Are You Dreaming About Owning a Prius?

Aug-21-2012 By Barbara Zak

Well, now’s the time to get out there and get one. During the month of August, there is a massive August Prius Blowout sale going on.   The Prius debuted in 2001, at the new edge of design and technology. It’s powered by a hybrid electric motor that is paired up to a gasoline engine-so you have power when you need it.  The units are designed to work together in tandem or individually, allowing you to earn great fuel economy while producing next to NO carbon emissions.

Unlike many of the other subcompacts Prius is roomy and qualifies as a midsize sedan. It comfortably seats four adults, while offering a smooth ride, and it can be loaded with just about any high tech features you can imagine. For the environmentally conscious family or individual looking to enjoy the outdoors and conserve fuel- the Prius is your answer to achieving both goals.  Over time owning a Prius, or just about any Toyota, saves you money, while offering you unparalleled fuel economy. I previously owned a Toyota Carola, and loved it. My BIL, owns a 2010 Prius, and loves the fuel economy he gets on freeway driving.

The Prius first went on the market in Japan in 1997, as the first mass produced hybrid vehicle. It was then introduced worldwide in 2000, and is now sold in over 70 countries.  The 2 million sold milestone was reached in September of 2010.

Toyota expanded the Prius family to include Prius-v an extended roomy hatchback wagon, and the Prius-c toyota prius c special offers a subcompact hatchback in 2011, and this year they have added a Plugin Hybrid to the family of Prius choices. With at least five different choices of the Prius and a nationwide blowout sale, now’s the time to scoop up on the value at your nearest Toyota dealership.

On Tuesday, August 21,2012 you can experience the spectacular imagery that only Disneynature can provide – with it’s newest debut of  “Chimpanzee,” as a Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray+DVD=$39.99 U.S. and $49.99 Canada.), Digital and On-Demand viewing.  Disneynature, has brought you “Earth,” “Oceans,” and “African Cats,” and now the most amazing and heartwarming adventure yet “Chimpanzee.”

This inspiring film takes you on the true life adventure of Oscar, an adorable young chimpanzee, whose zest for life and constant curiosity showcases some of the ingenuity and intelligence of the chimpanzee’s in an up close and personal way.  They have always been known to be among the most extraordinary personalities of the entire animal kingdom.

“Chimpanzee,” is a remarkable look at Oscar’s growth and individual triumph, as well as, family bonds created within his group. You’ll experience a journey deep into the African Forest, where Oscar and other fellow young chimps introduce you to their playground, where they love creating mayhem. It’s an inspiring and life-changing adventure that gives you an up close and personal look into Oscar’s family, and how they must navigate and protect their complex forest territory, which is their food source and vital to their existence.  This interesting, inspirational and life-changing adventure with it’s beautiful footage, is guaranteed to capture your heart with it’s courage and charm.

The making of “Chimpanzee” is a series of exciting short features, that show the incredible lengths the film-makers went through to capture and tell the  story of Oscar and his family.

A team of researchers, including Dr. Jane Goodall, have been researching chimpanzee’s along the Ivory Coast for 30 years.  You’ll get a behind the scenes look at how and why the film was made. Cameramen would go on a two hour daily trek through the forest, just to get to the chimpanzee’s and observe their daily lives, like how they use rocks and tools to prepare their food. They also had to keep a distance, and yet manage to catch the films two rival family groups struggle to share the same family forest home.  The crew, even spent two days wading through the sea of bees on location, in order to capture just 20 seconds of stunning footage.

In celebration of the in-home debut of “Chimpanzee,” Disneynature will donate a portion of the first-week sales to the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) through the “See Chimpanzee, Save Chimpanzees” Conservation Program. For every purchase of the movie through August 27th,2012, Disneynature will make a donation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, to conserve chimpanzee habitat, educate the next generation, and care for orphaned chimpanzees.

This is a beautiful look at one of the most amazing creatures in the world. It is good wholesome family entertainment, and a close-up look at family values in the wild. It’s some of the most amazing filming I have ever seen. It makes you feel like you are there, and a part of the action in a most beautiful and pristine place.
