Fabulous Fortunes - Vol 5 - Wages Of War DVD

Advantages: Great character design. Interesting Stories
Disadvantages: A bit short.

...as twenty 3 minute shorts which were pretty much stand alone with a few common plot threads running through. Rather than squeeze all the cast members into 3 minutes they dedicate episodes to one or a few characters, for example Mace Windu and Yoda both have their own episodes. However to me 3 minutes is just too short and you're left wanting more. On the DVD these episodes are edited into a single episode which works pretty well and is much more satisfying. You can watch the individual episodes too if you like. The series itself compliments the prequels very well and in a lot of ways works a lot better than those films. This feels a lot more like the Star Wars of old - fun, action and adventure. This may just be that we find the kind of story the Prequels tell more acceptable in animated form. Or, without wanting to get too Star Wars fanboy... Read review

Advantages: Sucks you into a fantastical world
Disadvantages: this film tires you out just watching it because its sooooo adventurous

...skywalker who decides that he has wants an adventure and so they leave their home planet to go and deliver this message to the Princess' father. However Darth Vader gets there first and destroys the planet and so the film moves on from there..... Cutting the story short.... after having been captured by Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kanobi gets killed and they escape and then they join the rebel group after rescuing Princess Leia...and so the film continues with the rebels and our heros trying to save the universe from the Empire!

But here I shall name them so you know them Vol 1- The Phantom Menace Vol 2- Attack of the Clones Vol 3- *new... Read review

Advantages: Better Value
Disadvantages: None

...This is much better than previous ones. It offers a better value and my 4 year old enjoys it. It has very moderate action and is suitable for kids. My child enjoys it and would recommend this as a good buy. Different episodes totaly five. The special effects are outstanding and even a 36 year old like me was watching it with my son and was actually rivetted to the screen. I think at about £19.99 it is a good value 5 box set DVD, has excellent packaging to ensure the kids are not going to dirty or smudge the discs. The characters are really funny and interesting and so is the plot of the story. What I do like about it is that there is hardly any swearing which is quite important considering it does have moderate violence. But that is expected from any in this genre and it is popular with kids! The Special effects are really... Read review
