SB Finds : Movies, TV & Music

  My bilingual 19 month-old daughter has two new favorite words. She went from only saying “Hi” to “Hola Hello” after listening to Mariana Iranzi’s new album. “Hola Hello” is the album’s title and the name of its catchy single. I loved it because it is not only bilingual but also multicultural. Her songs, besides being in Spanish and English, also touch cultural aspects such as Latin American rhymes like “Los Pollitos,” and English classics that she has made herRead More ...

Camila has decided she also wants to be a blogger. We’ve agreed that she can help me review movies, books, toys and such. Of course, I want her to do the videos in Spanish, but she feels more at ease in English (sigh…). We watched Dreamwork’s newly release family movie a few weeks ago and both her and her prima who was visiting from El Salvador laughed out loud the whole time. This was great to see since my girlRead More ...

Disney’s new animated film “PLANES” is landing into theaters on August 9th, but SpanglishBaby readers get a first look at a behind the scenes making of the world above “Cars.” Disney invited us into their DisneyToon Studios for a full day of learning and to experience how our favorite films are made. We also got to preview the movie, which will surely be a family favorite! It was definitely one of mine. Not to worry, complete review will be comingRead More ...

When I read the premise of Dreamwork’s new family movie, Delivery Man, I kinda rolled my eyes because it just sounded so ridiculous. Doesn’t a story starring Vince Vaughn as an unlikely father of 533 children he helped conceive through anonymous donations to a fertility clinic 20 years ago sound just a bit too far out there? It definitely is. But then I gave the trailer a chance and guess what happened? I laughed…and laughed…y me reí un poco más. Now I’mRead More ...

Gru is now father to Margo, Edith and Agnes. But just as Gru was getting used to his new life he gets a surprise visit. Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig), an agent for a secret organization dedicated to fighting evil, attempts to recruit Gru to help catch a mysterious villain whose identity they dontRead More ...

It is officially summer and it also marks the release of Disney Pixar’s newest family film, Monsters University. The prequel of the adored Monsters, Inc., Monsters University takes you back to when Mike and Sully were college rivals. As a SpanglishBaby contributor, I had the privilege to attend the Monsters University Hollywood premiere on behalf of our SB familia. Tail gating on Hollywood Boulevard with many of Los Angeles’s celebrities and their families was quite the experience, but having theRead More ...

We’re one day away from la celebración del día del padre so we want to share with you this video of a loving song performed by singer/songwriter Mariana Iranzi. Mariana, who’s newest album of bilingual (English/Spanish) songs for kids Hola Hello is a must-have for your kid’s music library, wanted SpanglishBaby amigos to have a first peek at her “Father’s Day! Feliz Dia del Padre!” video. We hope all the papás in your families love it too!   ...
