The Law's gone to the Dogs
Review of The Shaggy D.A. DVD by
Shroud
Advantages: funny without vulgarity, watchable for entire family incl adults, good underlying mesages, enaging storyline
Disadvantages: preferably watched after 1959's original version of The Shaggy Dog
In the 1970's Disney was churning out a lot of live action family films. Designed as a sequel to the popular 1959 film, The Shaggy Dog, in which a young boy, Wilby, uses a magic ring to turn himself into a dog and gets into scrapes, the Shaggy DA follows the young lad once again as an adult. He has graduated from university with a law degree, and is a respected member of the community. The town's district attorney is a crooked man, however, and tired ... ...Wilby decides to run for the office of District Attorney. Unfortunately, someone has stolen the magic ring, and he keeps turning into a hairy sheepdog. Who has stolen the ring, and will he be successful in his quest to restore justice?
This film is rather underrated. This is quality slapstick comedy, and while younger members of the family may not grasp the finer points of the storyline, they will definitely get the gags. The jokes are pretty high ...

Fun, though Swift wouldn't have been impressed...
Review of Gulliver's Travels DVD by
CaptainDisaster
Advantages: Very funny in places, decent storyline, great for kids
Disadvantages: The songs!!! Aaaauuuurrrrrggghhhh!!!!!
Gulliver's Travels is, as I am sure you already know, an all-time classic novel by Jonathon Swift, and is one of the sharpest satirical novels ever written. There have been many film / TV versions, few of which have adhered closely to the original storyline. On a compilation we got recently for a bargain basement price, I came across this version. As far as following Swift's overall storyline goes you can forget it, but that doesn't stop it from ... ...Potter films, this version of Gulliver's Travels is notable for being one of the first films to ever mix live action and animation. The storyline revolves almost entirely around Gulliver's adventures in Lilliput, the tiny land full of tiny people, where two empires wage bloody war over which end a boiled egg ought to be broken. I'm sure you know the basic story - Gulliver gets shipwrecked on Lilliput, is taken captive by its inhabitants who think ...

Worthy Third Installment
Review of High School Musical 3 - Senior Year DVD by
katygriff
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. It is the most fun and fantastic film and follows on from the first two very well due to its slightly more grown up feel and songs and dances. This review will hopefully tell you why this trilogy has been finished off perfectly with this fab third film.
Story of this film is that it is senior year at East high school and everybody ... ...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 ...

Advantages: Only £2 per film, Care Bears are great!

...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.
Care-a-lot is where the Care Bears live, and it's such a nice place to live, ...
