We were super excited to receive a copy of Disney's Miles from Tomorrowland: Let's Rocket for review!
The kids have loved this show, and we've watched the DVD many times, enjoying it each time.
In the words of our son, RJ, the show is about "a kid named Miles, obviously, who has a family named the Collistos. He blast boards, and plays a game like soccer. The show is about Miles and the society called TTA and how Miles' family goes on adventures and fixes stuff".
The show is easy for children to relate to, and explores subjects like disappointment and responsibility.
Miles From Tomrrowland: Let's Rocket includes 5 fun filled episodes and can be purchased on Amazon.com
Each DVD
Comes with a FREE Clip-On Blastboard Flashlight Plus Five Additional Episodes!

Well, it was. It all started with.... The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex.
The True Meaning of Smekday
It all starts with a school essay.
When
twelve-year-old Gratuity (“Tip”) Tucci is assigned to write five pages
on “The True Meaning of Smekday” for the National Time Capsule contest,
she’s not sure where to begin. When her mom started telling everyone
about the messages aliens were sending through a mole on the back of her
neck? Maybe on Christmas Eve, when huge, bizarre spaceships descended
on the Earth and the aliens—called Boov—abducted her mother? Or when the
Boov declared Earth a colony, renamed it “Smekland” (in honor of
glorious Captain Smek), and forced all Americans to relocate to Florida
via rocketpod?
In any case, Gratuity’s story is much, much
bigger than the assignment. It involves her unlikely friendship with a
renegade Boov mechanic named J.Lo.; a futile journey south to find
Gratuity’s mother at the Happy Mouse Kingdom; a cross-country road trip
in a hovercar called Slushious; and an outrageous plan to save the Earth
from yet another alien invasion.
Fully
illustrated with “photos,” drawings, newspaper clippings, and comics
sequences, this is a hilarious, perceptive, genre-bending novel from
best-selling author Adam Rex.
Smek For President
In this much anticipated sequel to The True Meaning of Smekday,
Tip and J.Lo are back for another hilarious intergalactic adventure.
And this time (and last time, and maybe next time), they want to make
things right with the Boov.
After Tip and J.Lo banished the Gorg
from Earth in a scheme involving the cloning of many, many cats, the
pair is notorious—but not for their heroics. Instead, human Dan Landry
has taken credit for conquering the Gorg, and the Boov blame J.Lo for
ruining their colonization of the planet. Determined to clear his name,
J.Lo and Tip pack into Slushious, a Chevy that J.Lo has engineered into a
fairly operational spaceship, and head to New Boovworld, the aliens’
new home on one of Saturn’s moons.
But their welcome isn’t quite
as warm as Tip and J.Lo would have liked. J.Lo is dubbed Public Enemy
Number One, and Captain Smek knows that capturing the alien is the only
way he’ll stand a chance in the Boovs’ first-ever presidential election.
With
the help of a friendly flying billboard named Bill, a journey through
various garbage chutes, a bit of time travel, and a slew of hilarious
Boovish accents, Tip and J.Lo must fight to set the record straight—and
return home in once piece. Adam Rex

1) Hugs make us feel “happy”! When we
hug another person, our bodies release oxytocin, a hormone associated with
“happiness,” according to scientific studies. [1]
2) Hugs alleviate stress! Just as a good
hug increases our oxytocin levels, it decreases our cortisol or “stress”
levels. [2]
3) Babies need hugs as much as water
and food! According to researchers at Harvard University, hugs help promote normal
levels of cortisol necessary for child development. [3]
4) Hugs make us better students! Students
who receive a supportive touch from a teacher are twice as likely to volunteer
in class. [4]
5) Hugs improve our game! Scientists at
University of California, Berkley discovered that the more affectionate members
of a team are with each other, the more likely they are to win. [4]
6) A hug a day keeps the doctor away! A
hug stimulates the thymus gland, which in turn regulates the production of
white blood cells that keep us healthy and disease-free. [5]
7) A hug stops the bug! Researchers at
Carnegie Mellon proved that individuals who were sick and received hugs had
less severe symptoms and were able to get better quicker. [6]
8) A hugging heart is a healthy heart! Research
from University of North Carolina showed that a good hug helps ease blood flow
and lower cortisol levels, which in turn help lower our heart rates. [7]
9) A hugging couple is a happy couple!
Couples that experience their partners’ love through physical affection share
higher oxytocin levels. [8]
10) Hugs let someone know you care
without having to say a word! According to Dacher Keltner, professor of
psychology at University of California, Berkeley, we can identify love from
simple human touch –
imagine how much love a big hug can communicate! [9]
BURBANK, CA,
January 21, 2015 – After much deliberation and even more hugging, Baymax, the
lovable personal companionrobot
and star of Walt Disney Animation Studio’s action-packed comedy adventure and
Academy Award® Nominated film “Big Hero 6,” was today named Most Huggable
Character of 2015 on National Hugging Day™!
The coveted award was presented by
the Ambassador of Hugs, Kevin Zaborney, founder and creator of National Hugging
Day.™ Baymax humbly accepted the award from his residence in San Fransokyo
where he attributed the honor to his “non-threatening, huggable design” and said
he looks forward to spending the upcoming year giving and receiving hugs from
all.
The Most Huggable Character Award coincides
with this month’s National Hugging Day™ held annually on January 21. National
Hugging Day™ was created to encourage people around the world show more
affection in public. There is only one way you are supposed to celebrate the
holiday: offer a hug to anyone and everyone you want.
Past
winners of the Most Huggable Awards have included Joan Rivers who wrote
after receiving her award, "I'm tempted to start saying 'Can we hug?'
instead of 'Can we talk'" alluding to her participating in a telephone
company ad; Jeff Ondash (aka Teddy McHuggins); Tessla Queen (bingtopia.com);
and Mata Amritanandamayi (Kerela, India known as the "Hugging
Saint").
Disney’s “Big Hero 6” will be

Blu-ray™ Combo Pack February 24. For more
