When I saw the first trailer for SING I was hooked. I love animation and great music in a movie. The whole Despicable Me series is fun and funny so I know that SING is going to be a funny ride, too. Plus, I think the kids will really like it. To get them excited about seeing it I have this SING Coloring Page to download and print out. They can color the characters and watch the trailer and get excited to see the movie. If we were a bit closer to an AMC theater that was having the free showing than maybe we’d think of going that day. However, we’re not that close. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t an AMC close to you. Check the “Sing Saturday,” site for the AMC closest to you. More details about the movie and Sing Saturday below.

This past Monday I had the lucky opportunity to attend a sneak preview of Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph. The movie will be released this Friday and I cannot wait to see it again. A friend of mine once called this movie a Toy Story for video game geeks. He is so true about that. When I was a kid I remember playing so many games at the Arcade and I played so many games on my Atari 2600, my Nintendo (NES) and in college I bought a PlayStation. So many hours of my childhood and young adult life were spent playing video games. I’ll still drop a quarter into a classic game when I see one out in the wild.
