The Prince and Me 2 (2006)

“The Prince and Me” left us at a bit of a cliffhanger, so it was nice to see that there was a sequel. However, one major difference exists between the first and the second movie – we lost Julia Stiles and gained Kam Heskin. When last we saw Paige and Eddie, he was preparing to become the king of Denmark and she was preparing for med school. As this movie opens, we see that she (Kam Heskin) is finishing med school in Denmark and simultaneously learning all the things she’ll need to know as queen. Eddie (Luke Mably) has settled … Continue reading →

The Tale of Despereaux – Kate DiCamillo

I’ve been blogging for Families.com for a year now (happy blogoversary to me!) and one of my favorite parts of the job is finding great books and then telling you all about them. “The Tale of Despereaux” is such a book. Despereaux was the smallest mouse his mother had ever seen. When he was born, his eyes were open – very uncommon for a mouse – and she was sure he wouldn’t live. He did live, however, and found himself able to do things that the other mice couldn’t. He had a wonderful appreciation for music, which smelled like honey … Continue reading →

Disney & The Fractured Fairy Tale

Posted on by

Disney’s planning to do something different this November with the release of Enchanted. They are hoping that their fractured fairytale will reinvigorate their animation departments and start a whole new franchise. In Enchanted Manhattan is the kingdom, a divorce lawyer is their prince and apparently pigeons and roaches will play the part of the forest creatures. The idea behind Enchanted is that it will poke fun at the Disney classics like Snow White and Cinderella. The film is considered a huge risk for the Disney franchise (not so much when you consider Ratatouille and Shrek), but then people view Disney … Continue reading →
