			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was thrilled when I heard about the premise of <em> The Kids are Alright</em>. First off, what&#8217;s to complain about a movie that stars Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo? The addition of rising star Mia Wasikowska (<em>Alice in Wonderland</em>) doesn&#8217;t hurt either. Second, the real reason I loved the movie is the idea of two lesbian moms raising two teenagers together. Of course, it&#8217;s a comedy so it&#8217;s lighthearted and probably filled with plenty of laughs once the biological father of the kids is found (they go looking for him). </p>
<p><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  alt="The Kids Are Alright Screenshot 1" src="http://www.literaryillusions.com/photos/KidsAlright2.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Focus Features is distributing this movie, which will be out at limited theaters on July 7, 2010. If this is in my area I will definitely be heading to the theater to check it out. I don&#8217;t know if it will be here, but hopefully it will. I don&#8217;t go to the movies to see many comedies, but this would be an exception. Let us know if you plan to check it out or why you&#8217;re choosing to skip this one (if you are). </p>

<p>In the meantime, here is the trailer and some screenshots for the upcoming, <em>The Kids Are Alright</em>.</p>

<p>Story:<br />
The Kids Are All Right is the heartfelt new comedy from acclaimed director Lisa Cholodenko, starring Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo. Two teenaged children (Alice in Wonderland’s Mia Wasikowska and Journey to the Center of the Earth’s Josh Hutcherson) get the notion to seek out their biological father and introduce him into the family life that their two mothers (Bening and Moore) have built for them. </p>

<p>Once the donor (Ruffalo) is found, the household will never be the same, as family ties are defined, re—defined, and re—re—defined.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Teach My offers products to set your child on the right track to learning. Christy, the momprenuer behind Teach My was nice enough to answer questions for our readers about her present and future products.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  alt="Teach My Baby Learning System" src="http://www.literaryillusions.com/photos/teachmybaby1.jpg" class="alignright" width="250" height="250" />During our Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway Season I had a chance to work with Christy, a momprenuer that created a series of education learning tools for babies and toddlers. Teach My sounds like an amazing tool, but since I have no children in this age range we opted for a giveaway. I never heard how much the winner liked the product, but I did notice that many families rely on Teach My to help their young children learn. With this in mind, I contacted Christy one more time to see what she was up to and to ask her about the products that she created.</p>
<p><strong>As a parent both the Teach My Baby and Toddler products are incredibly exciting. There is nothing that beats seeing your child learn something<br />
new when they are that young. I am sure that had something to do with the decision to create these learning systems. Could you please tell us what convinced you that you needed to create the Teach My products?</strong></p>
<p>I was at home with my 18 month old son and I wanted to teach him the basics. I went to lots of stores looking for an all-in-one solution. I<br />
didn&#8217;t find anything, so I knew there was a gap in the market! Additionally, my son began to read at the age of 3 as a direct result of the box of teaching tools I had created. Parents began to ask me how I had taught him, so I knew an all-in-one learning kit would be a big success!</p>
<p><strong>You created the first Teach My product in 2007, which led to the next product coming out in 2009. Do you have any other Teach My products in the works?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m currently in the final stages of creating Teach My Preschooler. I&#8217;m aiming for an August 2010 launch!</p>

