Hurray For Huckle DVD Review
February 28, 2010
There are plenty of mysteries to keep the Busytown friends very busy! Missing playground items, a mysterious note at the Busytown Bank, an empty swimming hole and a flying saucer are only the beginning of the mysteries Huckle and the Busytown friends try to solve with some outdoor fun!
****Growing up I loved to read Richard Scarry books. My favorite characters were Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat, now I can share it with my kids on DVD. They thought the mysteries were so much fun and even pretended on their own. This dvd features 6 mysteries for you and your child to enjoy. It was nice to be able to Busytown, something I grew up with with my children.
Release date:2/9/2010
Retail:$9.99
Running time:66 minutes
My rating:
Disclosure; I received a review copy through my patnership with N Circle Entertainment.

Hannah Montana: Miley says goodbye dvd review & giveaway3/14CLOSED
February 25, 2010Synopsis:Be the first to see the entire groundbreaking premiere of the pivotal Hanna Montana Season Three Finale! In Miley Says Goodbye? watch as Miley struggles with her biggest decision yet! Will she leave her rock-star life in Malibu to return home to her Tennessee roots to be with her favorite horse, Blue Jeans? The finale Miley decides she needs to start controlling her own life.
This dvd includes 6 episodes, 5 which have already aired on the Disney Channel.
Bonus Material:
- He could be the one alternate ending
- Hannah’s Highlights: You never give me my money
- Sister secrets-Miley’s real-life sister reveals another side of Miley
****This is not the end of Hannah Montana, there is still one season left. So of course from that you can figure she doesn’t go to Tennessee. The episode was kind of a disappointment to me. There was no mention of Hannah Montana that I can recall, and the whole episode was just sappy, no funny parts. Well except for Jackson who decides to move out on his own, and moves into an apartment that keeps falling apart. Miley brings her horse to California thinking that would make her feel better, which it doesn’t. Then she decides she wants to move back to Tennessee, which makes all her friends sad. Since Lilly just moved in with her she is glad she still has Oliver, but he is going on tour with a band for 6 months. In the end, her dad buys a ranch in Ca., so they can stay.
Retail:$19.99
Release date: March 9, 2009

****I just received this movie and I’ve watched it 3 times already. This is a really good movie, and my kids loved it. It’s kind of like the thirteenth year. Barbie is half human and half mermaid. Her Mother gives her to her grandfather when she is a baby. When she turns 16 she starts going through changes and realizes she is a mermaid. I love that it teaches kids not to be ashamed of who they are, it’s okay to be different.
