Pete’s Dragon Movie Review

August 15, 2016 By Anne

Reviewed by Lori Aliprando, Contributor writer

I took my 10 year old son to see Pete’s Dragon last week. I was expecting the Pete’s Dragon from Walt Disney when I was growing up. In this movie they stayed with the same storyline as the original. The movie had some exciting moments but it also had quite a few sad scenes. I asked my son how he felt about the movie and he said, “I cried twice. It was a good movie but it was sad.”

So for my review I would say it was good movie. It was a movie for children but it is an emotional movie. As an adult I was teary eyed myself. I would say it’s for children but bring some tissues you’re going to see some tears.

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliot. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliot seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.

Your Daughter will Sparkle and Shine with Townley Girl Products #TownleyGirl

July 25, 2016 By Marijean

My daughter just turned 8 years old this week. She loves style and loves anything girly girl. She especially loves playing and experimenting with makeup and nail polish. I was excited to review some items from Townleygirl.com. Their products are non-toxic and animal cruelty free and have a variety of cute characters my daughter loves.

Here is some information about the company and products:

Founded in 1952, Townleygirl is the leader in children’s cosmetics and hair accessories. Partnering with top-notch brands like Disney, Universal and DreamWorks, we not only create great products, but also some of the safest ones on the market. With products like sheer lip gloss and peelable nail polish, kids will have a fantastic time dressing up as their favorite characters, and parents will have an easy clean up when they are all done.

Townleygirl’s mission is to design and distribute safe, fun and high quality branded beauty products at affordable prices for children and preteen markets. We strive to be the category leader for both markets; offering relevant, compelling, and innovative beauty products that inspire imagination.

Townleygirl’s safe nail polish is ideal for children ages three years and older. The polish does not contain toluene or acetates, using water as a base instead. When applied, the water vapor is released in the air, with no chemical fumes. This non-toxic polish is not only 100% child friendly and fun, but also mom-approved.

I received 4 sets of hair accessories and nail polish/chapstick to review with my daughter. She is really loving Finding Dory right now, so she was excited to get two sets of Finding Dory accessories. The other two sets are Frozen hair bows and a Trolls nail polish set.

My daughter’s eyes lit up and she was so excited to try out the nail polish. She immediately grabbed the Finding Dory Cosmetic set to try out first. She loves the carry case it comes with, it has really cool sparkly confetti all throughout it! She loves the glittery bows the set came with too.

We are looking forward to seeing the new movie Trolls, so receiving the set which is Troll themed was very cool. My daughter loves the little gems that come with the set to put on her nails.

The Frozen bow set was a big hit as well. My daughter loves to wear bows in her hair, these are very sparkly and include different colors, styles and sizes. Any Frozen fan would love this set.

The 2nd Finding Dory set includes Pastel type color polishes and also a cute carry tin. This is perfect for travel. She loves keeping her nail polish in this tin.

My daughter tried a nail polish in each set, she was able to polish her nails herself, and the polish does coat better than some kids polishes we have tried and dries quick.

If you need a gift to give to that special little girl in your life, I definitely recommend checking out Townleygirl. They have a large variety of characters to choose from and any little girl will love to sparkle and shine with Townleygirl.