<p><strong>It has to feel great knowing that you&#8217;re helping kids to learn new things. How has the response been from the parents that use your products? Any<br />
memorable responses you&#8217;d like to share?</strong></p>
<p>I receive wonderful e-mails from parents all of the time raving about the virtues of Teach My Toddler &#038; Teach My Baby. My favourite was a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw2T4wAscIU">Youtube<br />
video</a> uploaded by a proud parent of her 15 month old son. It is really quite amazing how much he has learned just by using Teach My Toddler!</p>
<p><strong>As a mompreneur are these the only products that you have created?</strong></p>
<p>Teach My is my first run at being an inventor and a mompreneur.</p>
<p><strong>What advice would you like to give to working mothers that want to educate their young children?</strong></p>
<p>A healthy combination of reading aloud, trips to the library, educational cd-roms, educational DVD&#8217;s and of course, Teach My Baby, Teach My Toddler<br />
and Teach My Preschooler (when it launches)!</p>
<p><strong>If you could plug the Teach My products one more time, what would you want to remind my readers?</strong></p>
<p>I have designed Teach My products to make life simpler for busy parents. I suggest just 20 minutes a day with Teach My Baby or Teach My Toddler. The<br />
kits are a great way to spend focused one-on-one time doing something educational while having fun at the same time! <a href="http://www.teachmy.com">www.teachmy.com</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[The award-winning kids news program Nick News and Linda Ellerbee are back with a new Nick News special, The Face of Courage: Kids Living with Cancer. The news program will air this documentary on January 17, 2010.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  alt="Linda Ellerbee Press Photo 1" src="http://www.li-kids.com/photos/LindaEHR.jpg" class="alignright" width="250" height="363" />Nick News has been known to tackle tough subjects that kids are dealing with, throughout the years. We recently reported on a show about kids living with physical disabilities. Now, the longtime Nick News host, Linda Ellerbee is tackling a new subject in a new Nick News special entitled The Face of Courage: Kids Living with Cancer.</p>
<p>The show will premiere on January 24, 2010. Here are the details that I received in the following press release from Nickelodeon.</p>
<p>NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2010 – Cancer. When children hear the word, what do they think? It may be scary, but today, a diagnosis of cancer is not necessarily a death sentence. Nick News with Linda Ellerbee explores the world of kids who are living with cancer on The Face of Courage: Kids Living with Cancer, premiering Sunday, Jan. 24, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. The road these kids travel is not easy; it is pitted with fear, pain and loss. But also it is a road paved with hope, strength, courage and even humor. They have been where no kid should have to go, and they have survived to share their stories – and their courage – with the rest of us.</p>
<p>“All of these kids live as if the cancer were never coming back,” says Ellerbee, an 18-year cancer survivor. “Cancer is a part of my past. That’s a fact. It&#8217;s a part of my present because I choose to speak about it, and for the same reason, it will be a part of my future. But it is not who I am. It is not who any of us is.”</p>
<p>Alexandra, 14, lost her leg to bone cancer. “I was sitting on the bed outside the operating room…and I remember just taking a pen from one of the nurses aids and writing ‘I love you’ on (my) knee…that was the last thing I basically did for my leg,” says Alexandra. Today, her cancer is in remission and she’s made friends with her new “bionic” leg. “I think that as much as cancer hurts you and harms you, in the end…all the experiences you have gone through make you stronger, so you almost go from being too weak to being stronger than you were in the first place.”</p>
<p>Diagnosed with leukemia in July 2009, Diamonisha, 12, currently is in treatment and, not surprisingly, angry, confused and hopeful, all at the same time. “The hospital is not a world for kids…you don’t wanna be in there…Sometimes it makes me feel sad cause I don’t like this cancer. Sometimes it makes me feel happy because the cancer’s going away and I’m gonna be better, and I’ll have hair, finally,” she says.</p>
<p>While in the hospital being treated for an aggressive form of leukemia, Tatyana, 11, made a video about her experience for her friends so they could understand what it was like. She has since returned to school. “I wore a hat because I didn’t want anybody to see my baldness. I was very worried that my friends were going to treat me different. Then, once I took the hat off, I realized that they were fine with it. They didn’t really care and so…if they didn’t care, why should I?”</p>

