Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3 – fun for the whole family!

by

Tuesday night, we had the pleasure of seeing Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 3 presented by Disney on Ice.

Before the show began, Catherine Connors stood at the edge of the ice in her beautiful tutu. She explained to everyone about Tanner, DMD and the tutu-wearing community who has supported her and helped her raise money and awareness for DMD. Pure awesome!

Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy come out and introduced the show, explaining that we’ll see some of the highlights of all three Toy Story movies. With Andy narrating, the toys re-enact many of the favourite scenes as “remember when” sequences looking back at Toy Story 1 and 2. After intermission, they tell remaining part of the Toy Story 3 movie!

The Disney on Ice people are really smart — they use music that the parents like but is catch for the kids. And the Dads seemed to like the Barbie scene where 20+ Barbies were all skating together in 80s-style workout clothes.

Andy and the toys put on a great show and you can’t help by love them all!

Toy Story 3 is playing at the Roger Centre until March 20th!

Tanner, Tutus and Toy Story 3

by

There is a very cool author (who I’ve been reading for a very long time) who’s helping to raise awareness and money for Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and helping to make one very special boy’s dreams come true.

Catherine Connors, Her Bad Mother, and Feld Entertainment are doing a very awesome thing for DMD.

In the image below, you will see the code TANNER. When you use this code to purchase your tickets to any of the Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3 shows playing at the Rogers Centre from March 15 to 20th, $2 from each ticket will go to DMD.  Pure awesome!

But let’s backtrack a bit….

What is DMD?

As Catherine said in her post, “A Prayer Before Dying“: 

“Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy, which is a condition in which the muscles – including the heart and lungs – gradually disintegrate. It almost exclusively affects boys. It always kills, usually before the child’s late teens. There is no cure.”

You can read more at MD Canada’s FAQs.

Who’s Tanner?

Over the last few year, I’ve been reading Catherine’s blog, Her Bad Mother. In September 2007, I read a post about Tanner entitled “The heart is a muscle. Use it.“

Tanner was 8 then and had only recently diagnosed with MDM. And a lot has happened over the last 4 years. And you can read all of Catherine’s posts about Tanner here: http://herbadmother.com/tanner/ I’ve never met Tanner but through her posts you can just feel how awesome this boy is and how much he is loved.

Go now. Read. I’ll wait here with the tissues when you get back.

How can you help?

This is the easy and fun part. Buy tickets to see Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3 using the code TANNER and wear a Tutu! 

Why a tutu?

“Because Catherine said so” should be a good enough reason but I’ll explain more.
Never mind… I’ll just let Catherine explain it.  Read here –>
Opening night (March 15th), Catherine will be announcing the show, proudly in her tutu!  Read here for more info!
Now do as your told…go buy a ticket and wear your tutu!
