Classics 2 - Mary Poppins / Robin Hood / Sleeping Beauty (Box Set) (Part Animated) (DVD)

Mary Poppins Pops In

Advantages: A spoon full of sugar...
Disadvantages: ...might rot your teeth.

was lovingly over-played during my childhood. The film is a musical and although Travers wanted classical songs that tied in with the Edwardian period in which the movie was set, Disney added their own more modern touch, modern that is for the 60s when it was made. *** Characters *** The main character is of course Mary Poppins, practically perfect in everyway? or so the words next to her height on the tape measure would have you believe. Slightly vain and abrasive she is a no nonsense nanny. Although this straight-laced side seems to be more applicable to Mr Banks who hires her. Mary Poppins is played by Julie Andrews who is perfect for the role; flawless just like the character. Mr and Mrs Banks live at Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane with their children Jane and Michael. In the books there are also baby twins John and Barbara ...

Review of Robin Hood - Prince Of Thieves (DVD)

My New Addiction - Robin Hood?

Advantages: Dramatic, Good Acting, Fantastic Soundtrack, Brilliant Plot!
Disadvantages: Would have loved more Special Features :(

I am a Robin Hood addict. (Richard Armitage and Jonas Armstrong are just one of the reasons... If you get my drift) What Is It? This DVD contains the first five episodes of the BBC new series about the legendary outlaw, Robin Hood. This was first shown on the BBC, and later released as DVD's, however they can now be bought as a full box set, and no longer per every 5 episodes. There are three volumes in this series, all of which I own. This is another take on the outlaw, and is seen to give him a new light and make him much more exciting and thrilling. This is PG rated and is suitable for children, as long as you don't mind them watching the odd sword fight. Since 2006, a new series of Robin Hood was shown on the BBC and most recently series 3 is on our screens. I watched the first episode of series one and since then have ...
