Twas the night before Hogswatch.....

Advantages: A very entertaining and funny programme.
Disadvantages: May not appeal to everybody as it is Fantasy/Discworld.

...set out to rescue the Hogfather and ensure that the Sun will return. I do hope that I have not given too much away. Those who have already read the book or watched the original Sky One production will know the story. A screen play is not the same as a stage play or the book upon which it may have been based. So this production does not follow the book word for word. Not every character from the book is present and some are not as prominent. Anybody ...

wanna buy some rubber nipples?

Advantages: a "hellovalot" of episodes
Disadvantages: not a massive amount of special features

looking for the best of ren and stimpy? this is dvd for you. 3 disks full to the brim of all the episodes from series 1 and 2 inlcuding the episode "mans best friend" that was banned from nickelodeon for being "too scary and violent for children" The sadistic, gross and violently stupid characters of john k's "ren and stimpy" have graced our televisions for over 15 years but where better place to start than at the begining? This dvd not only features ...
...if your thinking of buying ren and stimpy dont but the "simpsons" style individual episode dvds, buy this. its well worth it in the long run. Arguably the first and second season are the best due to the fact that the creator John K was kicked off his own show before season 3 and Nickelodeon watered down the episodes slightly. ...

What a journey !

Advantages: Great animation, some exciting moments, imaginative fantasy in parts.
Disadvantages: Story-line thin

...WIDE SCEEN DVD THERE IS THE OPTION TO JUST REVIEW THE FILM, AS THERE IS THIS OPTION ON THIS ONE ,THAT IS WHAT I HAVE DONE. Film only review Hubby and I had seen a few clips of The Polar Express since its release to cinemas in 2004 but had never actually got around to viewing the film. Christmas Day saw us sleepily relaxing, after pigging out a little in the afternoon, in front of the goggle box and so finally I managed to watch The Polar Express. ...
...there are some which have the mass appeal which means adults and children alike will enjoy. I did enjoy The Polar Express but feel it is definitely a children's film and only has limited appeal for adults. However it has been made exceptionally well. Assessing this film as one that is aimed at children it has a lot to offer:- The plot is really based around that coming of age period for small kids when they start to doubt the existence of Father ...

backpack, backpack....

Advantages: educational, simple to play, enagaging storyline
Disadvantages: makes kids want more lol

...you most likely know who Dora the Explorer is and all about her talking backpack. This game is on a DVD format, so your child will need a DVD drive on the computer they play it on. This means, if like us, you tarted up a Freecycled PC so your child can leave YOUR PC alone, you will need to fork out a few quid for a DVD player for it. This game is a natural extension of the TV series it is spun off from. The TV series has a computer game feel, with ...
...this to the library) with Dora and her backpack, and along the way, meets up with Boots, Benny the bull, Tico the squirrel, and others. They solve puzzles and explore on the way to the library, and once there, there are activities relating to the books each character wishes to return. Series staples The Grumpy Old Troll and Swiper the Fox are on hand to try to ruin the day, so watch out! All this fun and a bit of Spanish thrown in too! Needless to ...
