Biggle's Adventures In Time (DVD)

Advantages: good story, loveable characters & great sing-a-longs
Disadvantages: simple graphics, blurred colours

...The Land Before Time has been made into a series of movies, each lasting about 70minutes running time. The first one was released in 1988 and the sequels about 2 years after. Now avalible to own on DVD, you can have the classic & the ultimate Dinosaur equialent of Bambi in your collection. The story follows on from the first movie where littlefoot, the longnecked dinosaur, is orphaned and has to battle preadtors and the elements in order to find the great valley. He and his newely made friends live together in this film under the watchful eye of their parents, or grandparents in the case of littlefoot. As for the general quality of the graphics and animation, I'd say it was quite a let down. It's not really been improved very much from the old Video tape format. The songs and sound quality however is noticably different, either... Read review

Advantages: Feel Good Movie, Soothing and Touching
Disadvantages: Incredible plot

...This is a change of image for my favorite Superman. This film is for the hopeless romantics such as me. The plot is not credible to happen in real life but who cares! This is not the first movie that used incredible plot. Hence despite this and some hard to believe things like when Richard just closes his eyes and concentrate to travel through time and a lot of unbelievable coincidences, I still found the movie worth my time. It was so sweet. It touched my romantic and sentimental heart. Imagine the hero sacrificing everything in his present time just to search for his past love. That is true love and it hits my soft spot. The acting may not be superb but passable. The soundtrack is very impressive. This is what I love most. I have watched this movie twice and each time it did not fail to make me fall in love again.... Read review

Advantages: Passionate, well-acted, unforgettable...
Disadvantages: but only if you like this sort of thing

...even more memorable and moving than the Rachmaninov classic that also features in the film. I know of no other film that is so enhanced by the music. It's something we used to watch all the time in our family when we were kids so maybe for that reason alone my rating is a bit biased. But since then I have discussed this film with a few other people who have seen it, and there is an instant kinship that develops between fellow devotees. It's a special film with a unique atmosphere and although for some it will be a guilty pleasure I am not ashamed to say that it's up there in my personal top ten of all time. DVD EXTRAS: Fans of the film will be overjoyed by the bonus material which includes some stills from the movie and a fascinating insight into the making of the film. The whole... Read review
