BOOK REVIEW - #Frozen: The Poster Collection

About a year ago, I was given the opportunity to go to Los Angeles to go behind the scenes of the blockbuster Disney animated film Frozen. I got to meet the directors, play in the rigging lab, even voice Olaf! It was an experience I'll never forget, and it forever made Frozen hold a very special place in my heart.



When Insight Editions contacted me to check our their new book Frozen: The Poster Collection, I couldn't resist.



The book is large and absolutely gorgeous. Each poster is double sided and printed on thick, high quality paper. The images included feature memorable scenes from the film, popular characters, and--my favorite part--foreign market versions of the film posters.



The images are stunningly high quality and show details you may have missed in the theatre or at home on your television. My camera couldn't do them justice, but I was most impressed by the fact that you can see the woolen texture of Anna's skirt! Just incredible!




 The book retails for $24.99 and is available wherever books are sold, including Amazon, linked below!





Disclosure: I received a free copy of the book for review purposes. For more information, please see my Disclosure tab.

TV Boy Reviews: Simpsons skin pack for #Minecraft

Since TV Boy is starting to be more active in things he enjoys, when this opportunity came through my email, I was excited to share it with him:




Minecraft players can bring their favorite characters from The Simpsons to life in The Simpsons Skin Pack, the newest downloadable content for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, available for $2.99 USD.


Create your own blocky version of Springfield with the entire Simpsons family—Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie— plus 19 of Springfield Elementary School’s beloved characters from the Emmy Award-winning animated show and the longest-running scripted show in television history.

Simpsons fans now have the opportunity to bring their favorite Springfield residents into the world of Minecraft. Some have taken it to the extreme, building entire sequences using the characters shortly after their release.



Since I don't really know how to Minecraft (is it even a verb?), I deferred to the expert in our household for this review. He was super excited to do it. So, here is TV Boy's video review of the Simpsons Minecraft Skin Pack! 




Disclosure: We were provided a free redemption code in order to review this project. For more information, please see my Disclosures tab.
