HISTORY:  "The Three Caballeros" is Disney's seventh film which was released in 1944.  This movie is a fun mix of animation and live action with three crazy birds:  Donald, Jose and Panchito!  This movie takes a look at Latin American culture through dance, art and music.  You may have noticed that the boat ride, "Gran Fiesta Tour" in the Mexico pavilion at Epcot features the Three Caballeros!  It's a lot of fun to spot all of the Donald, Jose and Panchito appearances throughout the ride.

THEMED MOVIE-WATCHING SNACK:  Cheesy Quesadilla Bites
This fun snack can be made many different ways.  Simply lay out a flour tortilla and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla.  Fold the tortilla over (in half) and either bake in the oven long enough for the cheese to melt or cook it on a George Foreman type counter-top grill until cheese melts.  There are many add ins you can play with depending on how picky your kids are.  You can try:  canned shredded chicken, mexican seasoning, a thin layer of refried beans, serve with salsa, etc.   Once the quesadilla is cooked, use a pizza cutter to cut into strips or triangles.  Yum!

HISTORY:  "Monsters University" is Disney Pixar's 14th feature film, and of course is the much anticipated prequel to "Monsters Inc."  Pixar has already done 3 sequels, "Toy Story 2," "Toy Story 3," and "Cars 2," and they have had great success with all of them.  This is the first prequel for a Pixar movie, and it is sure to "scare" the laughter right out of you!

THEMED MOVIE-WATCHING SNACK:  "Mike and Ike" or "Junior Mints"
How about enjoying some fruity Mike and Ike snacks in honor of everyone's favorite little green monster, Mike Wazowski?  Or you could go with the classic Junior Mints to go along with the more youthful versions of the monsters we have already learned to love!
