Downloading Disney Movies To Keep Forever

September 19, 2017

watching Disney movies

We’re huge (big and little) Disney fans here and absolutely LOVE their entire film catalogue from the classics I watched myself as a kids spanning everything from Bambi (the first film I ever saw *weep) to Dumbo, Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to name just a few, right up to recent faves we play on repeat such as Zootropolis (one of the smartest, most moving films I’ve ever seen) to the empowering Moana, and total tear-jerker, The Good Dinosaur.

Honest Mum watches The Good Dinosaur

The Good Dinosaur

Walt Disney, the creator of Mickey Mouse and the Disney legacy is a complete hero of mine and I often like to remind myself of his wisdom,

“In bad times and in good I’ve never lost my sense of zest for life.”

“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious . . . and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths”. 

“You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you”.

What an inspirational creative he was and his ethos continues to imbue all that Disney stand for, today.

I’m so excited to discover that you can now download and purchase Disney films and keep/watch them forever.

How cool is that?!

The Good Dinosaur

Available to purchase digitally in the Sky Store, Amazon Video, iTunes, Google Play and more, you can now download Disney films whenever and wherever you like, storing them on iPads, smartphones, tablets, games consoles and laptops meaning watching content both at home, abroad and on the move, is easier than ever.

Another thing that’s great about storing those Disney movies, is that let’s say you download a film on to your mobile phone for example, you can still download or stream it on your tablet, too. There are no limitations!

It’s also great value that you can watch the content you download again and again, as they remain available in your account indefinitely.

You can save classic films, or the latest downloads as soon as they’re released and entertain the kids with the beauty of Disney. Last weekend, we had a Disney marathon as the kids enjoyed The Good Dinosaur at home, Zootropolis on the move both at the train station and once on the train to London, and Moana on a car trip out of town.

Entertaining the kids on the move meant fewer arguments (other than what to watch first, of course!) and made for a more pleasurable, quieter rides for us all!

If you’re on wi-fi, you can stream the films automatically, otherwise you need to download them to watch offline. Easy, simple and oh-so entertaining!

Life last weekend was a million times easier and more fun thanks to Disney.

I’ve also cried ALL the tears watching these heart-warmers and feel uplifted by the Disney message that good always prevails.

Disney prides itself on its emotive, world-renowned, multi-award winning fare and I’m certain that Walt Disney himself would be proud of the latest developments and innovations Disney are making in his name.

Have you downloaded these forever-films yet?

    This is so handy to know. We are going away in October and have a very long flight so I will be downloading quite a few. I still haven’t seen Zootropolis so will watch that on the plane. Oh and might consider getting something for A too 🙂 xx

    It’s so useful having the films on all devices – in those moments when all you have is your phone or someone else is watching the TV (usually Dad playing Fifa…) you can use the other devices.

    This is awesome. We love Disney and with the way technology is going it just is easier to download the movies these days. We have too many dvd’s laying around and they take up so much space so the download forever option is very appealing to me.

It's like we might have role-reversed along the way but I missed that too because growth creeps up on you slowly, like aging, and before you know it, you still feel 16 but have a 16 year old son beside you. 

Born at Queen Charlotte’s back in 2010, the hospital was enveloped in uncharacteristic snow for London, even on January 10th, unrelenting, for the three whole days and nights I spent there with the tiny, chubby stranger I’d only just met I somehow felt I'd always known.

10 years on and it will have no doubt doubled! A 2 10 years on and it will have no doubt doubled! A 2016 study by Sainsbury’s Bank suggested that it is indeed more expensive to raise a girl than a boy. The report, based on a survey of over 2,000 parents, found that parents spent several hundred pounds more annually on daughters from birth through to their teenage years. 
Key Findings from the 2016 Report
Ages 0-5: Raising a girl cost around £300 a year more than a boy.
Ages 6-13: The cost difference increased to approximately £400 a year more for girls.
Ages 14-18: The gap nearly doubled during the teenage years, with parents spending almost £600 a year more on daughters than sons. 
Reasons for the Cost Difference
The primary driver identified in the research was clothing. 
Girls’ apparel tended to be more expensive than boys’.
As girls got older, they developed an interest in accessories like shoes, hats, and bags, which further increased expenses. 
Other studies have echoed these findings, noting that the costs for essentials like food and transport were largely the same, but fashion and personal care items widened the spending gap. #girl #research #data #didyouknow #fyp
Why is life so exhausting?! #memes #relstable #mot Why is life so exhausting?! #memes #relstable #motherhood #juggling #viral Reminder of what we’re up against as moms: Societal Expectations & The “Ideal Mother” Myth: A major contributor to maternal overwhelm is the pressure from the “intensive mothering” ideology, which suggests mothers should dedicate all their time and energy to their children and be constantly “on”. This unattainable ideal leads to feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and self-pressure.
The Mental Load: Mothers disproportionately carry the “mental load,” which includes the invisible work of anticipating needs, planning, and making decisions for the family, in addition to physical and emotional labor. This is often unacknowledged and can be a significant source of chronic stress and decision fatigue.
Lack of Support and Isolation: Compared to previous generations or hunter-gatherer societies where child-rearing was a communal effort, modern mothers often raise children in isolation, far from extended family support networks. This lack of a “village” exacerbates feelings of loneliness and makes it harder to cope with demands.
Work-Family Conflict: Working mothers, in particular, face challenges balancing career demands with family needs, often resulting in “double shifts” (paid work followed by unpaid domestic and care work). The high cost and lack of affordable, flexible childcare options force many to sacrifice their careers.
Physical and Emotional Exhaustion: The chronic stress and sleep deprivation can lead to physical symptoms (headaches, pain) and emotional issues, including irritability, mood swings, emotional distancing from children, and even thoughts of escape or self-harm in severe burnout cases.
Advice Overwhelm: New mothers, in particular, report increased stress from an overload of often contradictory advice from friends, family, and social media influencers, making them doubt their own parenting abilities.
