My tie for favorite animated movies last year was definitely between Toy Story 3 and Tangled.  I knew TS 3 was going to be good, but I was so pleasantly surprised that Tangled was as good as it is, and that Disney’s version of Rapunzel is a strong, willful and beautiful princess with 70-foot hair to tout.

While my almost 5-year-old daughter no longer has patience for the simple stories usually told onRead More ...

I am going totally retro with the Video of the Week today! In the late 70´s, early 80´s I had my very first fan-moment with the famous duo from Spain–Enrique y Ana.  My mom actually took me to the hotel where they stayed when the gave a concert in El Salvador.
