  'Walking in the Air'...with a Snowman?!

Advantages: I will never get bored of watching 'The Snowman'; a beautiful Chirstmas tradition
Disadvantages: Some may be annoyed that it has no dialogue, the animation may seem dated

...Christmas just wouldn't be the same without movies and television programmes; sure, there are a lot of repeats and some shows and films either excel or completely bomb when trying to spread the festive cheer but, for whatever reason, Christmas specials are compulsive viewing. Perhaps we are all too tipsy to care; perhaps we have eaten way too much food to be bothered to uncover the remote to find something decent to watch. Or perhaps, maybe we even ...
...- you will have seen the immortal Snowman at least once in your lifetime. Well, to be fair, it's not as if you've had to really, really search for 'The Snowman' movie in some far away, distant corner of the internet; just about ever y Christmas Eve or even Christmas Day you will get a chance to watch the cartoon snowman come to life and amuse a little boy, making all of his wildest fantasies come true. Ok, now he is an adult, he may have fetishes ...

Oliver Twist Review

Advantages: It wasn't to expensive
Disadvantages: Its very long

Oliver Twist is a interesting film. It keeps you glued to your seets and its a film for all the family with bits of comedy and emotion. The film is about a young boy which is an orphan called oliver who is moved around to different orphanages regularly. As he grew up he was forced to work and live in a warehouse. Afterwards he ran from the warehouse and ended up in london, here he was found by a man called Fagan who took him him and taught him how ...
...the parts when Oliver is being taught and his character devepment during the movie. He grows in confidence and learns much from Fagan. Oliver twist is a long film and some of the story may be deemed boring for some of the audience. On the whole Oliver Twist is a fantastic production and was well worth the money i payed for it, I would recomend this dvd and the book to anyone. It has a fantastic opening and a fantastic ending and should be watchted ...

Review of Oliver Twist (DVD)

Tell me, butterfly, have you seen the other unicorns?

Advantages: Extraordinarily faithful adaptation, well voiced, charming story
Disadvantages: Gratuitous songage

This is a review of the film only. The DVD is available as a region 2 from Amazon from £3.98. It is easy to forget, in the computer age that is 2009, that animated films were once all hand drawn; each cell painstakingly illustrated; backgrounds pencilled and inked, the artists’ hands shaping the final product. A Ralph Bakshi film is immediately recognisable as coming from his studio, and instantly distinguishable from an offering from the Disney ...
...the late 20th Century may seem primitive, lacking the 3D rendering of today’s computer generated products, and also lacking the consistency of style that most modern animated popular cinematic films seem to have. The Last Unicorn dates from 1982, and comes from the pen of Peter S Beagle, adapted by Mr Beagle from his novel of the same name, and the directorship of Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr. It follows the story of the eponymous Last Unicorn ...

Danger Mouse Vol 1

Advantages: Count Dukula, Biographies
Disadvantages: No programme menu selection

At 9.99 you can't lose, right? Six episodes of the worlds greatest detective packed in with Count Dukula's first ever episode. Absolutely class. Stories of exploding custard, stealing listening stations and killer washing machines are mixed with the humour that can only be found on "Dangermouse". And if that isn't enough David Jason does a voice in the series. If you are feeling like you want to relive your child hood, or just want to just get ...
