SYNOPSIS

The Wishbones are a happy family – but not all is perfect. Max and Fay are struggling with the pressures of growing up, while Mom and Dad have the demands of work and parenting; but their hum-drum life is about to change. Mila Starr, a monster hunter, has made it her mission to capture all spooky creatures including the Wishbone’s friends King Conga, The Loch Ness Monster, and The Yeti. In order to save their friends, the Wishbone’s must transform into monsters themselves. Together as a Vampire, Mummy, Werewolf, and Frankenstein, the family take off on the most monst-umental adventure of their lives.

This film is action packed and full of surprises! Drew and I shared some awesome belly laughs and heart felt moments. (love this)

The all star cast includes talent Jason Isaacs (Dracula), Rainer Fritzche (Battie), Bernhard Volger (Battie), Marious Claren (Battie), Ethan Rouse (Max Wishbone), Emily Watson (Emma Wishbone) and much more!

As a parent, I truly enjoyed this film with my kiddo. It’s full of adventure, lighthearted, and entertaining. It also has a great message for kids. My son said he can relate to the story because growing up can hard, there is no such thing as a “perfect” family and parenting is not a breeze either! I am always looking for films that will leave an impact or start much needed conversations at home, and this film does just that…

Enjoy these activity sheets with your entire familia!

Wishing you all love and light in the new year! ~ Queen Bee Latina xo

Back To The Outback: Exclusive Interview With Isla Fisher and Tim Minchin

Back To The Outback: Exclusive Interview With Isla Fisher and Tim Minchin.

This week, we screened Netflix’s new film, “Back to the Outback.” We also interviewed actors Isla Fisher and Tim Minchin. This adorable new animated film is a love letter and tribute to the wildlife of Australia. Learn more and check out our exclusive interview below!

BACK TO THE OUTBACK Debuts globally on Netflix December 10

SYNOPSIS

Tired of being locked in a reptile house where humans gawk at them like they’re monsters, a ragtag group of Australia’s deadliest creatures plot a daring escape from their zoo to the Outback, a place where they’ll fit in without being judged for their scales and fangs.

Leading the group is Maddie (Isla Fisher), a poisonous snake with a heart of gold, who bands together with a self-assured Thorny Devil lizard Zoe (Miranda Tapsell), a lovelorn hairy spider Frank (Guy Pearce), and a sensitive scorpion Nigel (Angus Imrie). But when their nemesis — Pretty Boy (Tim Minchin), a cute but obnoxious koala — unexpectedly joins their escape, Maddie and the gang have no choice but to take him with them.

So begins a hair-raising and hilarious road trip across Australia, as they are pursued by a zookeeper Chaz (Eric Bana) and his adventure-seeking mini-me (Diesel La Torraca). Directed by Clare Knight and Harry Cripps, and also featuring the voices of Rachel House, Keith Urban, Celeste Barber, Wayne Knight, Lachlan Ross Power, and Jacki Weaver, BACK TO THE OUTBACK is an animated adventure that proves just because something’s different, doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful. 

About The Soundtrack

The soundtrack features two original songs written by musician, comedian, actor, and writer Tim Minchin, who also voices the character of Pretty Boy in the film. Evie Irie lends her vocals in a duet with Minchin for “Beautiful Ugly,” while “Maddie’s Lullaby” is performed by Indigenous Australian singer-songwriter Thelma Plum.

Space Jam: A New Legacy Hits Theaters & HBO Max July 16th

Where are all my Loony Tunes fans?

As a kid growing up in the 80’s, I remember getting up early in the mornings to turn on the tube. I would sit in the kitchen with a bowl of Apple Jax, and watch my favorite cartoons. Some of favorite cartoon shorts featured characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Taz, Marvin the Martian, Beaky Buzzard and my all time favorite Speedy Gonzales!

So when Warner Bros called invited us to screen Space Jam: A New Legacy, and celebrate the film with an incredible interactive experience, we were beside ourselves! I realized that this film would bring back some of my childhood memories and give my family an opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of shooting hoops.

Disclosure: Thank you Warner Bros Pictures for inviting us to screen Space Jam: A New Legacy. All opinions are my own.

After screening this film, we hit a special pop-up Space Jam experience and explored the ServerVerse, played games, took photos, met Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny!

Synopsis:

Superstar LeBron James and his young son, Dom, get trapped in digital space by a rogue AI. To get home safely, LeBron teams up with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang for a high-stakes basketball game against the AI’s digitized champions of the court — a powered-up roster called the Goon Squad.

Watch Trailer Here…

NBA Lakers super star LeBron James takes on a role of a loving father who like many of us, wants his children to follow in his footsteps. His son Cedric (Dom James) however, wants a different path. The new film has a great message for both parents and kids!

My takeaway was, that we as parents should support our children’s dreams, and help them be the best version of themselves. I love this!

This family fun film offers entertaining moments that adults can enjoy with their children.

Disney Pixar’s #SouL Activity Sheets

This holiday season, we have streaming some new flicks and we were thrilled to hear about the debut of Disney Pixar’s SouL. This movie is truly inspirational, and includes SO many incredible life lessons. Since it aired on Disney Plus, we have seen it three times. My son Drew says it’s his new favorite film!

Support this SENSATIONAL film!

SouL is Pixars’s first film with a black character as the lead. It is super important to support films like this one so that children get exposed to a diverse universe of characters. Studies show that it’s important for kids to see characters who not only look like them and their family members, but also sound like them.
