Netflix Families Get Old School With The New Cool #Netflix #StreamTeam #Ad #TBT

Zoinks! Here at ChiIL Mama, we've always loved introducing our kids to the original classics from our own childhoods, when we all had to wait for Saturday morning for the good cartoons! I mean, what beats the classic Scooby Doo episodes?! It's a hoot to rediscover childhood favs anew through the eyes of your own kids.

Here's a little decade skipping #TBT action with the "way back machine" when my whole family rocked Scooby & the gang for our son's themed birthday party, staring the boy as the dog and the dog as a boy! Check out Dugan as Scooby Doo, the dog as Fred, Sage as Velma, and me as Daphne, somewhere around 2005! My husband, Dug, as Shaggy must have been taking this shot.

As much as we like to go all old school in our pop culture training, some of the next gen spin offs and updates are loads of fun too, like Inspector Gadget and Danger Mouse. 



So settle in with your littles for some now and then comparison watching. And when you're done cavorting down animated memory lane, check out some rockin' "New on Netflix" shows like our fam fav here at ChiIL Mama, Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 1 or get multi culti with Gallina Pintadita (Now streaming in Spanish!)

"Jurassic Dog Park" Parody by DreamWorksTV

Here at ChiIL Mama, my son and I were some of the record breaking crowds to see “Jurassic World” on opening weekend. The film now holds the record for the biggest North American opening in movie history raking in $208.8 million! And it's acclaim is justified. We splurged and saw it in IMAX 3D and I'm glad we did.

Prior to this, another of our super favs, “Marvel’s the Avengers”, was the previous record holder at $207.4 million. It's also sparked some creative spin offs like this cute parody that hit our in box via our friends at DreamWorksTV. Check it out below.

Some kids mow lawns…others build lemonade stands…but eight year-old John Hammond built a park… a Jurassic Dog Park.  When Hammond and his scientists create a hybrid dino-dog, things get “ruff” for park employees and visitors alike.  

Can the ferocious (and adorable) animals be tamed with chew toys, sticks and dog treats?  You have to watch this “Jurassic Bark” parody by DreamWorksTV (www.YouTube.com/DreamWorksTV) to find out!

Check out the parody trailer here:
