HISTORY:  "Alice in Wonderland" is the thirteenth full-length animated theatrical feature from Walt Disney.  It debuted in theaters in the summer of 1951.  Alice has certainly stolen the "hearts" of many Disney fans throughout the years.  This colorful & whimsical movie is so beloved that Disney released a live-action, 3D, more grown-up sequel in 2010.

THEMED MOVIE-WATCHING SNACK:  Tie-Die Cupcakes
Simply prepare your white or yellow cake batter per the instructions on the box.  Then separate the batter into bowls (depending on how many colors you plan to use - 3-5 colors).  Use food coloring to color the batter.  In each cupcake tin, place a small amount of each colored batter.  Bake per the instructions on the box.  Top with your favorite icing / sprinkles, and presto...crazy, tie-die cupcakes!

HISTORY:  "Monsters Inc." is Disney Pixar's fourth full-length animated theatrical feature.  This movie boasts an incredible cast of actors, including Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Jennifer Tilly, Bonnie Hunt and of course John Ratzenberger who has voiced a small part in every Pixar movie to date.  Who is your favorite voice behind the monster?

Some of the Pixar characters voiced by John Ratzenberger, including the Abominable Snowman from Monsters Inc.

THEMED MOVIE-WATCHING SNACK:  Pillsbury - Monsters Inc Sugar Cookies
These cookies are a super simple and delicious movie-watching snack.  You can find them in the refrigerated Ready To Bake cookie section of the grocery store.  My favorite part about them is that my kids can eat them without making a huge mess!  All you have to do is open the package, place the pre-cut cookies on a cookie sheet and bake them for 10 minutes!  The kids love the cute picture of Mike Wazowski on the cookies, and moms love the ease of a fun snack.  Awesome!
