Adventures of Dally & Spanky DVD #Giveaway

This non-sponsored post contains affiliate links.

Adventures of Dally and Spanky from Sony Pictures Entertainment is coming to DVD and Digital Tuesday Sept. 10th.  It looks like a cute film for the family to watch together.

Inspired by the true animal friendship of a Jack Russell Terrier and a rescued miniature horse, the story of Dally & Spanky’s bond has captivated audiences. This sensational duo has generated millions of video views and is now the inspiration for this brand-new feature film!

Addy and Ella are teenaged half-sisters with little in common. When 17-year-old Addy loses her father, she retreats from her family and struggles to deal with his loss. Ella, with her dog Dally, reaches out to create a bond with Addy and Spanky, the miniature horse she’s just inherited from her father. Not only do the animals get along, but they quickly become a dynamic duo thanks to Addy and Ella’s training. Their act quickly goes viral and wins their high school talent show, bringing the girls closer! Unfortunately, the family realizes that the cost to keep Spanky is too high and they’ll have to send him away. But Addy gets an idea and submits their routine to a popular TV talent show. Now, it’s all or nothing…and ANYTHING can happen!

The amazing real-life dog and pony friendship that took the internet by storm becomes a feature-length film when ADVENTURES OF DALLY & SPANKY rides onto DVD and Digital September 10 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Brenna D’Amico (TV’s “Descendants”), whose father is played by country music superstar Trace Adkins, and Reylynn Caster (TV’s “American Housewife”) star as half-sisters who prove that anything is possible when their two animal companions form an unlikely bond that sends their family on an amazing, inspirational journey.   

ADVENTURES OF DALLY & SPANKY also stars Elaine Hendrix (The Parent Trap) and Denise Richards (Starship Troopers). Rated PG for brief language.

Directed by Camille Stochitch, ADVENTURES OF DALLY & SPANKY was written and produced by Tyler W. Konney with Barbara Greaves, Bobby Hillis and Stochitch as executive producers.

Giveaway:

One reader will win Adventures of Dally and Spanky on DVD

Disney's ALADDIN Live-Action and Signature Collection #Giveaway @disneyaladdin #Sponsored #DisneyAladdin

This is a sponsored post for Disney.  This post contains affiliate links.

This month Disney is releasing not one, but two ALADDIN movies!  Now you can own the original animated version as well as Disney's live-action ALADDIN  Blu-ray./DVD.  

The animated "Aladdin" is my absolute favorite.  It's hard to top Robin Williams as genie.  I wasn't sure if I would like a live-action remake.  But I was pleasantly surprised!

Disney's live-action Aladdin has a wonderful cast and a great twist on the genie story.  I grew up watching Will Smith as a teen, so it was a little weird to see "The Fresh Prince" with blue skin and a top knot.  After I got over that initial weirdness, Will Smith's genie was hilarious and fun.  Naomi Scott brought Jasmine to life in an empowered way.  Her singing voice is also pretty amazing!   {not to mention she wears gorgeous outfits}

Both my eight year old and my five year old loved the live-action version just as much as the original animated version.

Disney’s Aladdin Live-Action

Enjoy Disney’s ALADDIN, the live-action adaptation of the studio’s animated classic, in the comfort of your own home as it becomes available on Digital in HD, 4K Ultra HD™ and Movies Anywhere on August 27th, and physically on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD on September 10th! 

The release of the live-action adventure coincides with the addition of the original animated classic for the Walt Disney Signature Collection. Now you can own both movies! Cast Members include: Aladdin (Mena Massoud), Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) and Genie (Will Smith). Extras include music videos, deleted scenes and bloopers. You’ll get a first look at an all-new song “Desert Moon,” deleted from the final film, written by eight-time Academy Award® winning composer Alan Menken and Oscar®-and Tony Award®-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (The Greatest Showman, La La Land).

Features document Guy Ritchie’s joyful, easy-going approach to directing that led to movie magic; Will Smith’s fresh take on the infamous shape-shifting blue entity confined to an oil lamp; Naomi Scott’s powerful performance as the spirited princess who yearns to lead the people of Agrabah; and the indescribable feeling of playing Aladdin chronicled personally by Mena Massoud, and more.

Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter for Back to School @bestbuy @RideHover1 #ad

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. 

We went back to school this week, which means multiple visits to our neighborhood bus stop.  We live up on top of a pretty steep curving hill, which makes for a long daily trek in the mornings and afternoons.  She is wishing for an easier way to get around the neighborhood that is quick and fun. 

The Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter available at Best Buy helps your student ride in style, whether around your neighborhood or around campus.   It has a range of 16 miles before it needs a charge, and it tackles hills at angles of up to 15 degrees effortlessly, so you can ride almost anywhere. Plus it has 8.5-inch tires that can handle rough terrain without a problem and allow for greater stability.  

The Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter can hold up to 220 pounds so you don't have to worry about holding all those heavy books and supplies in your backpack. Just add a helmet and you're ready to go!

More great features of the Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter at Best Buy:

• This electric scooter has a full 16-mile battery life, a 14 MPH top speed, and a bright LED headlight for safety.
• The Hover-1 Journey folds neatly in half for easy storage.
• At 27 pounds it’s light enough to lift and stow after it gets you where you want to go.
• It has a 36V UL certified battery pack that is simple to charge with the provided easy-to-use charger.
• The Hover-1 has electronic and foot brakes that help it come to a stop safely.

All of these features make the Hover-1 Electric Folding Scooter an energy efficient way to get around the neighborhood while giving a bit of independence as my daughter gets older.  This is also perfect for my college-age son to get around campus.  It has so many great features, I think parents just might want one too!
