When you think of Pharrell Williams' infectiously-upbeat "Happy," can you think of a person who not only wouldn't like it, but would absolutely 100% despise it? Of course that individual would be THE GRINCH, and on November 9, 2018, he's back in theaters as Illumination and Universal Pictures bring forth a new animated feature based on the holiday classic...
When it comes to holiday specials, Jim Henson's Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas has always ranked among my favorites - one that I'd eagerly await seeing each year when HBO would get around to airing it again... those primitive years before home video really caught on.

While many of these are full-size Mr. Potato Heads (I have an Opti-mash Prime TRANSFORMERS edition from 2007-ish) or miniature (see the Playskool Mixable, Mashable Heroes I posted about recently), now comes something that's more of a...
Barbie - The Princess & The Popstar by MattelThis Fall, my oldest daughter finally started getting into the world of Barbie. Growing up in a musical household, it's not surprising that she gravitated toward the recent PRINCESS & THE POPSTAR line of toys, along with the companion film (now on DVD). While she only has two Barbie dolls right...
It's been an exceptionally light year when it comes to new Holiday Music. That said, 2013 has made my annual quest for new Holiday songs that rock very difficult. Answering the call this year are none other than punk rock legends, BAD RELIGION. On their unlikely album, CHRISTMAS SONGS (out now on Epitaph Records), the band reworks eight Christmas classics, and...
This Friday (November 28) at 7pm ET/PT, the SANTA HUNTERS are coming to Nickelodeon. This all-new original TV movie stars Benjamin “Lil P-Nut” Flores Jr. and Breanna Yde of THE HAUNTED HATHAWAYS, along with Mace Coronel (NICKY RICKY DICKY DAWN) as kids who've perhaps gone a little bit too far in their quest to prove that Santa Claus is real. The folks...
As we fast-approach the holiday season, more news is rolling in on 2017's fresh batch of seasonal cheer, and one big piece is the debut of Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You. Based on Mariah's 1994 song and the book that it inspired, All I Want for Christmas is You is an all-new animated feature that follows...
We've had an unusually great season for Holiday Music this year - a welcome flood of new tunes that follow a bit of a drought in the festive fare. The Rock Father's 2017 Ultimate Guide to New Release Holiday Music and Movies continues to grow as we approach Christmas, and today there's a new addition - a rocked-up version...
In this digital age, content providers strive to be wherever kids might be, and for Nickelodeon that includes a multitude of devices that comprise the footprint of their digital platform. They've got Apps, eBooks, Games and more, and this year they're getting decked-out for the Holidays with all-new seasonal updates. The folks at Nick just hit THE ROCK FATHER...

Having collaborated and performed with artists including Brian Wilson, Jason Mraz, Hunter Hayes, Gladys Knight, Lindsey Stirling, George Watsky, Jackie Evancho,...
