April Showers Bring Kid DVDs and Toys
Blogged under DVDs, New items, Toys and Games by Michele Chan Santos on Thursday 17 April 2008

New DVD releases of Lady and the Tramp, The Bee Movie and Alvin and the Chipmunks make April a movie month for preschoolers and young elementary students. If any of these is a particular lady-and-tramp-snowglobe-disneyshoppinggocom.jpgfavorite of your child, there are many tie-in toys and products available too. In honor of  the film’s 50th anniversary, Disney released a digitally restored version of Lady and the Tramp. The voices of Peggy Lee and Barbara Luddy enhance the story of Lady, a cocker spaniel in a wealthy household, and her romance with Tramp, a witty stray dog. Amazon sells the DVD for $14. This film is most famous for its spaghetti-eating scene, where the two dogs share a winsome plate of pasta with Bella Notte playing in the background. Disneyshopping.com has many products related to this film, including the Lady and the Tramp snowglobe, $60, and the movie album, $7, which includes three songs from the film. The Lenox china figurine of Lady and the Tramp is $95. The Bee Movie, starring the voices of Jerry Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger and Chris Rock, tells the story of a bee named Barry B. Benson. In the movie, Barry sues humans for taking bees’ honey for centuries, and eventually learns the value of the bee work ethic. The DVD is $15 from Amazon. ToysRUs.com sells various Bee Movie toys, including Cuddly Buzzin’ Barry, $10. This stuffed version makes buzzing noises when you squeeze him. Talk Walk and Flutterin’ Barry, $20, moves his wings and talks. The Barry B. Benson radio-controlled flying bee, $50, can zip around the room. The new Alvin and The Chipmunks DVD is $30 and stars Jason Lee as Dave, the songwriter who adopts the chipmunks, and Justin Long as the voice of Alvin. The computer-animated chipmunks interact with live-action humans in this movie, singing and dancing about the holidays as they learn the value of family. You can buy a Chipmunk Hula Hoop Singing Doll from Toywuala.com for $12.89.
