Disneynature was launched in April 2008. Its mission is to bring the world’s top nature filmmakers together to share a wide variety of wildlife stories on the big screen in order to engage, inspire and educate theatrical audiences everywhere. Walt Disney was a pioneer in wildlife filmmaking, producing 13 True-Life Adventure motion pictures between 1948 and 1960, which earned eight Academy Awards®. The first five Disneynature films, “Earth,” “Oceans,” “African Cats,” “Chimpanzee,” and “Bears” are five of the top six highest overall grossing feature-length nature films to date, with “Chimpanzee” garnering a record-breaking opening weekend for the genre. Disneynature’s commitment to conservation is a key pillar of the label and the films empower the audience to help make a difference. Through donations tied to opening-week attendance and first week of in-home sales for all five films, Disneynature, through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, has planted three million trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, established 40,000 acres of marine protected area in The Bahamas, protected 65,000 acres of savanna in Kenya, protected nearly 130,000 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat, cared for chimpanzees, educated 60,000 school children about chimpanzee conservation and funded research and restoration grants in U.S. National Parks, supporting conservation projects across 400,00 acres of U.S. National Parkland and protecting endangered species.

Collectors Edition Garfield Holiday Collection Nov 4th Review+Giveaway




I am really excited to tell you about the Garfield Holiday Collection that is Available on Dvd Only at Walmart on November 4th I was so excited for the kids to see Garfield the way I remember Garfield. The only Garfield they know about is the animated one that is the actual movie. So when they saw this movie they were intrigued by it because it was the cartoon. This Dvd has A Garfield Christmas, Garfield's Thanksgiving, Garfield's Halloween Adventure, Garfield on the town, Garfield in Paradise.




I was actually excited to watch this too. It brought me back to my childhood. I remember loving Garfield as a child me and my sister would watch it on Saturday Morning.





The kids loved all the episodes but my daughter wanted to watch the Halloween one over and over again. I think it may of had something to do with Halloween coming up and she is just really excited. Now my son liked the Christmas one but really they watched the whole Dvd over and over again.  



My daughter even loved watching the Dvd Extras where Jim Davis shows you how he draws Garfield. My daughter actually sat down and paused the movie and started to draw along with him. She is just getting into drawling and all that stuff so she loved doing this. 





ANDERSON DIGITAL PRESENTS
GARFIELD HOLIDAY COLLECTION
Available on DVD on November 4, 2014

Los Angeles, October XX, 2014 – Anderson Digital brings you five Garfield TV specials in one hilarious must-own collection. GARFIELD HOLIDAY COLLECTION includes Emmy™ Award-winners “Garfield Halloween Adventure” and “Garfield on the Town,” as well as Emmy™ Award-nominated “A Garfield Christmas,” “A Garfield Thanksgiving” and “Garfield in Paradise.”  The holiday collection is available on DVD on November 4, 2014 for an SRP of $14.99.

GARFIELD first debuted in the United States on June 19, 1978 in just 41 newspapers.  Today, it has become a phenomenon.  The cartoon strip is now in over 2,600 newspapers worldwide and read by over 263 million people.  Guinness World Records named GARFIELD "The Most Widely Syndicated Comic Strip in the World." 

From the comic strip's success - the GARFIELD brand expanded and crossed over to many mediums - TV shows (GARFIELD AND FRIENDS, which CBS syndicated from 1987-2000,  receiving ten Emmy™ nominations and Four Emmy™ Awards for Outstanding Animated Program), films (GARFIELD: THE MOVIE, 2004 and GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES, 2006, which stars Breckin Meyer, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Bill Murray) and comic books (over 130,000,000 books sold worldwide).

GARFIELD, through its Paws, Inc. label, has a healthy licensing program with nearly 400 manufacturers creating thousands of products worldwide.

“Of the three holiday specials, the Thanksgiving show is the most ‘Garfield,’ in that it involves food,” said GARFIELD creator Jim Davis.  “Garfield gets put on a diet early in the show so he spends a lot time thinking about food, talking about food, and trying to get food.  There’s also some funny stuff dealing with Jon’s bachelorhood and the general ‘haven’t a clue’ approach he takes to making this big meal to celebrate the day.“

GARFIELD HOLIDAY COLLECTION TV Specials:
“A Garfield Christmas”: Garfield, Jon, and Odie go to Jon's grandmother's house for Christmas, where Garfield finds a present for Grandma.

“A Garfield Thanksgiving”: Finds Jon with a love interest-- a veterinarian who orders Garfield on a diet--and then comes for Thanksgiving dinner!

“Garfield Halloween Adventure”: Finds the portly hero and airhead-sidekick Odie the dog scrounging through owner Jon's attic to find perfect costumes, then encountering ghosts and ghoulies that seem a tad authentic.

“Garfield on the Town”: Garfield escapes from the car on a trip to the vet and finds the place where he grew up.

“Garfield in Paradise”: The Garfield gang is in Hawaii with a 1957 Chevy.

23 Blast In Theaters This Friday!





Film Notes
Running time: 98 minutes, *Not Rated
October 24, 2014
SYNOPSIS





23 Blast is based on the amazingly true story of Travis Freeman. A typical teenager growing up in a small town in Kentucky, Travis is a local hero on and off the field. In the fall of 1997, in the prime of his youth, he is unexpectedly stricken with an infection that destroys his optic nerve. He becomes blind overnight. Under the influence of parents who love him, a physical therapist who challenges him, a coach who inspires him, and a best friend who he cannot bear to leave behind, Travis shows us what true bravery is by competing on the gridiron, helping his team advance to the State playoffs. We follow Travis and Jerry Baker, his closest friend, from the time they meet on the football field as kids through high school. Jerry’s attraction to the dark side of teenage temptations, beer and drugs, threatens to pull the friends apart. It is only on the football field where they truly connect.

First of all, he must never touch the hands of the clock. Secondly, he must control his anger. And last, but certainly not least, he must never, ever fall in love. The moment Jack sets eyes on a young girl singing on a street corner, the hands of his clock-heart begin to race. Desperate to find her again, Jack launches himself into a romantic quest that will lead him from the lochs of Scotland, to the city of Paris and all the way to Andalusia.
