Get ready to watch with this super fun pack of FREE PRINTABLE HOME ACTIVITY SHEETS!

Since this edition first arrived in our mailbox we have been watching it pretty much constantly.  In a twist on the usual story in my house, I’m actually not sick of watching it at all, and some of the replays have been me watching it by myself without the girls.

HOME is hands down my favourite movie of the year, and definitely my favourite since Frozen first graced our blu-ray player.  It is smart, it is funny, it is sad and it is completely well done from animation to soundtrack to story.   Everything gets an A+ for me.

Speaking of the soundtrack, I was totally blown away by the featured music throughout the movie.  It worked so well but was just completely different from what you would expect to find in a family feature and it was used to perfection.

If  you haven’t seen HOME, you need to run out and get a copy of the HOME PARTY EDITION.  Like now. Seriously.

Have you watched HOME?  What did you think?
