Disney Pixar Inside Out Review & Printable

Last weekend, we were invited to attend the Change4Life 10 Minute Shake Up campaign with Disney Pixar Inside Out movie preview at Soho Hotel. Both of our children were excited as they were the first few to watch the Inside Out movie (out in cinema from 24 July 2015 in UK), and they also received the Change4Life team wristband with timer.

Change4Life and Disney are teaming up again to bring four favourite Disney teams; Frozen, Toy Story, Monsters Inc. and Big Hero 6, to inspire children to do a little more activity each day via the 10 Minute Shake Up campaign. With just 21% of boys and 16% of girls currently meeting the national recommended 60 minutes of activity they need each day, the Change4Life initiative encourage children to do ten-minute bursts. Kids across England can become Shake Up winners by taking part in as many Shake Ups as they can to help their chosen Disney team win!
