The Legacy Collection – The Little Mermaid – a Review

January 9, 2015 by Ashley 6 Comments

I received the Little Mermaid Legacy Collection CD as a member of the Entertainment New Media Network.  No further compensation was received and all opinions are my own.  This post may also contain affiliate links.

I have always, always loved Disney movies, books, and especially their soundtracks.  How can you not?  They are freaking amazing.  Every song has the potential to get stuck in your head.   To say that I was excited to review The Legacy Collection: The Little Mermaid would be an understatement.  I cannot express just how excited I was to receive this collection in the mail.

Many companies seem to be skimping on packaging of video games, movies, and music albums, but Disney isn’t one of these companies. I love how this collection came packaged.  This two-disc collection comes in a case that looks like a little hardcover art book.  The little book contains excerpts written by various people who worked on the production of The Little Mermaid that are all very interesting.  It also contains the lyrics to all of the songs that you find on the CD.

I love the booklet just as much as I love the CD’s that it came with.  I love the great sound quality of the songs in this collection and I have loved being able to reminisce and picture the movie in my head while listening to the songs play out (and yes I will admit that I sing along to them loudly).

You can find this collection as well as all of their Legacy Collection albums for purchase at the Disney Music Emporium.

Disney- Frozen: The Songs Album Review

September 30, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment

This post was sponsored by ENMN Network and Walt Disney Records.

frozen cover artI am a huge fan of Frozen and was so excited to be given the chance to review the Frozen soundtrack here on Parsimonious Pash.  I loved the Frozen motion picture when it came out in theaters.  I was lucky enough to be gifted the movie for my birthday from my loving sister, Sarah.

The Frozen: The Songs soundtrack features your 10 favorite songs and also comes with a bonus sticker sheet and a collectible Frozen poster with your favorite characters from the movie on it!

Which is your favorite character?

My absolute favorite character is Sven.  I find him to be humerus and a great character who brings great entertainment value to the movie.  He is also a great participant in my favorite song, Fixer Upper, from the movie.  I know most people absolutely love Let it Go, and I do too, but there is some really cute humor to the song Fixer Upper that I cannot get over.

I do also love the song Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People, again for the humor that comes with Sven singing with his Reindeer buddy.  I am already searching the market for a new poster frame so that I can hang up the poster on my wall with all of my other amazing movie posters that are already framed.

Giveaway Time!

This giveaway is open to one US winner!  The winner will receive a copy of Frozen: The Songs.

The Amazing Spiderman 2 Discussion and Trailer

April 18, 2014 by Ashley 10 Comments

The Amazing Spiderman 2: His Greatest Battle Begins is coming to theaters soon and I for one cannot wait to see it in theaters for a variety of reasons.  The first and foremost being that I am a huge comic and Marvel fan.  I have also seen the previous Spiderman movie and do not want to miss this one.  You always see me make it to the theater for a good Marvel movie, but talking about that isn’t why I am writing this post today.

I am here to tell you what I thought of this awesome His Greatest Battle Begins Discussion Guide The Amazing Spiderman 2.

This is a great little guide about Spiderman and how his story relates to people and shows just how you can apply the movie to being something more than just a movie.

spiderman 2About Spiderman 

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2™, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.
This little guide may only be five pages long, but it covers a wide variety of ideals and is chalked full of discuss ideas to have with your family.  I believe that this guide is something great to look over and spend time on before the movie comes to theaters.  In it you will discuss The Nature of Power, the idea that Time is Luck and Life is Precious, the concept of Choices or Destiny, and the ideal of Sacrifice.
I believe that this is a great piece to go over with your family before seeing the movie so that you all already are thinking about the different ideals and concepts that are throughout the movie when you do get to see it.  This Discussion Guide is one that is meant to be a religious discussion and does include Bible verses in it; however I feel that if you are not religious or are not Christian you would be able to easily pass by the verses and read the rest for what it is.
