NEVER Throw Away an Old Pair of Shoes!!!

Advantages: Sweet Little Program - Still Great For Kids After All These Years!
Disadvantages: None....

...cute little kids show from the late 80's was created by James Driscoll and a suprise hit show, that seems to have been forgotten over the years. So imagine my surpise when i was on ebay and saw that it had been released on DVD! All 26 episodes as well let me add! Every episode ever made on one disc! AND All for £5.99!!! The show started with an old shoe repair shop, where the owner could never face throwing away the old shoes, that were beyond repair. ...
...up the shop everynight...this is where we are bound to secrecy....Can You Keep a Secret?......Good!.......The shoes come to life! But not in the back of the shop, no! In SHOE LAND! The very original characters, all had their own houses and personalities, from PC Boot, Trampy to Baby Bootie! Every episode lasted around 5mins, but they got up to allsorts of stuff in that time! The cartoon has stood the test of time and is still as enjoyable now, as ...

Worzels gone down under

Advantages: great family fun for everyone
Disadvantages: none

...that have never heard of Worzel Gummidge let me explain…(or check out my reviews about the early series…plug,…plug) He is a daft scarecrow who first hit the small screen in 1979. He was made by the Crowman, who has mystical powers which bring his straw filled creations to life, to scare the crows at Scatterbrook farm, (in Hampshire), but is soon causing trouble around the village, especially when he befriends Sue and John, two kids who just moved ...
...Each episode tends to see Worzel in one scrape or another, usually involving Aunt Sally but sometimes one of his many other acquaintances…. Well, that's the basic story of the creation of Worzel Gummidge, the lovable but very daft scarecrow. * Anyway, back to the review at hand… This new ' down under' series, starring the lovable magical scarecrow, was released in 1987, (six years after the final Worzel Gummidge in England) and given a PG certificate, ...

Review of Adventures In Babysitting (DVD)

Good fun!

Advantages: Dialogue, cracking pace, excellent animation
Disadvantages: May not be suitable for children who are old enough to understand innuendo

...for adults as well and Ice Age 3 certainly delivered on that front. I've seen Ice Age2 on TV but not the first film and never in the cinema. On top of that this was a 3D show. The story essentially follows Manny, the mammoth, his heavily pregnant wife, Ellie and Diego, the sabre toothed tiger as they venture under the ice to a land where dinosaurs are not extinct. They do this to try and rescue Sid, who feeling unloved due to the impending arrival ...
...subsequently been carried off with his 'children' by their real mother. In dinosaur world they meet Buck, the weasel with the Sylvester Stallone eyepatch and knife, the British accent (Simon Pegg voices him) and the literary connections to Captain Ahab of Moby Dick (both have been left injured by 'the great white beast', both are unnaturally obsessed and slightly unhinged by it). As a sideline, Scratt is still seeking his acorn but this time there ...

Review of Ice Age 3 - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (DVD)

"I thought you guys were extinct?"

Advantages: amazing picture quality, good fun for all the family!
Disadvantages: Cant think of any.

I bought my wife Ice Age 3 for Christmas. She asked for it. Can't say its my type of film, but being a loving husband I sat down and watched it with her anyway. The first thing that struck me, being a blu ray, is the amazing quality. Animated films and comic-esque outings (like the Simpsons) always take full advantage of the High Definition nature of blu ray and make a movie a pleasure for the eye to behold. Ice Age 3 is quite possibly the best example ...
...were apparently living below the ice and meeting a swash buckling weasel who helps save the day. All the while, we get to watch the fun adventures of the little chap chasing his acorn, that have been present in the past films. This time, there's a love interest!! Its quite a good watch and plenty of fun for all the family. The usual deleted scenes and such are present, I can't say I watched them though, sorry, but its not my cup-of-tea, as I said. ...
