GREASE LIVE! ~ DVD Review

Grease is the word!  The landmark, live television production of the beloved musical Grease makes its home entertainment debut with GREASE LIVE! now available on Digital HD and DVD as of March 8, 2016 from Paramount Home Media Distribution.

Featuring a young ensemble cast, GREASE LIVE! reintroduces and reimagines some of the show’s most memorable moments, great music and timeless love story to an entirely new generation.   The production draws upon both the original 1971 musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey and Paramount’s 1978 feature film adaptation to create a never-before-seen version with many modern surprises. 

The sensational cast includes Julianne Hough (Safe Haven, Rock of Ages) as the angelic Sandy; Aaron Tveit (“Graceland,” Les Miserables) as bad boy Danny Zuko; Vanessa Hudgens (Broadway's Gigi, Spring Breakers) as bad girl Rizzo; Keke Palmer (“Scream Queens,” “Masters of Sex”) as sassy Pink Lady Marty Maraschino; Carlos PenaVega (“Big Time Rush”) as Kenickie; and multi-Platinum Grammy® Award-nominated singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen as Pink Lady and beauty school dropout Frenchy.

The production also features special cameo appearances by multi-platinum pop superstar Joe Jonas and his pop-disco band DNCE as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers; actor and television host Mario Lopez as Vince Fontaine in the iconic high school dance scene; and Grammy Award®-winning R&B group Boyz II Men as Teen Angel, singing “Beauty School Dropout.” Plus, two stars from the original 1978 film Grease, Didi Conn (Frenchy) and Barry Pearl (Doody), also make appearances. 

The GREASE LIVE! DVD boasts exclusive bonus features including a behind-the-scenes look at the monumental efforts behind the live production, the actors’ transformations into their characters, the choreography, cast interviews and more. 

GREASE LIVE! DVD

The GREASE LIVE! DVD is presented in 16x9 widescreen with English 2.0 Dolby Digital.  The disc includes the following:

·       Live television production

·       Without a Net: Performing GREASE LIVE!

·       Becoming the “T-Birds” and Pink Ladies

·       Greasin’ up the Joint

·       Be-Bop, Swing and Jitterbug: The Choreography of GREASE LIVE!

·       When Was Your First…?

·       My Favorite Grease Moment

GREASE LIVE! was produced by Paramount Television.  Acclaimed film, television and theater producer Marc Platt (Wicked, Into the Woods) served as executive producer; Tony Award-nominated director Thomas Kail (Hamilton, In the Heights) was the director overseeing the stage direction and Alex Rudzinski (“Dancing with the Stars”) was the live television director. The live television adaptation was written by Broadway writers Robert Cary (Anything but Love, Ira & Abby) and Jonathan Tolins (Buyer & Cellar, The Last Sunday in June)

Review: 

I couldn't wait to see this live version on Grease. I went to see a live Broadway show years ago. I absolutely love the movie Grease. It is one of my all time favorite movies. My daughter decided she would watch it with me, at first she wasn't too sure on it. It may be because she is only 8 but once we got a little further into the show she loved it! So much that she started watching it all over again before dinner that same day and then watched it again the next day with her brother.

It is a little different from the original but that is because you can only do so much on a stage. I did like that the cast is well diverse making a little more in the now. It was a lot of fun to watch and I was super excited to see a performance but the original Frenchie! Also Boys II Men do a great job in it! All the young actors do an amazing job with their singing and dancing, plus acting.

If you love Grease you will want to see this! If you haven't seen Grease it is a great live version on the original and will give you a taste of seeing a Broadway show performance.

The whole family enjoyed this film. The kids are 8 and 9 and both of them were very involved into this film. The cast is great and the kids loved seeing what Tomorrowland looked like. It is sort of one of those futuristic type films, where you travel in time with a touch of a pin. I enjoyed watching the bonus features because I am a geek like that and enjoy watching behind the scenes and interviews.
A great movie for movie night for the whole family.

I love this movie because its about HALLOWEEN!!!  It has Halloween episodes with the Littlest Pet Shop gang. My favorite characters are Zoie and Blythe.  In one of the episodes, Blythe had to take care of Russell for a night at the littlest pet shop.  When Russell had to stay at the littlest pet shop with Blythe they had a lot of fun. Two pets from the littlest pet shop heard that Russell got to stay at the littlest pet shop for a night. Inside the DVD package you will get a Penny pumpkin carving stencil.

Strange Magic on DVD ~ Review

Strange Magic is a music-filled fairy tale about finding true love in the unlikeliest of places. It is a new animated film from Lucas film Ltd., featuring popular songs from the past six decades to help tell the tale of a colorful cast of characters, including a princess who has sworn off love, a dubious villain, a slightly nutty Sugar Plum Fairy, a tenacious elf, a mischievous imp, and a knight who is no Prince Charming. Bring Home the enchanting tale the whole family can enjoy.


Review: (This review was written by my 7 yr old daughter)

I liked Strange Magic because I love that Dawn and her sister sing songs and are fairies! I love the Songs in this movie! My mom loves the songs also as a lot are ones she listened to when she was a kid. My favourite songs are 1: I want to dance. 2:Strange Magic. 3:I am falling in love with you. 4: Never fall in love again.
In the movie there two girls and a animal and bad guys. The one girl, Marion, had her heart broken and then she falls in love with a bad guy. After they fall in love he turns into a good guy. He really was a good guy at heart from the start. The Elf went to the dark forest. No one has been there before except the bad guys who have taken down all the rose petals because they didn't want the Sugar Plum Fairy to make anymore love portions. One time the bad guy fell in love with another creature because the Sugar Plum Fairy gave him a love portion. This portion didn't work for the bad guy so he trapped the Sugar Plum Fairy and locked her away.  
The bad guy hates singing but his mother loves to sing to him.
I give Strange Magic five stars. COOL!!!
YAY!YAY! BYE AMIGO!!! 
I HAVE PIC TO GIVE YOU!!

I like the movie because it is funny when I watched it I laugh so hard I snorted. I was home for school sick when I watched MAYA THE BEE MOVIE!!!!
Maya came out of the hive to early for her age.  Maya likes to talk a lot. A girl bee put Maya back in the hive because she wasn't allowed out yet. They did not watch Maya and she left the hive again. The Queen and the Queen's helper called Maya the wrong name.. The Queen's helper is really bad and was trying to take over the Queen's place in the hive. Maya makes a friend by the name of Flip who is a little silly. Also Maya meets another bee who can dance. Maya makes a few friends on her adventure back to the hive.

My daughter loved watching all the episodes but says her favourite are Roll Around the Clock, The Tea Party, The Princess Problems and The Great Lemonade Stand war.
