Get a Taste of The Scottish Highlands – if You’re #Brave Enough!

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. From Disney and Pixar, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition and challenges destiny to change her fate…

Girl Hero featured in new movie brave

I’ve already told you guys how VERY much I am excited about this new animated movie featuring a princess as the hero kicking bad guy butt… I think that is so super cool. There are not enough kids movies that show confident girls doing brave things… The film takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D in select theaters. But until then, I’ve got some little sneak peeks for you!

Get ready for epic adventures

And I mean really, are there any other kind of adventures? If you and your kiddos are as excited about the upcoming release of Brave, and are having a hard time waiting – Check out the super adorable Disney / Pixar Brave Movie Merida Princess Doll that we got last week on Amazon, or the other playsets and books featuring the movie characters. And – check out this great recipe inspired by the movie…

Scotland recipes from Pixar movie Brave

Scotch Egg Recipe from Brave

This seriously sounds sooooo good. We have a little bit of Scottish blood running through our family tree, and I find it really interesting to learn little pieces about our ancestors. There is an amazingly old family cookbook with a few hand-written recipes in it… Maybe I can find something to go along with this one too! I’m planning to make it next weekend – and I’ll come share pics with you after we do, and let you know how it tastes…. Mmmm.

Brave Premiers June 22, 2012

Seriously, how funny was that, right?? – “Brave” follows the heroic journey of Merida – she’s the kings daughter, a skilled archer, and totally independent princess. She’s determined to carve her own path in life – as all bright young ladies should! – and so she totally defies customs and traditions, which of course make some of the ruling powers quite angry. Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. {Isn’t that case with all wishes?? Lol.} The ensuing peril means that Merida has to muster all of her skills and resources, enlist the help of her triplet brothers, {who are clever, yet mischievous, as all brothers are..} and find out just how brave she really is. I love that this story features a girl fighting battles and being brave – awesome role model for little girls to see!

Can’t Wait for the Movie?

If you’re as excited as I am about a new film featuring a strong and independent little girl doing battle with the powers that be – then you’re in luck! I found a few cool things you can get now, and get a taste of the movie before it’s released next month:

  • You can get Brave for the Wii, XBox, Playstation, or Nintendo DS. I ordered this for our Wii – I can’t wait to check it out! Abby likes to try to play with the boys, and I love having a GIRL hero for her to see on the screen!
  • Grab The Brave Soundtrack – you know the songs will be good. Anything from Disney and Pixar is always pretty awesome, and I expect to find a few songs on here that become our new dinner-time dance party favorites. {What? Doesn’t everyone have dinner-time dance parties?}
  • Get some of the kids books – Big Bear, Little Bear is only $3.99, and is perfect for beginning readers. Or get Merida’s Wish for girls 6-9. Or you could even pre-order a copy of The Art of Brave, filled with gorgeous film scenes, for you to enjoy!

Ariel left the ocean, it was too current – Disney Hipster Humor

If Hipsters Ran Disney…

My brother is a bit of a Hipster. He has a beard. Rides a motorcycle. Plays guitar in a band. Wears a lot of black hoodies. Burns his tongue when he drinks coffee, because he has to drink it before it’s cool…. {Hahaha, get it? Lame joke that cracks me up every time.} So a little Hipster-humor always entertains me.

What is a hipster?

You might not know about this breed of cool cat. If so, I totally understand. Kids change so fast these days. My Mister is still confused by the whole “Emo” phase, and calls them Ewoks. {That also cracks me up every time.} According to The Hipster Handbook, “The Hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not a part of them and shuns or reduces to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream. A Hipster ideally possesses no more than 2% body fat.” So now you know what a Hipster is. And knowing is half the battle….. :)
