KIDS FIRST! Radio

Congratulations to Lynne Cherry, Diane and Karen Lampiasi and David Bunting on winning awards at the 2011 My Hero Project. The mission of MY HERO is to use media and technology to celebrate the best of humanity and to empower people of all ages to realize their own potential to effect positive change in the world.

The not-for-profit project is supported by visitors of all ages who share stories, art, and short films on our award-winning multimedia journal and digital library.

Tune into KIDS FIRST! Coming Attractions for 2012! This week, we are reviewing the new app by Dr. Toy and interviewing Dr. Toy herself. Also, our youth critics will review one of the classic family films playing on HDNet Movies KidScene next month: Bedknobs & Broomsticks and the family film about an autistic pitcher who joins a minor-league baseball team and profoundly affects the entire team. Catch all of this with your host Raven Devanney and critics Gabriella Chu, Sam Connan and Makai Weber Colvin.

Studios and filmmakers are committed to 3D although there is definite push back from the theaters. Higher ticket prices help the theaters, but they are faced with the studios making them pay for the 3D glasses. An expense the studios have absorbed so far. Cameron feels that 3D is going to improve but the time is right to convert. Disney saw a big theater attendance for the re-release of The Lion King in 3D, with Beauty and the Beast coming out next. Titanic will take a year to convert.

Tune into KIDS FIRST! Coming Attractions for 2012! This week, we are reviewing the all new 3D release of the beloved Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast. Also, our youth critics will review three classic family films playing on HDNet Movies KidScene this month: Explorers, Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and North. Catch all of this with your host Raven Devanney and critics Gabriella Chu and Makai Weber Colvin.