<p>Going through the first of five rounds of chemo for a tumor in his abdomen, Tyler, 10, hates the mask he must wear in public to protect himself. Tyler says, “I try to ignore everybody who stares…or whispers to somebody else. I just don’t feel normal when I wear it.” As for the cancer? “It does change my view of life…because I have learned that life is full of twists and turns now.”</p>
<p>Hector, 14, suffers from a soft tissue cancer that affected an eye socket. “They had to remove my eye or else I was going to die. So they told me to make a choice,” says Hector. A choice a kid shouldn’t have to make. Hector worried that losing an eye would make him too different from other kids, but being in a cancer ward gave him a new perspective. “It made me realize that it wasn’t only me. The world was full with kids with cancer.”</p>
<p>Lexi, who is 11 and has a slow-growing brain tumor, gets a similar feeling of camaraderie at Camp Sunshine, where every kid has cancer. Lexi says, “Everybody here knows what you’re going through and you feel like a normal kid. It&#8217;s a place where I can talk to people about my cancer life and they know what I feel like.”</p>
<p>Bryn, 14, was diagnosed with Stage Four lymphoma nearly two years ago. Today she’s in remission and participates in a support network called Teens Living with Cancer. “I think the experience of a veteran is a lot like the experience of a cancer survivor because you are coming back from a war, you’re coming back from the fight for your life basically. You start to realize that life is very fleeting and that you want to make the most of it,” says Bryn.</p>
<p>Nick News, produced by Lucky Duck Productions, is now in its 19th year and is the longest-running kids’ news show in television history. It has built its reputation on the respectful and direct way it speaks to kids about the important issues of the day. Nick News recently was honored with its first ever Edward R. Murrow Award for “Network News Documentary” for the documentary special, “Coming Home: When Parents Return from War,” marking the first-ever kids television program to receive the prestigious award. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  alt="Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure Animation Image" src="http://www.li-kids.com/photos/Dora_ChristmasCarolAdventurePic.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="450" height="558" /></p>
<p>A brand new Dora Christmas Adventure is set to premiere on Nickelodeon. DORA&#8217;S CHRISTMAS CAROL ADVENTURE will air on Sunday, December 6, 2009 at 8:00 PM EST. In the latest press release we received from Nickelodeon, the station had this to say about the brand new special.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dora and Swiper explore the past, present and future of Christmas in Nickelodeon’s new hour-long primetime TV special, Dora the Explorer: “Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure,” premiering Sunday, Dec. 6, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT).  The episode, which includes a special holiday version of the Dora the Explorer theme song recorded by the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, will encore on Nickelodeon on Monday, Dec. 7, at 9 a.m. (ET/PT) and on Nick Jr. on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. (ET).</p>
<p>In “Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure,” Swiper tries to swipe the Christmas star from Dora’s Nochebuena party and winds up on Santa’s naughty list.  Dora appeals to Santa, who says that if Swiper can learn the true sprit of Christmas, he will put him back on the nice list.  Believing Swiper can change, Dora accompanies him on a journey to the past, the present and the future to help him find four missing ornaments and discover the true meaning of Christmas.</p>
<p>“Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure” features new, original music including the special holiday version of the theme song, performed by the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, an organization providing children of all socio-economic backgrounds with a unique music education and performance program.  More than 1100 children participate annually through the chorus’ core after-school program and its satellite program in New York City schools, and its national affiliates in Erie, Pennsylvania, and Tenafly, New Jersey.</p>
<p>Nickelodeon will roll out content from “Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure” across the following platforms:</p>
<p>+ Beginning Monday, Nov. 30, Nick Jr. Video, the broadband video service available on Nickjr.com, will begin streaming a two-minute sneak peek of “Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure.”<br />
+ A two-minute sneak peek from “Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure” will be available on wireless carriers via video on demand beginning Monday, Nov. 30.<br />
+ “Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure” will be simulcast in full on Nick Mobile.<br />
+ “Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure” and two other previously aired specials – “Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom” and “Dora Saves the Snow Princess” – will be available for purchase on iTunes beginning Monday, Dec. 14.</p></blockquote>
<p>You and your child/children can check out the Nick Jr. website at <a href="http://www.nickjr.com">http://www.nickjr.com</a>. This award winning site is offering a selection of complimentary activities to coincide with the release of DORA’S CHRISTMAS CAROL ADVENTURE. These activities include a game, a riddle book and arts and crafts (Santa&#8217;s Hat, Swiper&#8217;s Christmas Card, etc.). The game on the site has Dora and Swiper delivering Christmas presents. Kids have to match present boxes with presents based on matching shapes.</p>

The CD songs can be purchased through iTunes. The advantage of purchasing the DVD is that you&#8217;ll receive six additional minutes of bonus footage that will not be aired on the TV special and two music videos. The CD is a selection of 16 holiday songs sung by Dora. These are Christmas classics with a Latin flavor to them and include: &#8220;Deck the Halls,” “Jingle Bells,” and “Santa Claus Is Coming Aquí!”</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With the release of Hannah Montana: The Movie just one day away, you can get into the Hannah Montana 'mood' with a behind the scenes look at making the movie!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s the Big Day! <em>Hannah Montana: The Movie</em> is set to be released on Blu-Ray and DVD. Here&#8217;s some behind the scenes videos, stills, movie info, and more to keep you going just one more day!</p>
<p>BEHIND THE MAGIC<br />
Step behind the camera as we bring you the low-down on Hannah Montana The Movie. We’ve got a backstage pass to the making of the fab film – and you’re invited!  </p>
<p><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  alt="Hannah Montana: The Movie Screenshot 1" src="http://www.li-kids.com/photos/195-HMC-01392.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="450" height="344" /></p>
<p>THE STORY…<br />
What’s Hannah Montana The Movie all about? “Well, my character has always had the best of both worlds – but she’ll have to choose just one in the movie,” explains Miley Cyrus. “She’s lost herself and her dad decides the best thing to do is to take her home to Tennessee. She’s taken back to the real world where she’s brought back to reality. She has to go out and get dirty, as well as ride the horse she grew up with!”</p>
<p>BOX OF DELIGHTS!<br />
“I bought some cool ideas to the movie,” admits Miley. “There’s something we call a ‘Hannah box’ in the film, which is Hannah’s make-up box. She travels around with it and it was me who came up with ideas for the fun things to put inside. I said that it shouldn’t look like a normal make-up box because Hannah has a different vibe. I think it came out really cool!”</p>

