3 Children Family Movies on DVD: BEDTIME STORIES, HAPPY FEET & MARCH OF PENGUINS

Description: 3 Children Family Movies on DVD: BEDTIME STORIES, HAPPY FEET & MARCH OF PENGUINS BEDTIME STORIES: A fantastical tale about a man who makes up bedtime stories for his niece and nephew only to find that they magically come true the next day, Bedtime Stories is a funny and enjoyable film about finding happiness in unexpected places. Skeeter (Adam Sandler) grew up with his sister Wendy (Courteney Cox) in a small hotel run by his father Marty (Jonathan Pryce) which was eventually sold to Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) with the caveat that Skeeter would someday assume a leadership role in the business. Expansion transformed the small hotel into the luxury Nottingham Hotel, but Skeeter is just a handyman with little hope of advancement. When his sister needs to leave the state for a job interview, Skeeter ends up sharing the responsibility of watching her two elementary-age children Bobbi (Laura Ann Kessling) and Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit), whom he hasn't seen for years, with Wendy's friend Jill (Keri Russell). Initially an awkward situation, Skeeter and the kids bond over bedtime stories which Skeeter and the children make up. When events in the story start coming true, Skeeter tries to spin the stories to benefit his life, but events take some unexpected turns thanks to the kids' wild imaginations and some strange translations between fiction and reality. New relationships flourish and find happiness in a most unexpected place. Rated PG for mild rude humor and mild language, but appropriate for most ages 6 and older. HAPPY FEET: Put On Your Happy Feet! In the great nation of the Emperor penguins, you’re nobody if you can’t sing. That’s a real problem for little Mumble, because not only can’t he sing, but he dances — something no self-respecting penguin would do! Cast out from the colony, Mumble sets off across the vast Antarctic to prove that being true to yourself can make all the difference in the world. Happy Feet is a feel-good kids movie with an important message for all ages. Trivia includes: Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, and Robin Williams all did their own singing in the movie; The dancers in the film were sent to 'penguin school' to learn the birds’ characteristic movements; Mumble has a shadow under his chin and black spots on his feet to suggest the bow tie and spats often worn by dancer Fred Astaire in his early films; Mumble’s parents, Norma Jean and Memphis, were named for and patterned after Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley; and, Happy Feet was the first Animated Feature Film Oscar winner to also use live-action non-animated elements. MARCH OF THE PENGUINS: This breathtakingly beautiful documentary chronicles the heroic and harrowing journey that emperor penguins make amid subfreezing temperatures and violent snowstorms at the South Pole in order to mate. It's a scientific enigma that these flightless aquatic birds leave, at summer's end, the watery element that is most favorable for their survival to travel hundreds of miles to engage in their annual mating ritual on treacherous Antarctic ice floes. With a determination that rivals that of the animals he documents so impressively, biologist and filmmaker Luc Jacquet spent more than a year documenting the emperor penguins' epic struggle not just to reproduce, but also to survive the March Of The Penguins.
