I love movie trailers. There. I’ve said it.

I do. I love watching movie trailers to movies I would never ever dream of seeing, such as horror or thrillers. But I like watching the movie trailers to them, and even more than that – I love reading about the horror movies. I’ll go to Movie Spoiler and find out about the entire movie. It makes for interesting conversation when I tell someone about a horror movie and they ask if I’ve seen it, and of course my answer is no. But I did read about it. Saw the trailer too.

Disney movies are great and all, but really they follow the same formula. Main character loses parent, overcomes obstacle to become some sort of leader, fall in love with another leader’s son/daughter, happily ever after, The End.

So we change up our movies or TV shows.

The Chipmunk Adventure. Now that’s a movie! You have the Chipmunks, the Chipettes, awesome scenery, bright colours, vivid characters, great musical numbers, and just fun to watch. My 4yr old absolutely loves it and watches it daily. And when I mean daily, I mean 4 times a day.

That’s not including all the episodes that we watch of The Smurfs, David the Gnome, and The Adventures of the Little Koala. Yea, it’s a throw-back to my own childhood, but mine was pretty memorable and content and I want hers to be as well.
