Get into the groove!
Review of The Emperor's New Groove / Kronk's New Groove (Animated) by
piggypine
Advantages: 2 great movies in 1 great set
Disadvantages: You might have already bought the first film seperately
...King, Little Mermaid.............yet some of the less recognised movies are just as entertaining and well made.
I had never planned on watching "The emporers new groove" when I heard of its release in the cinema I presumed it was some cutesy spin on the "Emporers new clothes" fable aimed at young children and while it does teach those lessons it isnt in the twee way I had imagined. My sister was working at the cinema at the time and dragged me along, ... ...I was pleasantly surprised by the movie I saw and bought it on dvd release as soon as it came out. I discovered "Kronks new groove" as I was flicking through the Asda magazine just before christmas and, having loved Kronk in the original film, added the movie to my christmas list. I recieved the 2 disc box set(so I now have a surplus copy of the first movie) and was delighted that the 2nd movie was as good as the first, straight to dvd Disney sequels ...

A must for adults and kids alike
Review of Pinocchio (Animated) by
aliswan1
Advantages: Great story Great animation Great lessons learned
Disadvantages: Can be quite distressing to young children
...a legend in my house! Pinocchio is as everyone knows a puppet, who wants to be a real boy. The story follows his antics from being part of a puppet show to going to Pleasure Island the story really can be taken in two ways, children see the innocence in this little puppet and learn lessons about strangers, but adults see the darker side of Walt Disneys story telling and really it was ahead of time addressing alot of the issues that parent really ...

A bit scary for a PG
Review of The Spiderwick Chronicles DVD by
Treacle1983
Advantages: Characters, plot, special effects, magic
Disadvantages: bit scary for younger children
...and my favourite film is The labrynth!!
The story is based around a family who are forced to move into a house once owned by their mysterious great uncle only to uncover the amazing truth of the world in which they live. Protected only by a magic circle around their Spiderwick house our young family members must uncover the truth of their uncle's life work and over come evil that lurks closer than anyone would think. The young actors are great but ... ...fan of Weeds). The tempo is high and the style is similar to that of Harry Potter in terms of the music, camera effects and even some of the creatures, Although aimed at children there is plenty that will appeal to adults.
The film although PG is probably unsuitable for little kids of under about 8 as it does have a quite violent moment and is actually a bit scary. ...
