Wonderful Literary Chick Flick Trilogy Box Set

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages
Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long

...the wonder and story of Anne Shirley. If your not familiar with this movie trilogy or the books, let me help you understand in a brief summary. Anne Shirley is an orphan in the early 1900's who gets adopted (quite by accident) by an old spinster woman and her bachelor brother. She's full of imagination and kindness in the midst of being mistreated as a child. Her love of life and sometimes overdramatic personality wins her new adopted family over. ...
...first movie takes you through Anne and her childhood through around the age of 17. You see her go through the trials of being past around from Orphanage to foster home most of her child life. Her pre-teen foster care was with families that were only using her to babysit their other children. To say they treated her inhumane is an understatement. She's given up to an orphanage at the age of 12 and someone finally gives her an opportunity to be adopted ...

Also on this adventure, much to Shrek's distaste is a talking donkey, known as Donkey. ~~~ My Opinion ...
...get released Shrek still remains one of the very best. I would put this down to having something for everyone. There's the bright colours, fun adventures and funny characters for children to enjoy and there's, well, the same things for adults to enjoy. Shrek reaches a wide audience mainly down to its comedy appeal. Much in the same way 'The Simpsons' has simple obvious jokes for younger viewers and more subtle jokes for older viewers. There are also ...

Balamore-ish!

Advantages: Fun, great characters, catchy songs, very educational
Disadvantages: Can get irritating for mum and dad after a while!

Balamory is the latest of Harry's favourite TV programmes. We have a nice little routine in the mornings of eating our breakfast and watching a few of our favourite shows, and Balamory has now been added to that list. When it was on a while ago, he didn't pay it much attention to it, but lately the fun songs and colourful pictures and scenery really appeals to him so when we saw this DVD called Balamory: Mysteries with PC Plum, in Woolworths, we ...

It is actually filmed on the island of Tobermory in Scotland and features a colourful host of characters who live and work on the island. Each of the characters wears one colour and lives in a matching coloured house so that the children can easily identify them and start to learn their colours at the same time. Miss Hoolie is the main character in ...
