Based on one of the top-selling children’s books of all time, The Littlest Angel is a new film based on the classic story by Charles Tazewell, first published in 1946. A small angel cannot quite seem to fit in until a wise older angel realizes that the little soul will not be able to feel at home in Heaven until he can retrieve his precious box of treasures. So he returns to earth with his dog, Halo, just as Jesus is about to be born. Although he worries that it is not important enough to give to Mary’s new baby, he learns that the humblest gift becomes meaningful if given with a full heart.

Little Drummer Boy

The wonderful folks at Veggie Tales have a new DVD for the holidays, Little Drummer Boy, based on the classic Christmas carol. In this version, Junior Asparagus hears the story of a little boy whose heart was filled with bitterness and anger when his home was destroyed until the birth of Jesus inspired him to find hope and forgiveness. They have their own Veggie twist on the story with some gentle silly humor, of course, plus Bebe and Cece Winans on the soundtrack.

I have a copy to give away PLUS a special drummer boy surprise. Send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with “Drummer” in the subject line and don’t forget your address! I will pick a winner on November 26. Good luck!

More Disney/Pixar Classics Coming to Theaters in 3D

Posted on October 4, 2011 at 8:00 pm

The success of “Lion King 3D” has led Disney/Pixar to move forward with theatrical 3D releases for some of its other family favorites. Look for Beauty and the Beast in 3D, finally, in theaters January 13th, 2012. My favorite Pixar film, Finding Nemo, will be out on September 14th, 2012, and Pixar’s Monsters Inc. in theaters on January 18th, 2013, which is just 6 months before the release of the forthcoming prequel “Monsters University,” that summer. And The Little Mermaid is also getting a 3D release on September 13th, 2013.

Is there a Disney classic you’d like to see in 3D?
