What To Expect From Cinderella And Frozen Fever

 

 

 

Cinderella's Ball And Anna's Birthday

On March 11th we (and our winners) we treated to an Advanced Screening of Cinderella And Frozen Fever courtesy of Walt Disney Studios Canada.  The movie both highlight celebrations! First up is Anna's birthday in Frozen Fever followed by the amazing Royal Ball in the full length live action feature film Cinderella.

 

Frozen Fever

The magic began with the short film FROZEN FEVER where Elsa decided to make up for lost time with a birthday celebration, but things don't go as expected when Elsa catches a cold!

 

Frozen Fever takes us through a tour of Arendelle with a the new song MAKING TODAY A PERFECT DAY. Which can now be downloaded on iTunes.  See the link in the image below to download it!

Post by Walt Disney Studios.

 

 

This delightful song was a collaberation from Oscar®-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“Up Here”) and Robert Lopez (“Broadway’s “The Book of Mormon”) and composer Christophe Beck (“Cake”).

Cinderella

 

The live action version of Disney's Cinderella have more to it than what you would expect.  While many of story lines from the animated version do cross over, as expressed in the video below, it has a lot more emotional moments throughout the film.

Post by Walt Disney Studios.

 

 

 

The film does a very good job of going deeper into the devestation Cinderella experienced in losing her Mother followed by her Father.  It also expresses the anguish she experiences by trying to keep up her family home that is now ruled by her evil stepmother and two step sisters.  While these are the lowest moments in her life, she keeps her promise to her Mother, "Have Courage And Be Kind" which becomes a running theme throughout the film.  When she is about to abandon her promise and give up, that is when the magic of a fairytale takes over.

More Boredom Busters - Book Review

Making The Most Of March Break

Caroline Fernandez has created a follow up to her Boredom Busters book.  2015 brings More Boredom Busters to the bookshelves with over 50 activities for kids age 7 and up! With March Break this week, the timing is perfect!

What You Will Like About It

Many of the activities in the book use items that can be found in most households. From empty yogurt containers to toilet paper rolls your family will be able to upcycle many of the items that would end up in your recycle bin.  For the extra crafting items you need for the activity, I would guess you could find a lot of things your need at the local dollar store. 

Also the book is set up by season so it can be used as a learning tool to teach about special occasions. Think of all the artistic "Make Ahead" gifts you could be making too!

Here is an example of a spring art craft to make for Mother's Day.



Plus the you don't have to worry about bookmarking all the pages.  The index in the back is designed to be very helpful to see a quick list of what project you might be interested in creating.

What Will You Make?

Do you have some creative "makers" in your home? Or perhaps you are looking to let your inner "crafter" out. Let us know in the comments what you like to craft at home.  Need some inspiration? For ideas we suggest heading out to grab More Boredom Busters! Perhaps you can get it when you head to the Chapters Waterloo March Break events this week!

March Your Way To Drayton Entertainment's Wizard Of Oz

AJ Bridel As Dorthy Has Us Over The Rainbow

When it was released that AJ Bridel would be playing the role of Dorthy in Drayton Entertainment's WIZARD OF OZ, we'd say we were over the moon, but we think OVER THE RAINBOW is better suited for this post!



We were big fans of AJ as she competed on CBC's Over The Rainbow (see why by watching the above video) and were lucky enough to have here appear at one of our events shortly after here time on the show.  Since then we  have been to see her in Drayton Entertainments productions of OLIVER! and PETER PAN.  Last Friday we had the opportunity to attend THE WIZARD OF OZ at the  Dunfield Theatre in Cambridge and it was truly magical. From the elaborate costumes to the musical numbers and the wizardery of the whole show was mezmorizing!

Cinderella And Frozen Fever Advanced Screening - Enter To Win With Your #CinderellaMoment

 

The Classic Tale Of Cinderella Becomes A Live Action Film

The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.

Soon, she is forced to become their servant, disrespected, covered in ashes and spitefully renamed Cinderella. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honour her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.”

When Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the King (Derek Jacobi) summons all maidens in the kingdom to attend a royal ball at the palace, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit. Alas, her Stepmother forbids her to attend and callously destroys her dress.

Meanwhile, the calculating Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård) devises a plan to thwart the Prince’s hopes of reuniting with Ella and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella’s life forever.

 

The Frozen Characters Return In A Short Film - Frozen Fever

 

In “Frozen Fever,” it's Anna's birthday and Elsa and Kristoff are determined to give her the best celebration ever, but when Elsa catches a cold, her powers may put more than just the party at risk. The highly-anticipated follow-up short to the global phenomenon FROZEN can be seen exclusively in theatres with Disney’s new live-action CINDERELLA.

With those two Disney films together in one screening it calls for a celebration! A #CinderellaMoment if you will

As you know we celebrate our #CinderellaMoment every time we put on our tiaras!
