Sing 2 is a Cause for Celebration - Review and Giveaway

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

Buster Moon and his band of theatrical performers are back and bigger than ever in Sing 2.  In the follow-up to the 2016 film Sing, all the characters you loved are ready to hit the big stage in the Entertainment Capital of the World! What they don't realize is that the road to the big leagues is a lot bumpier than they anticipated. Especially when Miss Crawly is behind the wheel!  

via GIPHY

Buster is up to his old tricks of promising what he may not be able to deliver on.  This time it recruit a former rock star to join his latest stage production.  When plans get complicated for each of these characters learns to lean on one another and find the confidence to believe in themselves.

The new chapter in Illumination's smash animated franchise arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet... all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world. There's just one hitch: They first have to persuade the world's most reclusive rock star--played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut--to join them

We think this is a fantastic family film with lessons that you should always reach for your dreams and not let the negative thoughts of others stop you. It will have your whole gang dancing and singing along to songs from the 70s, 80s. 90s and recent hits. After watching the film you may want to celebrate and put on your own show.  To help with that, be sure to download the Sing 2 Activity Kit

It is filled with planning ideas, colouring pages and activity sheets you can do with your own family of performers.

There is all sorts of Family Fun in Peter Rabbit 2 - Review and Activity

Peter Rabbit 2, Rent it at home July 2! 

For one hundred years Peter Rabbit and his Friends have been delighting families with their adventures and this week Peter Rabbit 2 will be available to rent at home.

This film begins as the garden-loving animals witness the marriage of Bea and Thomas, and while Peter is happy at that moment, he begins to realize his place in their family is not what he expected it to be.  As Peter learns that everyone sees him as a mischief-maker, he longs to be known for his redeeming characteristics instead of his character flaws. When Peter befriends a new pack of animals that see him in a different light, his two worlds collide and the tale takes flight!

In PETER RABBIT™ 2, the lovable rogue is back. Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated, but when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be

.

We think Peter Rabbit 2 will be enjoyed by all ages and it helps show that families come in all shapes, sizes and in this case species! All sorts of families will love this movie and connect with the themes in it.
