However, we have awhile (sometime in June, so I heard) before we get to see Edward, Jacob and Bella, so for now, we have to settle for these 5 new movies coming out this Thanksgiving:

The Princess and the Frog

** Director:** Ron Clements, John Musker
** Genre:** Animated, Family, Romance
** Cast: **Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Keith David
** Summary: **This is a Walt Disney Animation and is worth seeing with the little ones. It marks the Disney’s return of a hand drawn animation. This is an unforgettable tale of love, discovery and enchantment. There is a playing alligator, a Cajun firefly who is love sick and a wide array of other charming characters.

If you noticed, each week, when I write the blogs I try to give you at least one good move to go see with the children. I am a firm believer in spending time with the children and letting them enjoy going to the movies as well. If you have children, then The Princess and the Frog will be a great laugh.

Other than that, what movies are theater worthy according to you? Have your children been bothering you to see The Princess and the Frog?

I'm waiting to watch Old Dogs. Travolta is one of my fav actors and it's nice seeing him laugh, knowing what problems he's into at the moment! :S

I am very interested to watch The Road...I hope they do the book justice.

PS the little girl in Old Dogs is John Travolta and Kelly Preston's daughter...she's so cute!

Hey Olga I agree about Old Dogs and lol at the Seth Green scene with the gorilla! I love these posts about the movies Melanie. We just watched the new Star Trek movie on dvd...great movie if anyone hasnt seen it.

I didn't watch any of these movies before, so this will be a good opportunity even though I don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

I would really like to see The Old Dogs - the trailer is very cute and funny! Especially that gorilla moment... Hehe
