Need some Charlie Brown? Peanuts 1960s Collection coming to DVD
June 29, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
With all the bad news in the world, I think we can all use a little Charlie Brown right about now. "Peanuts: 1960s Collection" is coming to DVD, and it has lots of favorites from the 1960s, including "A Charlie Brown Christmas," "Charlie Brown’s All-Stars," "It’s the Great Pumpkin," "You’re in Love," "He’s Your Dog," and "It Was a Short Summer."
Charles Schultz knew exactly how to get to the heart of things with his simple characters with complex problems, whether it was Lucy’s quest to get Schroeder’s attention or Charlie Brown’s to kick that football.
This re-mastered set hits DVD July 7, 2009. Here’s a sneak peak:

DVD Giveaway - "Shrek the Halls" with Beanie Baby!
December 31, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
Here’s a fun one for kids of all ages. I’ve got a giveaway package that includes a "Shrek the Halls" DVD, along with a cute Beanie Baby plush toy (value: $18.99). Isn’t he cute?!
Released Nov. 4, 2008, this 22-minute DVD finds the Big Green Guy wanting to throw the "perfect Christmas" for Fiona and the kids. The only problem is, he has no Yule experience. He’s an ogre, after all. So he uses a book called "Christmas for Village Idiots," and gets so caught up in trying to do it the "right" way, he loses sight of the magic.
TO ENTER: I have ONE "Shrek the Halls/Plush" to give away. To enter the contest, simply leave a comment on this post by midnight on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2009. Be sure to include a valid email address. A winner will be drawn randomly. I’ll email the winner for their snail-mail address after the contest ends. Good luck!

"Shaun the Sheep: Off the Baa!" - DVD Info and Trailer
November 7, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
I’ve been a big fan of “Wallace & Gromit” for years, so I was happy to see another Nick Park/Aardman series, “Shaun the Sheep,” show up on the Disney channel.
Now “Shaun the Sheep: Off the Baa!” is coming to DVD on Nov. 11, 2008. While the Disney episodes are “shorts,” aired in between other shows, the DVD features eight full-length episodes that revolve around Shaun and his barnyard pals, Shirley, Timmy and the Naughty Pigs.
