I have a Dream

Advantages: Great childhood memories
Disadvantages: badly animated

...it. I've done one on THE FLUMPS, now its BODS turn... Yes I am talking about another one of my childhood programmes I used to watch.. and when I learnt, whistle along to the theme tune.. If you remember BOD you will know what I am talking about, he was an animated character (created in the 70's) who was very niave, did a silly walk,(and always seemed to be in a world of his own) along with his friends PC COPPER, (the policeman), MR BARLEYMOW (the ...
...I still remember shouting out the answers to some of the games at the end of the stories. Each story had its own way of teaching kids concepts of things. When I actually sat down and watched this, it bought back many memories and I couldn't believe that this BOD used to keep me amused while mum was busy. The animation was very simple, but very colourful. Well when I say colourful yellow was the biggest colour in Bods life. One thing I have noticed ...

Review of The Secret Garden (DVD)

A trip back to another world

Advantages: Childhood memories, classic films
Disadvantages: Sequel not as good as the first

... Escape to Witch Mountain 'Escape to Witch Mountain' was made in 1975 (directed by John Hough) and is based upon a book (with the same name, written in 1968) by Alexander Key. Blond haired Tony (Ike Eisenmann) and Tia Malone (Kim Richards) are orphans, and tragically their foster parents have just died too (we don't really find out anything about that - think they were old). They end up at some sort of children's home, and go to a school where ...
...coming back. However, the escape to Witch Mountain is not easy with Bolt and Deranian hot on the children's heels. More of my thoughts… To say more would be to give away too much of the plot (and I fear some might criticise me already - but it was all relevant, I couldn't miss anything out!). This is however a typical Disney film from that era. There's drama and a bit of a car chase, there's naff special effects, and there's a happy ending ...

A Cussing Travesty

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I decided to go to the cinema and watch Fantastic Mr Fox . Having been a fan of Roald Dahl as a child, I was very keen to see how the film turned out - although to be very honest I think I'd forgotten a lot of the book . The story is about Mr Fox (George Clooney), a dab hand at stealing chickens . However, when his wife (Meryl Streep) announces that she is pregnant, just after the two of them are caught in a fox trap, he vows that if they survive ...
...family from their home in the ground to a large spacious treehouse . Even this life of luxury is not enough for him, and he longs to return to his wild animal days of chicken stealing - and with his friend Kylie , he launches a plan to steal food from the three farms nearbby, owned by Boggis, Bunce and Bean . Although he manages to successfully steal food, the farmers become aware of this and decide there is only one course of action, to team up ...

Wizards of Waverly Place – The Movie Please note: This review is on the film only - not the DVD! When you leave your childhood behind, you are expected to grow up, perhaps watch serious documentaries and news channels – yeah right! With my own daughter as well as my younger brother and sister there is always some sort of childrens programme on the television and I have to admit that secretly I actually enjoy some of them, especially some of the films ...
...characters backgrounds etc. Wizards of Waverly Place is a relatively new series that originally aired in 2007. was created by Todd J. Greenwald, and stars Selena Gomez, David Henrie and Jake T. Austin, as three siblings with magical abilities. As I write this review, it has just began showing its third series. The series is about the Russo family, mainly the three sibling wizards; Alex, Justin and Max (Alex being the middle sister – not a boy!). ...
