Dog Racing (DVDi)

Advantages: cute, good for the Year of the Dog
Disadvantages: retired, price not guaranteed

...Company: I think every little kid had at least one TY beanie if they were a 90s child. Its something that we used to talk about at school all the time, meeting up at each others houses each weekend after we had just spend all of that week's pocket money on the latest editions. I had quite a large collection, with quite a lot of different animals. I had a good few dogs, one of which is called Dog. Dog: The name Dog is hardly anything to get excited about! You;d think TY could have came up with something a bit more original wouldn't you? But this name is understandable. For, Dog is not just any Dog, but he is a Zodiac Dog! Released in 2006, he represents all the Dogs out there. Personally I am a Monkey (zodiac, not real!) but I think this dog is adorable! He looks a little like a pug in my opinion, and has golden orange fur. He looks... Read review

Advantages: great film
Disadvantages: n/a

...I watched this film one Sunday afternoon and I could not believe that I had not seen it before this was a great children's film and was very entertaining.

Advantages: Brilliant fun family film, would make a great Disney ride!
Disadvantages: Not a classic

...either but human form is more realistic than robot. He looked more like something out of Star Wars and I just felt this didn't fit with the general idea of aliens that the film carried. Race to Witch Mountain is a remake of the 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain which has been modernised to create a much more exciting and adventurous film. With Disney's spark of magic, and lots of action and special effects, this makes a brilliantly fun movie which will be entertaining for the whole family to watch. As I was watching the film I could just imagine what a perfect name and ride this would make at the Disney parks so I'm hoping that it will spring up somewhere within the next few years! Running time: 98 minutes Certificate rating: PG Director: Andy Fickman... Read review
