...some point in their lives. Dumbo was the 4th ever animated film made by Disney and was released way back in 1941.

Advantages: An Oldish Disney Classic
Disadvantages: None!

...get the best buy. Dumbo is the story of of an Elephant, who huge ears make him a mockery amongst the other circus elephants and land his Mother in "jail" when she becomes aggressive in her defence of her son. This leaves Dumbo as an outcast, with no friends and worse than that; he is put in with the clowns in the circus rather than the elephants. His only real companion is a friendly little mouse, who looks after him and adivses him throughout the ...
...for those of you (a minority, I am sure) who have not yet seen it, it becomes apparent that Dumbo's ears enable him to fly. He begins flying with a magic feather held in his trunk, but finds himself able to to do so without the feather when needs must.

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: None

I love High School Musical and I saw the third one at the cinema last weekend now for the second time as I love it so much.

...This film shows that the high school musical franchise is as strong as ever and the third installment still captures all of the Disney magic and once again leaves the audience wanting more. I have to say that this film is definitely one you should go and see if you want a couple of hours of pure fun. The film lasts for just under 2 hours which seems long but it goes by in a flash and as always with these films it is a Universal certificate. You ... Read review

...of water and watching the Care Bears movie? I was quite surprised that hubby didn't even object to this, and actually seemed quite excited about the film! He must have been feeling delicate too. Care Bears - The Movie I used to like the Care Bears - I was never a huge fan, but had a couple of the bears, including Birthday Bear (my favourite), and used to get Care Bears films out of the video shop along with My Little Pony, and Herbie goes ...
...film, it's the first Care Bear's film, and was released in 1985, but I'm sure I must have seen it at some point. So, onto the story In the orphanage the children are ready for bed, and want a bedtime story before they go off to sleep. So, the orphanage owner Mr Cherrywood (voice over by Mickey Rooney) tells them a story…..about a time when people stopped caring.
