Captain Planet and the Planeteers - Season One DVD

Posted by Robin . on Wednesday, April 27, 2011, In : DVD 
There are a lot of cartoons that I watched as a child that I love introducing to my kids. Some are silly and pointless and then there are others that, while entertaining, teach strong lessons that I feel my kids and all kids should learn. Captain Planet was always one of those cartoons that taught valuable lessons. It's funny because the eco-friendly message is so strong these days but, this cartoon began making it's impact over 20 years ago.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers is about an envi...

I remember when my 6 year old son first saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua. He laughed his butt off and sang the song for weeks on end. He's seen that first one dozens of times. So, when we got the chance to review Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2, I jumped at it. As soon as my kids saw it, they started jumping up and down begging to watch it. And, once they did watch it, it did not disappoint.



The new installment in the lives of these hilarious and adorable chihuahuas is a fun-filled movie that my kids lo...

My son is 6 and, in the last year or so, he has really started the normal little fibs that most kids tell.
