Tom and Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Volume 3. You can own it on DVD October 4th from Warner Brothers Home Entertainment!

“Take one blue and white domestic cat. Add one small brown house mouse. Mix in a handful of chases, stir in a few falling anvils and top off with one brutish bulldog named Spike. Yields 14 delightful cartoons! This fast and funny collection rises to the occasion with a crazy camping trip, a chase through a carnival’s haunted house, an Alaskan adventure, and an encounter with an abominable snow rodent.  But the most outrageous moment of all comes when Tom and Jerry set aside their differences and join forces against beach muscleheads Spike and Butch in Beach Bully Bingo.

The Winnie the Pooh Movie is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on October 25th!

I know I’m gonna totally date myself here, but I remember when cable first came out.  A sales person came door to door and I seriously think my parents were the last of my friend’s parents to sign up for cable.  Back then, The Disney Channel was a premium channel, meaning it cost extra.  My parents weren’t keen on it, but there weren’t really any other kids channels at that time, so they gave in and ordered The Disney Channel.  My sister, brother and I thought we’d died and gone to heaven. 

Winnie the Pooh was literally the first show we watched when we turned on the Disney Channel that day.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  Now I’m the mom and I’ve been lucky enough to share some of my childhood favorites with them – including Winnie the Pooh and his friends, so when I got the chance to review the new Winnie the Pooh Movie, I was stoked.

In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over—to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you’re not just a normal teenager? What if you’re a teenage super hero? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy of the Justice League? That’s exactly what the members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—will found out, whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero.
