Tally Ho Pancake

This movie was about a man who was making a pancake. The man was going to pour a whole bunch of maple syrup on the pancake, and the pancake didn't want any of the maple syrup on it, so it ran away. It went on a lot of adventures, and met lots of new people that wanted to put different stuff on it. For example, somebody wanted to put dirty socks on the pancake. Then somebody wanted to add apples. Each time someone tried to add somethng to the pancake, there was a song that went with it:

A pancake is really quite nutritious

Just add some syrup and make it taste delicious!

A pancake is really quite nutritious

Just add some socks and make it taste delicious!

A pancake is really quite nutritious

Just add some apple and make it taste delicious!

In the end, after a bunch of people tried to chase it, the pancake landed on a wire, next to a bird. It saw a little girl standing below, and she had an empty plate. The pancake didn't like to see the empty plate, so it floated down on to her plate. Then, everybody sat down at a breakfast table and they each put all of their things that they collected on the pancake. Then, they all ate the pancakes (they cut it up into small pieces) and it was delicious!

Lost and Found

This movie started with a little lost penguin ringing the doorbell of a little boy. Every time the little boy opened the door, he didn't see anything, because the penguin was so short.

The little boy decided to take the penguin back to where he came from. The little boy built a boat that would take them across the ocean to Antarctica. Along the way, there was a big storm, and the little boy and the penguin almost drowned. But then, a giant octopus helped them by putting them back in their boat so they could continue with their journey.

Once they reached Antarctica, there was a whole flock of penguins! The penguin really liked seeing his friends and family, but he also missed the little boy. He swam back to give the little boy a hug. That part made me cry, because it was so cute.


Marcel the Shell

Marcel is a shell that wears little pink shoes. She sounds very nice and gentle. She's funny, too. The funniest thing that she said in the movie was "You know where I found this lint? Under a tooth. You know what they say--lint is a shell's best friend!"

I can sound exactly like Marcel the Shell. I can make my voice sound exactly like hers.

Marcel the Shell made my mom laugh really, really hard.
