Don’t miss Disney’s latest DVD release and a giveaway!

May 19th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Time traveling geeks become heroes and a young entrepreneur rocks the White House!

On DVD May 27th, it’s the Disney Channel original movie MINUTEMEN and the latest installment of the hit series CORY IN THE HOUSE: Newt and Improved!

minute.jpg Minutemen

It’s a short trip from zero to hero in MINUTEMEN, the hit Disney Channel Original Movie that mashes together outrageous comedy and awesome sci-fi adventure. And only on this DVD can you score the never-before-seen extended ending and an exclusive time-traveling feature that takes you behind the scenes with the cast for a cutting edge — and funny — look back at the making of the film! Go back in time with three hi-tech heroes! To spare other kids from humiliating and totally un-cool high school experiences, senior Virgil (Jason Dolley of CORY IN THE HOUSE) and his buddies invent the ultimate time machine. But when they accidentally open a black hole, they learn that turning back the clock can create a massive mess. You won’t want to miss a single hilarious minute!

corey.jpgCory In The House: Newt & Improved Edition

Dig into outrageous fun in three of your favorite episodes and one you’ve never seen before from CORY IN THE HOUSE, the hit series from Disney Channel — on DVD for the first time ever! Plus, the NEWT & IMPROVED EDITION DVD takes you behind the scenes to watch how the never-before-seen episode was created, from brainstorming with the writers to rehearsals with the cast to the “big day” when the episode was filmed — all with that Cory Baxter flair! Now that Cory and his dad are settled into life in the White House, Cory is cooking up even zanier “Newt & Improved” schemes with his friends Newt and Meena. You’ll laugh out loud as Cory and Meena come up with a clever plan to help Newt in the “romantical department” to get his first kiss. Pucker up! The guys totally clash when they have to write a hot new song for their band — before sundown! And things really heat up when Cory almost destroys the cherished Presidential Seal. (You won’t believe what Newt brings in as a replacement.) All this, and they still have to pass Chemistry, steer clear of Sophie and avoid causing any diplomatic crises.

We will have a review of these titles shortly. In the meantime we are giving one of our readers their own sneak peek of both DVD titles.

Deadline to enter giveaway is Thursday, May22th at 11:59 pm central time. Be sure to include a valid email address. Winner will be randomly chosen via random.org.

This giveaway is only open to US residents.

Winner will be notified via email and announced on this post. We’ll also be posting the winner’s name to PRIZEYWinners, so if you don’t want to leave your email address, just check there for the winner announcement after this giveaway closes.

If the winner does not claim prize by May 25, 2008 they will forfeit their prize to alternate winner who will be drawn at random.

Congrats to our winner, Fashionfling!
