ARCTIC ADVENTURE ON FROZEN POND

** A Geek Daddy received the featured product for free to review**

My kids' soccer games last Saturday were washed out by a rainy weekend so we spent some time inside enjoying the animated movie Arctic Adventure: On Frozen Pond on dvd.  Featuring the comedy duo Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox from the popular YouTube channel SMOSH, which has had over 6.1 billion views, they join Jon Lovitz (Saturday Night Live, Hotel Transylvania) in a fantasy tale about frog warriors on a quest.  Available from Lionsgate on DVD, Digital HD, and cable television On Demand, Arctic Adventure: On Frozen Pond is a family-friendly movie that has been awarded the Dove Family Seal of Approval.  My son and daughter spent a lot of time giggling while watching this show. From our experience watching it I can say Arctic Adventure: On Frozen Pond is a nice home video selection to keep in mind when you are looking to amuse your kids on a lazy afternoon.

Join the frog warriors Freddy and One-Eye (Padilla and Hecox) along with the frog princess (Ambyr Childers) and her bodyguard Ababwa (Jon Lovitz) on a fun adventure filled with mystery as they search for the legendary Crystal Frog.  But when sneaky One-Eye (Hecox) plots to steal the mystical artifact for himself to make himself king it is up to Ababwa, Freddy and the Frog Princess to thwart him.



Visit lionsgateshop.com for more information about the show and to order your own DVD.  The home video DVD version of Arctic Adventure: On Frozen Pond includes the bonus feature "Giving the Characters a Voice: At the Recording Studio with Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, Ambry Childers and Jon Lovitz" featurette.

THE PEANUTS MOVIE - BLURAY/DVD/DIGITAL HD + FLYING ACE SNOOPY PLUSH GIFT SET GIVEAWAY

Hurrah! Hurrah! THE PEANUTS MOVIE will soon be available on Blu-ray and DVD beginning March 8, 2016!!!  Watching Peanuts television specials tied to holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Years and Valentine's Day every year was a family tradition for both my wife and I growing up that we've now passed on to our kids as well.  Based upon our affection for the television specials there was no doubt our family was going to see THE PEANUTS MOVIE when it was in theaters last year and we loved it!  My kids, wife and I all thoroughly enjoyed seeing Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang in their first movie and are really looking forward to adding THE PEANUTS MOVIE to our home video library. I am sure now when we regularly watch the  holiday specials on TV we'll also routinely be watching THE PEANUTS MOVIE as well.

Make a Zoo-flake

When our family went to see the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, this week we saw a trailer for the next Disney animated feature film that will be arriving soon in theaters, ZOOTOPIA.  My kids excitedly asked if we could see this movie next week while they are out from school on Winter Break, but unfortunately we are going to have to wait a bit longer than that as ZOOTOPIA isn't being released in the United States until March 4, 2016.



To provide a bit of winter fun for my kids and our A Geek Daddy blog readers while we wait for the arrival of the film in theaters, our friends at Walt Disney Studies have provided some ZOOTOPIA themed activity sheets that let you create snow flakes incorporating the characters featured in the movie's trailer.  Make your own Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, or Flash Zoo-flake with these fun cut-out activity sheets.




About the movie:

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other.  Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it's a melting pot where animals from every environment live together -- a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything.  But when rookie police officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a force of big tough animals isn't so easy.  Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with fast talking, scam artist fox Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) to solve the mystery.
