Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and a Bubble Thing

My kids recently went to see Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Caleb says that he saw the Bubble Thing in the movie. Now, I don't remember everything I learned about Greek Mythology, but I am pretty sure I would have remembered ole Zeus pulling out the Bubble Thing when having a throw down with the Titans. Maybe it was one of Hercules' lesser tasks, to make a bubble that he could fit in? Perhaps Athena made bubbles and then used them for targe practice? I guess I will have to go see the movie and find out.

You, however, can find out all about the Bubble Thing at Town Square Toys! The Bubble Thing says that you can make gigantic bubbles; you can make them 10 or 20 feet long! Is that true? Well, I have seen Caleb in the backyard making some pretty awesome bubbles, that is for sure. I didn't break out the tape measure, but they were huge. Even when he couldn't get the wind to cooperate, he was creating bubbles that were easily 2 or 3 feet wide. Go get a Bubble Thing for yourself and make some bubble magic happen!

If you want more information about Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief , you can check it out at The Internet Movie Database. It has some slightly scary parts for younger kids; I think Medusa was the freakiest person mentioned by the boys. I can't imagine that she would be any stranger than the Medusa from Clash of the Titans - the original one. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief stars quite a cast: Logan Lerman, Brandon T. Jackson, Alexandra Daddario, Jake Abel, Sean Bean, Pierce Brosnan, Steve Coogan, Rosario Dawson, Uma Thurman and many more.
