Top Picks: Cars 2 Toys from Mattel

With Disney-Pixar’s Cars 2 a smashing success, as defined by that fact our kids wanted to see it more than once in the movie theater, it was fun to watch them play with Mattel’s Lights & Sounds cars in the lobby of the movie theater after the flick. In my defense, there wasn’t a sole in the lobby and when a car made it’s way behind the popcorn counter, we did leave at that point. But they had a blast making the characters come to life. Here are some of our other Cars 2 Top Picks from Mattel:

Load two Cars into the set’s dual launchers to watch the vehicles zip toward the elevated spinning platform and whirl above the roaring river below. Only one car can claim victory while the other spins out of control and off the track. ARP: $29.99 Ages 4+

Top Ten Disney DVD Picks *Giveaway*

Tangled

One of our most recent favorites, Tangled is a delightful tale with Mandy Moore spot on as Rapunzel; our son can even mimic the Flynn Ryder smolder.

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue

Undoubtedly ever time our daughter watches this film she ends up with her wings on flying through the house. Great story line.

The Little Mermaid

This happens to be the current favorite in our house. My younger sister and daughter...two generations of Ariel lovers. Music in this is top-notch.

Beauty and the Beast

This Blu-ray combo pack is filled with extras for Belle lovers. A "Movie Monday" favorite, the soundtrack is as enjoyable each time we hear it.

Aladdin

The Platinum Edition marked Aladdin's first time on DVD. We're lucky enough to own a this classic Disney favorite. Get out your magic carpets!

The Lion King

When the Diamond Edition is released October 2011, we'll be the first in line since this was my personal favorite before Princess and the Frog.

Princess and the Frog

My personal top DIsney movie pick, Princess and the Frog felt like an instance classic with a heroine young princess hopefuls could look up to.

Disney's Cars

As we look forward to Cars 2 on June 24, 2011, reruns of the original will have to suffice. Once of the only "non-princess" hits in our house.

Finding Nemo

This was one of the first movies the kids watched in it's entirety. And after hanging with Crush at Walt Disney World, they love this classic even more!

Sleeping Beauty

Until recently being usurped by Ariel, Sleeping Beauty was our daughter's favorite princess. An oldie but goodie, Aurora and "Once Upon a Dream" is still a top pick.
