DC SUPERHERO GIRLS LEGENDS OF ATLANTIS

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this blog post. The opinions I share are my own.

My daughter enjoyed a slumber party with her DC SUPERHERO GIRLS dolls watching these comic book inspired character's newest movie which just came out to view via Digital and DVD.  DC SUPERHERO GIRLS portray heroes ranging from Batgirl to Wonder Woman as teenagers during their high school years. Aimed at an audience of elementary school aged children, the DC SUPERHERO GIRLS provide age appropriate action adventures that both girls and boys can enjoy through story books, comics, and movies like the recently released DC SUPERHERO GIRLS: LEGENDS OF ATLANTIS. These characters also have a toy line of action figures and dolls that receive a lot of playtime in our household.



DC SUPERHERO GIRLS: LEGENDS OF ATLANTIS starts off with what seems like an uneventful day at school, if you can call any day uneventful when attending a place called Super Hero High, when the powerful Book of Legends is heisted from the high school's library. In order to thwart the theft and recover this magical book, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, and the rest of their crew of super powered high schooler's go on an undersea journey to Atlantis.

Upon reaching Atlantis, the girls engage a pair of ocean-dwelling thieves named Mara and Siren who turn out to be some formidable foes. The DC SUPERHERO GIRLS must work together and with some help from a teenage Aquaman battle to avoid Mara and Siren from utilizing the stolen tome to unleash an army of monsters meant to subjugate the world.  Can the collective powers of the DC SUPERHERO GIRLS save the day? Plus can they do it in time to get back to school without missing class?

Home Entertainment is available at most major retailers that sell digital (iTunes, GooglePlay, Vudu) and DVD (Best Buy, Target, Walmart) editions of movies.

My daughter found the animated movie exciting and really enjoyed watching it. In fact, she talked it up so much that her brother who didn't want to initially see it had to watch it for himself. So the two of them watched it together again the next day after she had her DC SUPERHERO GIRLS slumber party with her dolls before bedtime the previous night.

The movie's animation does a very nice job of duplicating the illustrations and graphics from the DC SUPERHERO GIRLS story books and graphic novels. If your kids are fans of the DC SUPERHERO GIRLS they are sure to enjoy this movie.  In fact, most kids in the 6 to 12 years old age range who enjoy super hero adventures will be entertained by it.  Because it is a fun, age appropriate action movie for children, DC SUPERHERO GIRLS: LEGENDS OF ATLANTIS gets A Geek Daddy nod of approval.

A Geek Daddy received a DVD of DC SUPERHERO GIRLS: LEGENDS OF ATLANTIS for free from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment to review. The dolls, books and comics that my family owns we purchased with our own money. Views expressed are honest and my own.

Super Amazing Princess Heroes -- The Gift of Gift

Just in time for the holidays, there is a new Super Amazing Princess Heroes children’s picture book out titled, “The Gift of Gift”, which highlights girl empowerment, diversity, and a heartwarming adventure in Africa. It is available now at bookstores around the United States and online retailers as well as at libraries across the country.  Proceeds from the book will be shared with World Children’s Initiative, a non-profit organization that built a heart center in Uganda, which was the first facility of its type on the African continent. The Super Amazing Princess Heroes stories feature three wonderful girls who discover magical tiaras that transform them into princesses with super powers.

A tale of compassion, heroism and visionary thinking, "The Gift of Gift" features the three main Super Amazing Princess Heroes – Kinney, Oceana, and Sammie – who learn that one of their Ugandan friends, a wonderful girl named Gift, is sick with a heart condition. The girls spring into action and help build a heart hospital in Uganda. Gift not only becomes healthy, but also receives another very special transformation, as she becomes a new Super Amazing Princess Hero with the power of healing.

The book was illustrated by Sedi Pak, a Los Angeles-based fine artist and sculptor. With an innovative approach to children’s books, she painted the scenes on birch plywood panels, which gives the vibrant illustrations an underlying wood grain that is full of warmth. Sanjay Nambiar, the book’s award-winning author and creator of the Super Amazing Princess Heroes, is a dad of identical twin daughters who wanted to create a literary series that inspires and empowers young girls. Check out A Geek Daddy's review of his first book that provided the origin story for his girl heroines by clicking here.

“The Gift of Gift” is the result of a special partnership with World Children’s Initiative (WCI), which built a hospital in Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami as well as the African heart center depicted in "The Gift of Gift". The title character in the story was inspired by a real-life girl named Gift, who was WCI’s first heart patient in Uganda. Proceeds from the book will be shared with WCI, while Pak and Nambiar provided their services pro bono for the project.

“This special book embraces girl empowerment and diversity while reminding girls that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to,” author Sanjay Nambiar shared with A Geek Daddy. “We’re very honored to collaborate with WCI for this project and share proceeds with them. This unique book has the potential to entertain and inspire people around the globe.”
