Did you spot our Pixels inspired crafts earlier this week? I promised to give away some exciting Pixels movie merchandise, to celebrate the release of Pixels on DVD and Blu-ray and true to my word I have some great Pixels prizes to share with you today!
As kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), Will Cooper (Kevin James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and Eddie “The Fire Blaster” Plant (Peter Dinklage) saved the world thousands of times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades. Now, they’re going to have to do it for real. In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth, using the video games as the models for their assaults – and now U.S. President Cooper must call on his old-school arcade friends to save the world from being destroyed by PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Centipede, and Space Invaders. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.
Pixels is an exciting action packed movie, featuring lots of our favourite old school video game characters, we’re really looking forward to watching it on Blu-Ray this weekend!
For the giveaway, there will be 6 winners, with one 1st prize and 5 runners up, as follows:
1st Prize
1 Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set
This is a cool light up model Pac-Man that stores the Pixels Blu-Ray inside it’s base.
5 runners up
5 runners up will each get a Pixels DVD and a Pac-Man character plush toy. It’ll be one of the ones shown, but we can’t guarantee which one, so it’ll be a surprise – which is always more exciting anyway!

Its a great movie i watched it with my 4 young children who laughed along with it. Im a huge Sandler fan i know his movies get panned but sometimes a movie is meant to be funny and stupid and not all oscar worthy. Also being a retro gaming fan the references were great to spot. Worth watching if you have not seen.
