No matter how much outdoor fun you want your kids to have this summer, the truth is there will be days that you don’t make it out of the house due to weather, viruses, or just plain laziness! The past few days in NYC have threatened thunderstorms which kept indoors, although it has not actually rained yet. I didn’t want to take the chance of getting caught in the rain with the girls, so we’ve been enjoying some family fun indoor time with games, crafts, and movies. My toddler’s favorite at the moment is Lilo & Stitch, which has just been released on a DVD/BluRay 3 Disc Special Edition 2 movie collection! She loves the music and the characters so much, she has been asking for her fourth birthday party to be a Hawaiian theme!
“Lilo and Stitch” is the story of Lilo, a lonely little girl, and Stitch the mischievous little creature from outer space. When Stitch crash-lands in Hawaii, Lilo adopts him as her pet, but he soon turns her world upside down. Stitch takes Hawaii by storm, wreaking havoc and hanging ten while he evades the alien bounty hunters who are after him, and also learning about loyalty and friendship. Featuring six original Elvis Presley songs, “Lilo and Stitch” is fun for the entire family.
The laughter continues in the hysterical sequel “Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch.” As Stitch settles into life with his human family it appears his molecular makeup is out of whack and his friendship with Lilo is threatened as a result. Lilo and her friends must find a way to restore his “goodness” level before he ruins everything, including Lilo’s big hula competition – the same competition her mother won years before.
Another Disney favorite keeping us entertained while indoors is the 3 disc special edition DVD/Bluray of The Emperor’s New Groove and Kronk’s New Groove.
The fun begins with “The Emperor’s New Groove,” featuring an all-star cast and Academy Award®-nominated music by Sting (Best Music, Original Song, Sting, 2000). When the young and spoiled Emperor Kuzco (voice of David Spade) is transformed into a llama by his sinister advisor Yzma (voice of Eartha Kitt) and her henchman Kronk (voice of Patrick Warburton), it takes a thoughtful peasant named Pasha (voice of John Goodman) to restore the kingdom and show Kuzco just how much fun it is to be true to yourself.
Then audiences can continue the fun with “Kronk’s New Groove.” The outrageous sequel stars Yzma’s hilarious henchman Kronk in a riotous adventure that’s filled with hysterical mayhem and mishaps. Kronk cooks up a get-rich quick scheme to impress his Dad. But when things go wrong, Kronk kicks into comical high gear and discovers that the true riches in life are his friends and being “true to your groove.”
You can order both movies through Amazon and have them shipped just in time for some rainy day fun!
We love having movie days in the afternoon when it is just too hot to play outside.
Lilo and Stitch is my daughter’s favorite movie. She had a Stitch obsession when she was 7/8 years old. She still keeps her stuffed Stitch on her bed and she’s 17 now…I’m pretty sure he’ll be making his way to college with her 🙂
We love those movies and love that they are on BluRay!
We love Disney here, even though my daughter is older we still watch our Disney movies.
I’ve been borrowing movies from friends to keep the kids entertained.
I’ve never seen any of these yet but we are huge fans of the older ones
I love Lilo and Stitch! I’m going to have to break out my copy and watch it with the Little.
we just got Lilo and Stitch.
My son is terrified of Stitch because of a ride at Disney. I need to get the movie so he can change his mind.
Disney movies are my favorite!
We have lazy movie days quite a but during the summer, especially after a whole day out in the sun.
Sorry about the typo, that’s quite a bit.
We love lazy movie days – it’s going to be 117 this weekend I imagine we will be doing that here!
Disney definitely has some great movies! I love Brave it is my favorite.

I remember when Lilo and Stitch came out — it was my little sister’s favorite!!!!!

My son loves Lilo & Stitch but hasn’t seen #2, we’ll have to pick it up!
These look great and like perfect additions to any Disney movie collection.
Even though I no longer have small kids, I find myself enjoying Disney movies all by myself. 🙂
I haven’t seen a few of those. What a fun way to spend a rainy or miserably hot day.
I do not think my son has seen Lilo and Stitch yet. We need to get it!
I loved Lilo and Stitch. My daughter’s favorite part of the movie was when Stitch was reading the “Ugly Duckling”. She made me go out and buy her the book.
