Shout Jumps Into Fall

It's hard to believe that it’s almost September! School is starting and summer is waning, yet we still have some fun in store for you! In this issue, we’re recapping our exciting time at Power Morphicon 2014 (with an even more exciting sale!), sharing not one, not two, but three movies we having coming to theaters in the coming weeks and, finally, topping things off with a sweet finish: a recipe for Twilight Sparkle’s Raspberry Star Cookies. Summer may almost be over, but we assure you, great Shout! Kids deals and fun are not!

Shout Goes To The Movies!

September is going to be an exciting time for Shout! Kids at the movies!  We’re premiering three of our favorite upcoming releases on the silver screen, but only for a limited time.  Save the dates!

Starting September 5th, you can see Thunder And The House Of Magic, a family-friendly animated film about a young cat trying to find a new home. When he stumbles upon a magician’s dazzling old mansion, filled with automatons and gizmos, he not only finds that home, but also a family worth fighting for. Watch the trailer and find a theater here.

On September 24th, Jack And The Cuckoo-Clock Heart hits theaters. It’s a must-see for fans of stunning animation and beautiful music. On the coldest day of the year, little Jack is born, but with a frozen heart. To save his life, a crafty midwife replaces his heart with a cuckoo clock. As he grows up, he is repeatedly warned that too much emotion would overwhelm his mechanical heart … which becomes a problem when he falls in love with a beautiful young singer and goes on a quest to find her. Learn more and find a theater here.

And on September 27th, the girls of Equestria are back in the new movie you have been waiting for: My Little Pony Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks! Princess Twilight, together with her best friends, must defeat The Dazzlings, a sinister girl group threatening Canterlot High. Go here to find a theater near you.

Twilight Sparkle’s Raspberry Star Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (8 ounce) jar raspberry preserves
• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 2 teaspoons almond extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, combine the flour and salt: stir into the creamed mixture. Dough will be stiff. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into star shapes using a cookie cutter. Set cookies 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Place a teaspoon of jam onto each cookie and spread out towards the points of the stars. Roll out remaining half of the dough and cut into stars the same size. Cut holes in the center of each star, then place them onto the jam stars.

Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden around the edges. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners’ sugar and almond extract to form a glaze. Add water, a teaspoon at a time, if the mixture is too thick to drizzle. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
