Woody Woodpecker DVD Giveaway!

Disclaimer: The Fandads were provided with a review copy in exchange for a post about the movie and a giveaway for our followers. The prize will be provided by the studio.) 

I remember when I was younger waking up early before school and watching cartoons while eating my breakfast or getting dressed. I would watch Tom & Jerry, the Flintstones, and Woody Woodpecker. I remember how much I would laugh while watching Woody Woodpecker and sometimes get to school late because I was too caught up in watching his adventures on television. Somehow, in teaching my children about all things I grew up with, I have seemed to forgot about Woody Woodpecker. Well, that is going to change, somewhat, with the Woody Woodpecker movie.

Ant-Man and The Wasp trailer is out and it's huge!!

A few days ago on our Facebook page, I asked our followers, which movie from the 2018 Disney/Marvel line-up were they excited to see. Some of the answers were for Infinity War but my answer was Ant-Man and The Wasp. Lo and behold, it looks like someone heard me because a few days later we got this gem. Yes, Marvel has released the first trailer for Ant-Man and The Wasp and it looks amazing.  Also, if you zoom in the poster above you can see our two heroes in action. 

The best for our kids

As a parent, we always want what is best for our children. Whether it is going to a good school, living in a nice neighborhood, or just making sure that they have the essentials every day: food, clothes shelter. Somehow, some way, no matter how much we love them and try to do our best for them, something comes along and changes that notion for you as a parent.

Get ready for an amazing 2018 with Disney!

One email that I always look forward to at the beginning of the year is the email from Disney showcasing the movies that they have coming out in the year. Yes, this year is going to be a fantastic year if you are a fan of Marvel, but there are a few old favorites coming back to grace the big screen and entertain you and your family. Let's begin, shall we?

Get ready to play some classics on your 3DS!

Hey friends, so your child got a new 3DS for the holidays and you want them to learn about the classics, right? What is a parent to do? Well, do not worry because your friends at Nintendo have got you covered. 

I have never felt so helpless in all my life!

Sunday morning started off like every other morning (just by that sentence alone you can already tell things are going to go south sooner or later). As I was getting out of the shower, my wife came rushing in with my 4-year-old in her arms and repeating his name over and over and saying something is wrong. I looked down at my son and was shocked at what I saw. The little boy in my wife's arms was not the same little boy that was dancing like a maniac the night before in the kitchen to the Beatles while I washed dishes. This little boy was not him.
