AVATAR-themed bash complete with Na’vi decorations and snacks?
FROM ME :
We decided to do an Avatar Birthday Theme birthday for my son’s 11th birthday. The following is a Whrrl of the party we had back in April. It was a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed it.
If you have an Avatar fan in your home, this is a great birthday party to have.

The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris & WIN*
C’est Fantastique!
The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris came out to DVD on April 13th. I was selected as one of the lucky mommy blogger reviewers to get a copy of this DVD to watch with my little girls.
I can remember reading Madeline books when I was a little girl. Watching the little girls get in 2 lines as they traveled around Paris.
In the movie “Lost In Paris” you will meet Uncle Horst and see her new adventure. My daughters were delighted to watch this captivating new movie about the little girl that everyone loves from Paris, Madeline.

FROM SHOUT FACTORY : 
Inspired by the beloved classic books that introduced us to a dozen delightful girls who live in an old house in Paris covered with vines, The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris is full of spirited fun and five “fantastique” new songs. Screen legends Christopher Plummer (The Sound Of Music) and Lauren Bacall (The Big Sleep) co-star in the animated feature.
Both Plummer and Bacall had a big presence at this year’s Academy Awards® – Bacall was given an honorary Oscar for her work and Plummer was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station.
When a long-lost uncle from Vienna pays a surprise visit, Madeline’s dreams of family life seem wonderfully fulfilled — until she finds herself in the middle of an unfortunate scheme. Madeline then must call upon all of her courage and cleverness to foil an evil plot to take her from the only family she’s ever known. Join Madeline, Miss Clavel, Pepito, 11 school friends, and her ever-so-smart dog, Genevieve, in a thrilling Paris adventure you won’t want to miss, where everyone learns the true meaning of family!
