A blast from the past… Jem & The Holograms out on DVD! Review and Giveaway

A blast from the past… Jem & The Holograms out on DVD! Review and Giveaway

Growing up my kid sister loved this show – so like many things I suffered though watching it (instead of Thundercats or Transformers)… But none the less any child of the last 70’s and 80’s will know this show all too well!

I’m sure I watched a lot of Jem and the Holograms on TV when I was a child. I loved her pink hair as I think I tried to paint my sister’s hair once or twice – just trying to torment her!

Dont remember the show? here is a clip from Jem and the Holograms the Truly Outrageous Complete Series. This is a blast from the past to the point of where it all begins!

“Jerrica Meets Synergy”

 

On October 11, 2011, Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Hasbro Inc., released the long-awaited JEM and The Holograms: The Truly Outrageous Complete Series! 11-DVD box set, sparkling with all the episodes in the order they were intended and an exclusive extra DVD packed with bonus features, including archival material rarely seen by fans! Poised to present a hard-to-refuse offer for loyal fans, this uncompromising 11-DVD box set is collected in a specially designed box and will be made available in stores nationwide. Also available to own on the same day is the single season DVD debut of JEM and The Holograms: Season One in a 4-DVD box set.

The series “JEM and The Holograms” ran from 1985-’88 in first-run syndication and still boasts a loyal and vocal fan base. It is frequently credited with influencing fashion in the late 1980s and beyond, and launching the careers of female pop-rock stars and music groups. The series follows Jerrica Benton, whose discovery of Synergy, a powerful computer companion, allows her to transform from co-owner of Starlight Music into rock star Jem. Teaming with her sister and best friends who form The Holograms, Jem sets out to make their musical dreams come true, even as she battles against the ruthless Eric Raymond and his musical protégés.

I’ve got one more clip  “Talent Search”

The Lion King Diamond Edition Combo pack review and giveaway

The Lion King Diamond Edition Combo pack review and giveaway

The Lion King is available now for the First Time Ever on Blu-ray Hi-Def and Blu-ray 3D!
It was just released TODAY, October 4th, 2011! [Amazon]

“An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters and award-winning music sets the stage for ‘The Lion King’, a Disney classic that follows the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who ‘just can’t wait to be king.’ But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba’s exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa. Adopting their carefree lifestyle of ‘Hakuna Matata,’ Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the ‘Circle of Life.’”

The Lion King first debuted in 1994 but returned to the Disney Vault in 2004 and has been unavailable since (other then ebay that is)! It is finally out from the Disney Vault but for a limited time only. Be sure to grab this title while it is available! Plus if you saw in the movies during its two week run in 3-D this is the one for you.

We all grew up saying Hakuna Matata ok well at least I did… and now I just use it as a passing phrase (really as a joke) but that didnt stop my family from running to see this with my son.  I’m not going to cover plot points 101 but this is a classic disney movie for a reason it has a dark twist (death) and a scary villain (scare). Make sure your children are old enough to handle those two elements and then pop the popcorn cause its time to watch one of the classics.  For me it was always a toss up between this movie and Aladdin (also usually the winner cause of genie) are my two all time favorites.

Here’s something cool to note on the heels of the phenomenal success of The Lion King 3D – which will cross the $80 million mark at the domestic box office today – The Walt Disney Studios has announced limited theatrical engagements for four of its classic films for the first time in 3D. The following titles from Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios will be released in 2012 and 2013:

  • Beauty and the Beast – January 13, 2012
  • Disney•Pixar’s Finding Nemo – September 14, 2012
  • Disney•Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. – January 18, 2013 (Monsters University, a prequel to the original film, arrives in theaters in Disney Digital 3D on June 21, 2013)
  • The Little Mermaid – September 13, 2013
