Peanuts by Schulz: Snoopy Tales DVD

When we have our movie nights or even those rainy days where we are all stuck indoors, I like to seek out some of those favorite movies and television shows for us to enjoy. Like many, I grew up with not only those Sunday comic strips with the Peanuts gang on them, but I can also remember watching some of the shows that would air as well. And when the Peanuts series aired this past year, my kids and I found ourselves excited to add a new show to watch together. So when we were sent the DVD set, Peanuts by Shulz: Snoopy Tales to watch, we were excited to add it to our collection and also add it to our list of family movie night and rainy day favorites!



In this fun collection you get that adorable beagle as he goes about his daily life in a way like no other dog I know! The collection is filled with 32 shorts, which my kids adore and find that they like to watch and laugh at over and over again. The episodes include the following:

32 Episodes:

Disney's Queen of Katwe on Blu-Ray


When it comes to spending time with my family and taking the time to spend quality time with each of my kids separately, I find that along with a girls day out my daughter and I also enjoy finding books and movies to watch together. I have found that when it comes to both the books and movies that I enjoy sharing with my daughter, that I like to seek out the stories that have a strong woman role. So when we were sent the movie, Disney's Queen of Katwe on Blu-Ray to review, we both found that we were excited to watch it together as well as share our review with our readers.



See, I find that I like to seek out those strong women characters to share with my daughter to show her and also encourage her when it comes to reaching for the stars. And in this movie, you get a very inspirational story that is based on the true story of a young girl (Madina Nalwanga) from the streets of Uganda whose world changes when she is introduced to the game of chess. This game changes the young ladies life forever, and with the support of her family and community, she finds that she can beat the odds that are stacked up against her and live her dream of being a international chess champion! Along with this amazing movie you get some great extras when you pick up the Blu-Ray copy which include audio commentary, a behind the scene's look at the recording of the song by Alicia Keys, and some fun deleted scenes that include:

  • Graduation – Robert is alone at his graduation.
  • Job Application - Robert checks in on the status of his job application.
  • Dancing and Rent - Phiona joins in dancing with local girls before the landlady pulls her away.
  • Entering the Hospital - Harriet tries to look presentable as they rush Brian to the hospital.
  • Escape from the Hospital – The family sneaks out of the hospital.
  • They Can’t Go to Budo – Robert second-guesses taking the kids to the competition at King’s College Budo. 
  • Flood (Extended Scene) – A nearly 7-minute scene before, during and after the house is flooded.
  • Phiona’s Chess Club - Phiona comes full circle as she teaches a little boy the same lessons Robert taught her in chess club.


Then when it comes to sharing this as a family movie night feature, we found that aside from my daughter and I enjoying the movie together that we were also able to enjoy this movie along with the rest of the family! Which in all, brings us a movie that is perfect for the movie times I share with my daughter and even the rest of my family on our family movie nights, and you can enjoy this movie too when you head out today to bring home your copy of Disney's Queen of Katwe!
