The Madeline Movie: Lost in Paris DVD Review and Giveaway

I'm sure there are many who are familiar with the beloved Madeline?! I know I am, and that is why I was very excited to learn that The Madeline Movie: Lost in Paris is going to be released on DVD this April 13th from Shout! Factory. I was even more thrilled when I learned that I would have the opportunity to review it and give one away!


Madeline is an orphan who lives with 11 other little girls. She is sweet, but seems to find trouble wherever she goes. She loves living with her friends and the nun who looks after them, but realizes her desire for a family when a long lost uncle from Vienna shows up to visit her. Without giving away the whole movie, I can tell you that poor little Madeline finds herself in the middle of a scheme...one of which requires her to be brave so she can get back to her 'real' family...Miss Clavel and the little girls at the boarding school.

I watched The Madeline Movie: Lost in Paris with my 2 year old daughter and she loved it! Between the adventurous story line and the fun songs....she was glued! She had never been introduced to Madeline before, so that made it even better! In my opinion, this is definitely one movie you'll want to have and watch with your little ones. I'm very glad that we own it now.

Press Release:

The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris
Starring Jason Alexander, Lauren Bacall, Christopher Plummer and Andrea Libman
IN STORES APRIL 13, 2010 FROM SHOUT! FACTORY

She's captured millions of hearts and been adored by every generation -- now Madeline stars in her first animated feature! Inspired by the beloved classic books that introduced us to a dozen delightful girls who live in an old house in Paris covered with vines, The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris is full of spirited fun and five "fantastique" new songs.

When a long-lost uncle from Vienna pays a surprise visit, Madeline's dreams of family life seem wonderfully fulfilled -- until she finds herself in the middle of an unfortunate scheme. Madeline then must call upon all of her courage and cleverness to foil an evil plot to take her from the only family she's ever known. Join Madeline, Miss Clavel, Pepito, 11 school friends, and her ever-so-smart dog, Genevieve, in a thrilling Paris adventure you won't want to miss, where everyone learns the true meaning of family!
