I thought I might share a great educational video that teaches kids where all the goodies in their Easter baskets came from. Thanks to Hilary from Santa Rosa, CA for the tip!

Have a great weekend!

I promised that I’d keep you posted on Dana Glazer’s upcoming documentary “The Evolution of Dad” and I’m excited to report that the premiere is this Father’s Day, 2010! The film in their words:

“The Evolution of Dad is a thought-provoking documentary about what it means to be an involved, contemporary American father. Following the personal journey of filmmaker and dad, Dana H. Glazer, the film explores how fatherhood has evolved over time, what its impact has been on family and society; and lastly, how fatherhood will likely continue to evolve.“

I ran into an excellent video essay by Katherine Center about motherhood and thought you might enjoy it as much as I did. She created the piece for this year’s Mom 2.0 Summit in Houston, which I hope to attend in 2011 because it looks like a fun collection of bloggers,

brands, and parents.

To learn more about next year’s event, visit them at www.mom2summit.com or follow the Mom 2.0 crew on twitter.

Basing movies on successful toys seems to be the trend these days (Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc), but would you believe that Warner Brothers has a movie in development staring Lego building blocks? Plot details haven’t yet been released (image above is not from the movie), but the Lego movie has been in development for more than a year

according to a recent piece in Variety.

I can’t imagine a Lego movie really captivating audiences, but I suppose there are quite a few characters and themes to choose from in the Lego Universe…you never know. What do you think parents? Will your kids be excited to see a Lego movie?

The movie UP by Disney-Pixar was a huge hit bringing in over $68 million at the box office this weekend. It’s a family-friendly story about 78 year-old balloon salesman Carl, a young boy, and their adventure in a flying house. I haven’t seen it yet, but it appears to be the most visually impressive Pixar film so far (based on trailers) and it was directed by by Pete

Docter (Monsters, Inc) which is a great sign!

UP is already receiving amazing reviews from film critics, but I’d prefer to know what you and your family thought about it. Some are already calling UP an “instant classic”, do you agree? Click on the comments bubble above to share your UP review with your favorite moose M.D.!

Are you as excited as I am about the movies coming out this summer? I’m not sure which movie I’m looking forward to the most, but Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Price is certainly in my top three. It hits the big screen in only 8 weeks (July 15th), so you better finish the book if you haven’t already!

Click on the comment button above to let me know what your family is looking forward to the most this summer. You never know…free tickets to the movie with the most votes just might become a future Dear Dr.MOZ baby blog giveaway.

Super fans may be a little disappointed to hear that the movie deviates from the plot quite a bit, but it’s a fun story and the animation looks great! Did I mention it will be in 3D? See more at Sony’s Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs website.
