The Sword In The Stone

Advantages: Great family movie with good songs!
Disadvantages: A slightly slow start

This really is one of the Disney Classics. I love how magical this movie is. It tells the story of a young boy who is treated like a servant becomes to believe in himself with the help of the wizard Merlin and his owl, Archimedes, and ultimately becomes the King of England. The story goes that who ever is able to pull the sword from the stone, will become King of England. The sword was set fast in the stone and people came from far and wide to ...
...this, despite everyone believing that the only person able to do this would have to be big and strong. Has some great songs in it, very disney! and it has some really amusing moments. I especially like the bit where Merlin and Arthur turn in to squirrels and some lady squirrels fall in love with them and start chasing them around. The extra footage on the dvd is really good. There is a Sing-A-Long sections with songs from the movie, and even a ...

Determined to get Medfield in order to further one of his money making schemes in property, he sets his sights on destroying the college's reputation so that will face ruin.

...for its academic reputation as well as financially, but once again, his personal life intervenes. His absent mindedness may not have gotten in the way of his finally remembering to attend his own wedding, but with his distractibility still as big as ever, it does create friction with his wife and in laws.

Review of Son Of Flubber (DVD)

Higatus-Figatus

Advantages: Family film with all the features of a classis
Disadvantages: None - it's Disney!

**What was the film based on?** Based on the book by T. H. White, Bill Peet created a classic film, one which cleverly gives the reader the best of both worlds; a legend and Disney Classic. This film was made in 1963, brought out on video in the 1990s, and has recently been transferred to DVD. This change has drastically improved the sound and picture quality, and also allows the reader access to extra features. **What can I expect when watching ...
...is full of the magic, humour, songs and excitement that we have come to expect and love about Disney. We are kept enthralled by its fast-moving pace, colourful and musical characters and the struggle of good against bad. In true medieval style, a minstrel's song tells us of the predicament at the very beginning; the good king died without an heir, and, when war seemed imminent, suddenly a miracle occurred. The Sword in the stone. It came with the ...

The T-rex Trek

Advantages: More of those loveable characters
Disadvantages: A typical film number 3

...I wanted to see was Ice Age 3, mostly because I wanted to complete the series and find out what happens, having seen the other two films on the way out. Please bear in mind that if you have not seen the first two films, I do not recommend you read this review (even if that means I miss out on your rating!) That’s because if the film sounds like your thing, I will have spoilt both those first two films within this review of the third. So staying on ...
...all as eggs! If the Ice Age animals didn’t think their mother was scary enough, when Rudy comes along, they are really in for a surprise. He is a much bigger challenge for Buck, and an even bigger terror for all the others, when he makes mummy dino look a dwarf. Sadly we don’t really get that much communication from the dinosaurs as they don’t seem to talk, just “grr”. Admittedly this helps distinguish them from the others as the real predators or ...
