We got Lucifer: The Sixth & Final Season  dvd free in exchange for an honest post.  All opinions are our own

I was so excited when season 6 came I was already doing a marathon when of course my smart Tv stopped working so back to dvds for me for awhile and then bam the new dvd showed up and we were able to finish.

Lucifer is a fun loving detective show that our family loves.  We have been watching for years and was so sad to see the show come to an end, but ohh what a great end.  The Lucifer charter is so funny and really gives you a whole other side of the devil to look at.  Chloe and Linda are great and both truly a good influence on Lucifer and its so fun to see them interact with the devil.  The whole series is so worth picking up and makes a great show to watch with your other.

I love how we get to see the love grow and their family’s come together.

tabbyspantry

We got to preview Gymnastics Academy: A Second Chance and we loved it .

Its funny before I saw Gymnastics Academy: A Second Chance  I thought I had seen all the gymnastics movies and shows there was.  When I first started watching it I realized there were 2 movies before that I had missed.  No worries though all.  You can still watch this show and it will not ruin anything for you.

Also they have the first 2 A second chance movies on Netflix.  So when I was done I went back and watched them both and the whole series is amazing.

 

In Gymnastics Academy: A Second Chance  you follow a girl who has a dream of becoming great.  She gets hurt and looses all her chances until one gymnastics academy gives her a chance to win a spot and she will have to put everything she has into it to become the best and win a spot.

This show will cover a lot of issues that would be hard for ny kid

To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

YOUNG SHELDON:

THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON

Contains All 22 Hilarious Episodes from the Fifth Season,

Plus All New Bonus Content

Available on DVD September 6, 2022

  I have been waiting 4 seasons for our Big Bang Spoilers to come about.  We of course have seen a few in the previous years.  This season though we start to see the big ones and I am hooked.

BURBANK, CA (July 12, 2022) – Just in time for the sixth season premiere, catch up with the iconic quirks of TV’s beloved Sheldon Cooper, and his latest childhood adventures, as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releases Young Sheldon: The Complete Fifth Season on DVD September 6, 2022. Laugh along with all 22, 30-minute, episodes from the outrageous fifth season, as well as all-new bonus content going behind the scenes of the series 100th episode. Young Sheldon: The Complete Fifth Season is priced to own at $19.99 SRP for the DVD ($24.99 in Canada) and will also be available on Blu-ray courtesy of Warner Archive Collection. Warner Archive Blu-ray releases are easily found at www.warnerarchive.com and on your favorite online retailer sites.

For young Sheldon Cooper, being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn’t always helpful in East Texas. And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him. His father struggles as a high school football coach and father to a boy he doesn’t understand. Sheldon’s mother fiercely protects her son who just doesn’t fit in. Sheldon’s older brother does the best he can in high school, but his younger brother is already in college. Sheldon’s twin sister remains the one person who can reliably tell Sheldon the truth. And his beloved Meemaw, his Texas grandmother who supports him and his gifts. For over a decade, Big Bang Theory audiences came to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. Now they join him as he embarks on his innocent, awkward journey toward the man he will become.

Created and Executive Produced by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon is also executive produced and narrated by Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory. Steve Holland and Todd Spiewak also executive produce. The star cast features Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies), Zoe Perry (The Family, Private Practice), Lance Barber (The Comeback), Montana Jordan (The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter), and Raegan Revord (Modern Family) with Annie Potts (Designing Women, Love & War) and Jim Parsons.

Featuring an all-star voice cast, including Robin Williams, Christian Slater, Samantha Mathis, Tim Curry, Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, and Tone Loc, FernGully: The Last Rainforest is an iconic classic for kids of all ages, presented here in a special 2-Disc, 30th Anniversary Edition.

Based on the series of books by Australian author Diana Young, and directed by Bill Kroyer (Honey, I Shrunk The Kids), FernGully was a labor of love. The filmmakers used what was then brand-new special effects technology for penetrating layers of backgrounds, and to generate the beginning stages of drawings which were then completed by hand. 150,000 cels were created for FernGully, a total of 38 miles of artwork if they were laid end-to-end. Although many steps were computer assisted, every shot was primarily painted and animated by hand.

The key creative team spent time in the Australian rainforest to view first-hand one of the richest natural environments on earth, and drew inspiration from the multi-hued colors of the forest and exotic wildlife. As a result, FernGully is extraordinary in its attention to detail.

FernGully’s ecological message about the importance of the world’s rainforests had a strong impact on viewers 30 years ago. That message is timelier than ever in 2022, and the film continues to find new generations of fans.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest:

Crysta (Samantha Mathis) is a fairy who lives in FernGully, a rainforest in Australia, and has never seen a human before. In fact, she is told they are extinct. But when a logging company comes near the rainforest, she sees that they do exist, and even accidentally shrinks one of them: a boy named Zak (Jonathan Ward). Now her size, Zak sees the damage that the company does and helps Crysta to stop not only them, but an evil entity named Hexxus (Tim Curry), who feeds off pollution.
