If I could, I would spend much of my day in front of a movie or TV screen. Some days I walk around with my tablet or laptop watching something as I cook, clean or even batch work. I told you before that 2017 was the year I was going to incorporate some of my #geek on you.
That brings me to Disney. They typically bring it each year, but 2017 looks like a tsunami of AWESOME when it comes to family and kid fare. I can’t wait! Let’s see what is in store, shall we?
First up- Beauty & the Beast
My girls are so excited for this one. Arriving in theaters March 17. My oldest is beside herself that “Hermione” is playing Belle. While she was never a Disney Princess girl, Belle is her favorite because of her “love of books and her empathy towards others”. She told me this while we were in Belle’s section of Fantasyland at Disney World this fall. I got tears in my eyes when she said it.
Next- Born In China
Educational and fun for the whole family! Perfect way to bring in spring and something to do over Spring Break this year, with a April 21, 2017 debut.
Just in time for my birthday month- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
This will probably be a date night for H and I. I loved the style, music and slight insanity of the first Guardians. I hope that kick ass feeling stays put in Vol. 2. Arrival: May 5, 2017
Debuting on my ACTUAL birthday- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
In theaters on May 26, 2017. We have begun showing the older PotC flicks to the kiddos and they are eagerly awaiting this latest installment, even if the actual ride at Disney scared them. WHAT?!
So maybe a safer bet is Disney/Pixar Cars 3
Cars 3 squeals into cinemas June 16, 2017.
There is another Thor (just watch, LOVE) movie coming out in November. I don’t like to judge people but movies? All bets are off. I’m not holding my breath on this one honestly. Thor ain’t my thing but hey! November he drops the hammer down once again! Disney/Pixar reveal Coco on November 22 that I am sure will be a good fall flick.
And last but certainly not least: Star Wars VIII on December 15, 2017. We basically have a countdown calendar going from the last Star Wars and Rogue One was a nice little hit to take the edge off our Star Wars cravings. We love this franchise so much in our house that the girls are convinced that our Doberman looks like General Grievous.
