I’ve gone on record before as stating that I dislike the Transformers Movie toys. They are cheap, not that well made and the robots look horrible. I’ve even gone so far as stating that Transformers 2 scenes looked like someone threw a ton of silverware in the air and filmed it at triple speed.

A brand new collection of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes releases on Tuesday May 24, 2011. This time Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Pluto and the whole gang are in the Great Outdoors. This set comes with five episodes including an all new never before seen episode called Mickey’s Fish Story. The other four episodes are Mickey’s Camp Out, Mickey and Minnie’s Jungle Safari, Daisy in the Sky and Daisy’s Grasshopper. The episodes came on DVD and for the first time as a Digital Copy.

The cast is always asking kids questions like which mousekatool the gang should use. I can imagine Mickey asking the question and kids being able to tap the correct tool on the iPad.
Eva enjoyed watching these episodes when she saw them on TV and even more when she watched them with the Mickey Mote. But her favorite viewing screen is the iPad. I swear I’m going to have to get an iPad 2 just so I can have some time on my device. Continue reading Review: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Great Outdoors →
