Get the First Look at Knowledge Kids’ First-Ever Original Animated Series Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers


Since it started streaming online, Knowledge Kids has been a big hit with families across Canada.  Now with the addition of the first Knowledge Kids original animated series Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers, Canadian Parents will soon have a whole new show to enjoy with their little ones. Here is the first look of these 3 friends soon to be streaming on Knowledge Kids




"Creative problem-solving, resilience and teamwork are central to the mission of Knowledge Kids content,” said Michele Paris, Senior Manager of Children’s Programming and Executive Producer on the series. “Luna, Chip and Inkie will help kids see new ways of approaching a problem and persevering to get the job done!”

Set in the forests, mountains, lakes and ocean near the fictional town of Eagle Creek, the series is inspired by the rugged, natural beauty of the Pacific West Coast. “Kids worldwide have spent more time than usual indoors lately,” said Paris. “This series is a love-letter to nature. We hope it’ll remind kids of the incredible adventures that await them when they head outdoors.”


Beginning in April 2022, this Canadian-produced series is sure to delight children aged 3-6.

The Addams Family 2 Blu-Ray and DVD Release Giveaway - What a Trip!

We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes, I will receive a copy for review, but this just means I'm able to giveaway the film as a prize too! Enter the contest at the end of this post. 



Last month I told you all about the arrival of The Addams Family 2 on Digital, and now you can own Blu-Ray and DVD versions beginning January 18, 2022

Morticia and Gomez are distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time.” To reclaim their bond, they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. What could possibly go wrong?

Feel like you are on vacation with the Addams Family from the comfort of your own home.


With the Blu-Ray and DVD version of the film, you can see extra content featuring the All-Star cast of The Addams Family 2 as a bonus! What a trip!
