I love to go to the movies with my girls but but even going to a regular matinee these days can not be considered a bargain. That is why I was so excited to continue my relationship with Kidtoons. This month they are featuring Candyland: The Great Lollipop Adventure, plus a special short feature The Busytown Mysteries: The Vanishing Vehicle Mystery at selected movie theaters nationwide. For my local readers, you can see these movies at Emagine Theaters.
Jib, the youngest of all the gingerbread boys is about to go on the adventure of his young life… to bring Mama’s special gingerbread icing to Candy Castle for the Sweet Celebration, a festival that ushers in the sweet new candies of Spring. And all Jib has to do is stay on the Rainbow Path, follow his heart, and be on time. But on his way, Jib meets Mr. Mint in the Peppermint Forest and the most fun-loving fellow in all of Candy Land. Jib tries to stay on schedule, but Mr. Mint has other, much more fun ideas!
You can check out the Kidtoons website to find the participating theater nearest you. When I did that, I found that the cost to see the movie at the theater nearest me is just $3 a person. If you have checked on the prices before, you might want to again because Kidtoons ticket pricing has been reduced in some locations.
If you have never heard of Kidtoons, here is a bit more about them. They are dedicated to helping parents connect with their kids by bringing family friendly animated movies to the big screen every weekend at participating theatres across the country. Participating Kidtoons theatres showcase a fun, affordable family friendly matinee movie and provide a family experience filled with entertaining, kid-friendly characters, as well as cartoon shorts, music videos and sing-alongs before each movie. They even have fun giveaways for the kids, such as stickers, temporary tattoos, activity books or toys after every film.
The folks at Kidtoons were generous enough to offer a giveaway to my readers. One lucky winner will receive:
1 Candyland movie poster
1 Busytown Mysteries Toy Vehicle (Various Different Versions)
1 Busytown Mysteries Cars & Trucks Numbers Flash Card Game
1 Busytown Mysteries DVD (26 Episodes!)
1 Busytown Mysteries Shapes Stickers

I’m surprised to say this, but I have never played before. I had three boys and had all kinds of games, but for some reason we never had Candyland. Now my 6 and 3 year old grandsons would really enjoy this.
Thanks for the giveaway!
