What does this box design, layout and style look & feel like?
The box is a white colour with Braille embossed-like writing on the front 'greeting' you to the phone. The inlay is very colourful with landscape picture covering the whole area. There is magnet device on the end of the close for it to connect when you need to close the box. There are two compartments to the design.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of O2 Cocoon
Advantages: versatile and snug Disadvantages: could be a little more structured
I bought the cocoon to go with my phil and ted sports buggy (with double kit) and found it to be very useful not only to add comfort to the buggy but also to use on its own as a carry cot. It fits into the buggy when it is in the complete recline position and is useful because you can move the baby from the buggy without waking her/him. The see through panel at the rear of the pushchair means that you can see the baby in the cocoon and can remove it from the front or the rear. The velcro patches helps the cocoon stay secure within the buggy but there really is not much room for it to move around when placed in the buggy so it is quite secure. I used my cocoon with the double kit and found that it fits snugly inside the space between the extra seat for my toddler and the main section of the buggy. The baby is very well sheltered but also ...
Advantages: Presentation, design, merge monsters, voice acting, 2-player mode Disadvantages: Battles a bit short of depth, no real puzzles, lacking in exploration
Please note that my review and rating does not take into account the multiplayer aspect of this game.
Despite the conflict between the people of Parel and the monsters known as Minions residing in the forest, the village of Syrus would eventually become one to coexist with it's surroundings. However, when many villagers were put into a deep sleep by a sudden attack from the Locusts of Apocalypse, it would be up to Levant, the new Cocoon master, to save them.
Jade Cocoon is a joint effort between developers Genki and Katsuya Kondo - whom is known for his work on on a number of Studio Ghibli animations. The game goes some way to capturing the feel of one, in particular I felt the story had shades of 'Nausicaa Valley of the Wind' with a dash of 'Princess Mononoke'. There are a handful of anime sequences here which, although they look ...

DVD Description
COCOON and its sequel THE RETURN: COCOON: A group of senior citizens residing in a rest home find their lives turned upside down after they are offered the gift of eternal youth by benevolent aliens in Ron Howard's wonderful tribute to the human spirit. Brian Dennehy is Walter, an alien who returns to earth to rescue 20 of his friends now hibernating in cocoons off the coast of Florida. With the help of a charter boat captain (Steve Guttenberg), the cocoons are stored in a deserted swimming pool. When three men from a nearby retirement village (the charming Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, and Hume Cronyn) sneak into the pool for a swim, they discover what seem to be oversized oystershells in the water. Suddenly they feel physically and spiritually rejuvenated, believing they've found the long elusive Fountain of Youth. The men's frisky behaviour causes something of a controversy in the retirement village as residents are forced to choose between a second youth or accepting the more natural ageing process. The ensemble cast of experienced actors, including Ameche, Brimley, and Cronyn as well as Cronyn's real-life wife, Jessica Tandy; Maureen Stapleton; Gwen Verdon; and the skeptical Jack Gilford all bring a dignity to the film's youthful, spirited theme. COCOON, one of the best films of the 1980s, is a heartwarming story that should be treasured for generations. COCOON 2: In director Daniel Petrie's sequel to the smash hit COCOON, the retirees who chose to leave earth to live forever return home for a temporary visit with their loved ones while their alien escorts attempt to rescue a cocoon dislodged by a pesky oceanographer (Courteney Cox). Don Ameche is back as Art Selwyn, with his friends Ben Luckett and Joe Finley and their wives, Bess (Gwen Verdon), Mary (Maureen Stapleton), and Alma (Jessica Tandy). They rediscover the value of human emotion and the fragility of their own lives as they visit with their old friends and remember what it's like to live on earth. As the group of friends reconsider what life would be like if they returned permanently, they shop, party, and make some miraculous discoveries about the future of their relationships. Before they decide whether to stay on Earth or return to space, they must help their alien escort Kitty (Tahnee Welch) rescue an alien cocoon from the hands of the government, with the help of her old friend Jack Bonner (Steve Guttenberg). Once again the elderly friends must debate whether to stay or to go and consider whether it is better to die surrounded by the people one loves or live forever, separated from family and friends. This charming sequel features delightful ensemble acting from its fine cast of stars, including Elaine Stritch and Jack Gilford in dynamite supporting roles.
