To be honest, I was never that good at skiing and one of the benefits of living in Florida is that no one can grab you and drag you off for a day of fun in the snow on the spur of a moment. On the other hand, if I had owned cool Pixar snowboards, jackets and snowpants like these as a kid, I might still be on the slopes.

Burton Pro Rider Mikkel Bang’s board of choice, the Custom Restricted is a super fun, all-mountain board that floats like a dream in powder but can also hold its own in the park.

When Brave arrived on our doorstep late one evening, we immediately unwrapped it and popped it in the DVD player. We enjoyed the movie so much in theaters, the wait to get re-acquainted with old friends from the movie was unbearable (yea, I went there).
Brave, Pixar’s first ‘Princess’ film, tells the story of Merida and her family as neighboring clans arrive to compete for her hand in marriage. Along the way Merida and her mother have to come to terms with their roles and responsibilities. On the surface, its’ a story you would more likely expect to come from Disney, but with all Pixar films, there is more to the film than just a princess and a castle. The familiar theme of needing to look below the surface to see what’s real intertwines nicely with the family conflict aspect of Brave.
I was impressed with the quality of research, production, and depth of world building that went into the movie. These are worlds I would love to visit (although I’d miss my modern comforts). What I love about the DVD is the opportunity to really dive into those elements via the extras.
So I was happy to find Brave’s DVD/Blu-Ray combo packed with special features that take you through much of Pixar’s production process. You’ll also enjoy the new short, The Legend of Mordu, which combines 2D and CG animated scenes.
Pixar’s Brave is definitely worth adding to your family’s collection and at up to 46% off the retail price at Amazon, it’s a steal today.
Just a reminder that both Brave and new volume of Pixar Shorts are available today on Blu-Ray or DVD. We are delighted to share the below clip from “La Luna,” a Pixar short that is featured on both of tomorrow’s releases. “La Luna” is Enrico… Read More »Both Brave and new DVD of Pixar Shorts are Available Today