<p>STUNT HERO!<br />
Jason Earles – who plays Miley’s brother Jackson in Hannah Montana – performed all of his own stunts in the movie. “I didn’t have a stunt double,” the brave star reveals. “I did everything myself. When you see Jackson falling off the ladder, that was me harnessed up!”</p>
<p>KISSY KISSY!<br />
Miley gets to kiss a cute country boy called Travis in the movie – but the Disney star wasn’t nervous about the smooch scenes at all. “I wasn&#8217;t worried about my first movie kiss,” reveals Miley. “I don&#8217;t know… Maybe it&#8217;s because he’s so cute?!”</p>
<p>PONY UP!<br />
It took three weeks for Lucas Till to learn to ride a horse for the film. “I hadn’t ridden a horse before I worked on this movie,” chuckles Lucas. “My dad did rodeo for the University Of Georgia and always had horse stories, but I hadn’t even been on a horse before. Thankfully, it felt natural to me – and it was a lot of fun.”</p>

<p>ANIMAL MAGIC!<br />
“I shot a lot of scenes that didn’t make it into the movie, but I’m glad they made it onto the DVD,” reveals Jason Earles. “There were a few extra scenes with the animals and some other scenes with Cousin Derek – and I they’re really funny. Check them out!”</p>
<p>EXTRA EXTRA!<br />
What else does the DVD have to offer? “Well, there are bloopers and behind-the-scenes videos, as well as deleted scenes,” explains the movie’s director, Peter Chelsom. “One deleted scene sees the British reporter walking into his motel room to find an ostrich by his bed and an alligator in his shower!”</p>
<p>LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION…<br />
It took 11 weeks to shoot the movie. The cast and crew spent eight and a half weeks filming in Nashville, close to where Miley Cyrus actually grew up. The rest of the film shoot was spent on location in California at landmarks including Santa Monica Pier and Rodeo Drive.</p>
<p><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  alt="Hannah Montana: The Movie Screenshot 3" src="http://www.li-kids.com/photos/557-HMC-10107.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="450" height="705" /></p>
<p>TIME TO CHILL…<br />
The waterfall scene was tough on the actors in the movie. “It was freezing,” giggles Miley. “It was a big challenge because we had to rock climb up to the top of this cliff and then jump into the water from up high. Thankfully there were heaters nearby because the water was so cold. It was icy!”</p>
<p>THE STYLE FILES!<br />
“None of the outfits Hannah wears in the movie were brought in stores,” reveals the movie’s costume designer, Christopher Lawrence. “They were all designed and made by the costume department. We even hand-glued crystals to her sneakers for one scene. It took 13 hours per shoe!”</p>
<p>MADE TO MEASURE!<br />
It cost $70,000 to build the revolving doors seen in the movie. “The building where we were shooting didn’t have revolving doors, but I thought they would work really well in the film,” explains director, Peter Chelsom. “That’s why I decided to build them from scratch!”</p>

<p>TICKLE TIME!<br />
Emily Osment spent four hours getting her feet massaged for one of the scenes in the movie. “It was great,” chuckles Emily. “They didn’t need me in the shot because it was only my feet – but I kept saying, ‘No, I’ll do it. It’s okay.’ I really enjoyed sitting in bed getting my feet rubbed!”</p>
<p><center><!--adsense--></center></p>
<p>HIGH HEEL HORROR!<br />
“It was so much fun to shoot the shoe scene with Tyra Banks,” reveals Miley. “But the problem with that scene is the way that the shoes aren’t really very cute. I would never fight over those shoes in real life!”</p>
<p><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  alt="Hannah Montana: The Movie Screenshot 4" src="http://www.li-kids.com/photos/681_00274R.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="450" height="330" /></p>
<p>FAST FACT!<br />
It took two days to film the exploding cake scene in the movie! “I was covered in cream and sponge for hours,” giggles Moises Arias.</p>
<p>DID YOU KNOW?<br />
It took the prop team three weeks to create the pumpkin head for the scene where Jackson falls into the pumpkin patch! </p>

<p>Up is the tenth in an unprecedented streak of critical and box office triumphs for Disney•Pixar that includes four Academy Award® winners for Best Animated Feature— WALL•E (2008), Ratatouille (2007), The Incredibles (2004) and Finding Nemo (2003)— as well as Cars, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life and Toy Story. Up joined each<br />

The answer lies up in the stratosphere where the cloud Gus is a master at creating “dangerous” babies, which prove to be more than a handful for his loval delivery stork Peck. Directed by Pixar story artist, animator and voice actor Peter Sohn.<br />

filmmakers with two different problems—how could they make a physical impossibility possible? And, in the case of the dirigible, how would they unearth a fallen giant and let it soar?<br />
• Composing for Characters – Composer Michael Giacchino returns to score his third Disney•Pixar feature film. See how the Up filmmakers collaborated with Giacchino to create the memorable score and compelling musical themes.<br />
