BLISTERING BARNACLES! All Tintin's adventures?!

Advantages: All the gripping Tintin cartoons in one smashing box
Disadvantages: The theme tune will get stuck in your head

...books written and illustrated by the famous Belgian 'Herge'. These delightful stories are about a young reporter called Tintin and his faithful dog / sidekick Snowy. Tintin and snowy alway appear to get themselves into all sorts of sticky (and dangerous) situations with mobsters, the mafia and other such criminal ruffians. Highly entertaining stuff, with a few highly entertaining friends thrown in for good measure. Friends of Tintin that feature ...
...the memorable Captain Haddock (who is a little slow witted sometimes, and says a range of colourful, yet suitable for young ears, expletives). This is an absolute MUST for all Tin tin fans. This most excellent box set contains the cartoon series in its entirity, that is over 14 hours! It's presented in a set of 10 DVDs all in slimline cases with a Tintin biography booklet bound in a charming outer case. The outer case is made of sturdy cardboard ...

Review of The Adventures Of Tintin 75th Anniversary (Box Set) (DVD)

Good for kids & a trip down memory lane

Advantages: Good value for money, 13 hours of cartoons! can choose which individual cartoons to watch,
Disadvantages: None

A blast from the past, you could call this. I'm not sure quite how much I can say about this but considering how often I've thought that as I start to type out a review and end up surprised how long it ends up being, I'll give this one a go as well! This definately brings back memories to me, back when I was a young child at the weekend, Saturday evenings during the late 1980s to be more exact, I remember sitting down in front of the living room ...
...our room. The cartoons may have been old even then but I quite clearly remember my eyes being fixed on the TV, waiting to see what this cool character would do next and how he would infruriate that guy with the big nose every time (you know the one!). This DVD set is certainly good value for money, in my opinion, costing less than £20 and giving you over 120 (124 in total) of the original cartoons (which everyone seems to think are the best, I can't ...

The Muppet Show. The Opening number

Advantages: interesting to see how the show developed, the pilot episode
Disadvantages: not the best series for a casual fan to buy, Muppet morsels can be annotying, no listing of episodes

...about my favourite TV show The Muppets again. Disney (unfortunately) have bought out my beloved fuzzy puppets and to make their money's worth they have started to release box sets of the Muppet seasons. My old video box set ;s quality was starting to deteriorate due to overuse so I thought I would treat myself to Season One of the Muppet Show on DVFD when I saw it in the Amazon sale or a fantastic £17.99. The box set contains four DVDs and a whopping ...
...the Muppet Show ran for 24 episodes and was first shown in 1976 and 1977. The Muppet Show was a take on the variety shows that used to be on TV such as Sunday Night at the Palladium.. It was made up of different songs and sketches performed by acts such as the Electric Mayhem Band, Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear. These were held together by the capable flippers of Kermit the Frog. I am not usually one for going into detail about the packaging but there ...

Review of The Muppet Show - Series 1 (Box Set) (DVD)

Powerangers SPD Vol1-5 (Box Set ) DVD

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 ...
...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 excellent and would say it is worth a look. ...

Review of Power Rangers SPD - Vols.1-5 (Box Set) (DVD)

choo choo!

Advantages: keeps them quiet while you make dinner!
Disadvantages: they will want ALL the merchandise!

if this was my 2year old writing the review then it would get an excellent. he loves it. as soon as he comes down in the morning he says choo choo dvd. of course i dont let him watch it first thing in the morning! the dvd has a good selection of episodes though im sure they used to last longer. they almost seem cut short to make more stories out of each episode if you know what i mean. I also found some are on the dvd in the wrong order. for example ...
...sent away you are wondering why Diesel hates Duck. then a few episodes along the line (no pun intended) you find out that Duck played a trick on Diesel and got the trucks to laugh at him. It wouldnt have taken much effort for them to get it in the right order! that wont effect your little ones im sure, but if its a rainy day and you are stuck watching it too it will bug you! each episode lasts 5 mins or so and the music starts to bug you too. but ...
