In kid movie news…
Following in the (glass slipper) heels of several live action movies lately (Snow White & The Huntsman, Mirror Mirror, etc.) comes a NEW non-cartoon feature for Cinderella! Set to hit theaters everywhere on March 13th, 2015, the cast includes Academy Award®-winner Cate Blanchett and Oscar®-nominee Helena Bonham Carter, Lily James and Richard Madden.
“It is impossible to think of Cinderella without thinking of Disney and the timeless images we’ve all grown up watching,” Academy Award®-nominee Kenneth Branagh, who will direct the film, said in a press release.”And those classic moments are irresistible to a filmmaker. With Lily James we have found our perfect Cinderella. She combines knockout beauty with intelligence, wit, fun and physical grace. Her Prince is being played by Richard Madden, a young actor with incredible power and charisma. He is funny, smart and sexy and a great match for Cinderella.”
OHHHH… can’t wait!
In book news…
Lately, my two year old twins and I just can’t get enough of the adorable “touch, think, learn” series by Xavier Deneux. Our favorites are Opposites and Colors… and, yes, through adorable 3D-ish illustrations (read: cut outs), we are learning along the way… well, they are… I know my colors and opposites… unless it’s been a particularly long day…
