Togo - Official Trailer

Beware of films featuring dogs. Most dog movies will leave you in tears by the time they end. Set in 1925, Togo tells the true story of Norwegian sled dog trainer Leonhard Seppala (Willem Dafoe) and his undersized Siberian husky. When a deadly epidemic strikes the town of Nome, Alaska, it falls to Leonhard and his furry friend to risk their lives and make the run to retrieve the cure, hundreds of miles away.

Over the years, dog movies have evolved. The good thing is that unlike in the majority of Disney's recent films, Togo is a real animal rather than a creation emerged directly from a hard drive. Streaming on Disney+ December 20, 2019.

A story about a duck who likes being different

The hilarious "Duckie Duck" by Kate Toms is one of my recommendations for kids learning to read. My son got this book from his aunt in Calgary a few years ago and since then has become one of his favorites. First of all, this is not your average duck tale. This is a story about a fowl who, candidly, seems to have missed the memo on duck protocol. Most ducks quack, but Duckie whistles. Others love to swim, but not him — Duckie likes boat rides. While other water birds fly, he enjoys floating inside a hot air balloon. The rhyming text and delightful hand-stitched illustrations make the book visually appealing to children. So, if you're looking for a book to teach your quirky little kids to read, "Duckie Duck" is just perfect.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Bats, Cats, and Dancing Skeletons

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.
