Sukkot September 18-27 Jewish Holiday of Gratitude for Bountiful Fall Harvest

Celebrations

Yom Kippur ended Saturday night. Right now my family is putting on all the final touches so we can start celebrating the harvest and the Jewish holiday of Sukkot starting tonight. This is a week-long festival when we rejoice in nature's bounty and eat outside with friends and family in temporary structures called Sukkahs. My teens and I have been decorating our sukkah and cooking up a storm for the many meals we'll be hosting during this celebration, which is my favorite holiday of the year.

Don't you just love these colorful, pretty fruit marzipan candies that one of our guests (thanks, Estee!) just dropped off at my house?

Happy Sukkot &

Chag Sameach

That's so epic! Whether it's on the ski slope, on the playground, at school or when they're just hanging out, that is often what you'll hear today's kids respond when they hear or see something particularly cool or awesome. So I couldn't have thought of a better title myself when naming the family animated movie Epic (that's with a capital 'E') that was such a hit in theaters. Recently this movie launched into the home entertainment space and is now available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, Deluxe Edition Blu-ray and DVD for children and families to enjoy together again and again.

Blue Sky Studios Epic is from the same creative team that brought the world the entertaining and memorable Ice Age kids film. Epic is the retelling of a fantastic adventure involving a teenage girl nature fairy and a queen who team up to save a group of curious fellows known as Leafmen from evil forces. The movie features talented voice cast members that audiences will recognize like Colin Farrell, Amanda Seyfried, Christoph Waltz, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler, Pitbull, and Beyoncé. 

Watching this film reminded me of my family's vacation to Costa Rica recently and all the lush vegetation, rain forests and exotic bugs we saw...

Every Epic Blu-ray and DVD includes a super fun and engaging app called Epic Coloring and Storybook Builder that gives kids the chance to create their own Epic stories to share with friends and loved ones. In addition the various products offer an assortment of different fun elements to enhance enjoyment of the film. For example, inside every the Epic Deluxe Edition Blu-ray, you'll get 3 Epic Seed cards so you can grow your own Epic Garden.

Take a look at this exclusive clip for an example of the wonderful extra features included in the home release. This one is a peek at the thought and creativity that went into designing the fanciful forest character Queen Tara's costume dress. 

Epic, from Twentieth Century Fox is rated PG, has a run time of 109 minutes and features subtitles in English, Spanish and French making it a good choice for multi-lingual families and those in homes where someone needs the support of subtitles to understand the dialog.

Now on Blu-ray Combo Pack, Deluxe Edition Blu-ray and DVD, Epic is widely available both in-store and online. To learn more about everything Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is doing visit Foxconnect.com or follow the company on Facebook and Twitter.
