The Importance of Family with Disney Pixar’s Coco and Olaf’s Frozen Adventure

Miguel and Coco

Coco is in theaters now. We went to see it the day after Thanksgiving. The whole family loved the movie. It was full of so much heart and love for family. The perfect movie for the holiday season. The movie also began with a short called Olaf’s Frozen Adventure. The short was all about Olaf searching for traditions for the Anna and Elsa. It was longer than I expected but pretty funny.

Olaf Looking for Traditions

The music of the movie was excellent and Andrew even got up and danced for part of the movie. We were in a cinema pub so we got to have a little dancing room.

Coco with Guitar

The Character of Miguel was a good one. He was a boy who knew in his heart that he wanted to play music and he followed his dreams.

Coco with Abuela

Miguel also knew about the importance of family. He would learn even more as the movie continued but family was of huge importance in this movie.

Eva Reviews: Moana, Starlight Canoe & Friends

Moana Starlight Canoe and Friends
Photo-A-Day #4277

We recieved the Moana, Starlight Canoe & Friends to play with and review. Opinions are our own.

Eva helped me with this review by playing with the toy and telling me about it on the video below. We loved the movie Moana when we saw it as a family. There were so many great parts to it including the information about wayfinding. Wayfinding is the special way in which people from the Pacific Islands navigated the oceans. The canoe that Moana has in the movie and the other ones that she discoveres are very close to the look of a special canoe that is making its way around the world, the Hokulea. This double hulled canoe is being sailed by a group of peopel who have been learning the art of wayfinding before it is lost forever. It is so cool that a kids movie touches upon something that is so close to the heart of the Pacific Islands.

This is a pretty nice playset. The doll is an excellent one and looks great compared to her movie counterpart. The figures of Pua and Hei Hei are also done really well. Pua is the best of the bunch, he looks just like the character. The canoe is okay but the “gentle rocking motion” is not exactly that gentle. It rocks from side to side with a lot of extra motion. So much so that pua and Hei Hei fall off when you move it. Eva will talk more about it in the video.

Also, below the video is a clip from the movie Moana.
