Available on DVD October 15
The approach of Halloween means that the weather is getting
cooler and it’s the perfect time of year for family movie nights on the couch
at home. All of the scary movies being shown on TV aren’t exactly family
friendly, so as a parent you may be finding it difficult to come up with things
to watch with your little ones. Luckily for you, DreamWorks is releasing three
fantastic films on DVD this month! Below, you can find out more about the
characters to be watching in these family-friendly titles this Halloween.
Shrek the Musical
The greatest fairy
tale never told comes to life as never before in DreamWorks’ Shrek The Musical,
the highly acclaimed Broadway production based on the smash-hit movie. Called a
“triumph of comic imagination” (Elysa Gardner, USA Today) that
“never stints on spectacle or laughs” (David Rooney, Variety), Shrek The Musical
received eight 2009 Tony Award® nominations
including Best Musical, winning Best Costume Design of a Musical (Tim Hatley)
and received a Grammy Award® nomination for Best Musical Show Album.
Shrek
Shrek may
not want to welcome visitors to his home in the swamp, but this big green ogre
would make a fun guest in your home this Halloween! Although he puts up a tough
front, Shrek has a soft spot in his heart for those he cares about, especially
Donkey and Fiona. This goofy guy brings
the laughs with his Scottish-Irish accent and one-liners! He’s also great for
scaring off enemies with his stinky breath, huge size, and frightening yell.
Monsters vs. Aliens: Cloning Around
Get
ready for a world of hilarious monster mischief and alien antics in this
all-new animated TV series inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s ginormous hit
movie Monsters vs. Aliens.
Join team leader Susan, muscle-bound Link, ingenious Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D., and
B.O.B., the gelatinous blob, as the residents of the government containment
area embark on fun-filled adventures under the not-too-watchful eye of General
Monger!
B.O.B
B.O.B.,
short for Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate, got his name when he was
accidentally created in a laboratory from some scientists experimenting with
chemically- and genetically-altered food products. This one-eyed blue blob was
held in captivity in Area Fifty-Something for decades, but he still has a
friendly personality and contagious smile. Since B.O.B is a large gelatinous
mass, he can change his shape easily and absorb any object. Although he has no
brain, B.O.B. is quite intelligent! This big, blue blob is exactly the person
you want by your side on a creepy Halloween night.
Dr.
Cockroach, Ph.D.
An
intellectual mad scientist, Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. is known for bursting into
psychotic laughter while completing his experiments. But, don’t be fooled. Dr.
Cockroach has not always been this way. In the 60’s he developed a device that
would allow humans to live a lifespan similar to that of a cockroach. When his
creation went wrong, Dr. Cockroach came away with the head of a bug and the
ability to climb walls and digest garbage just like cockroaches. His
intelligence and lifespan make him a force to be reckoned with!
Kung Fu Panda: Scorpion Sting
Get
ready for more high-kicking action and fur-flying fun in this awesome animated
TV series based on the Academy Award®-Nominated hit movieKung Fu Panda*! He may not be your
typical warrior, but Po packs an arsenal of martial arts skills as big as his
heart...and his stomach. Always ready to fight for what’s right, Po and the
Furious Five—Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Crane and Viper—face exotic dangers at
every turn, including a pair of magic shoes with an evil “sole,” and Scorpion,
one of the sharpest villains in all the land!
Po
The
courageous dragon warrior, Po Ping, is always up for a new adventure. Although
Po is not your typical Kung Fu warrior, he uses his personality and his
strengths to solve problems and protect those who need him most. He has an
excitement for life and is determined to be the best warrior that he can
possibly be. Sometime Po can be a little immature and rambunctious, but he has
a kind heart and knows the importance of family.
Tigress
A vital
member to the Furious Five, Tigress has unmatchable strength and bravery. She is a master at Kung Fu and at one point
was considered to be destined for the title of Dragon Warrior. Although her
short temper can still appear sometimes, Tigress has learned to be more friendly
and calm. At times she is quiet and less sociable than the other members of the
Furious Five. Overall, she possesses a strength and dignity that makes others
admire her.
