...video, every single week, from the video shop in my local town. I was obsessed with "The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe" and I could never stop watching it. The tale captured my imagination and everything about it was so magical and lovely. Years later, this is still one of my all-time favourite films. BRIEF PLOT SUMMARY Peter, Susan, Edmund & Lucy are evacuees from London, and move to stay with the Professor in a large house, where Lucy ...
...the house. Here she meets Mr Tumnus, who is under instruction by The White Witch (who calls herself The Queen) to capture and bring to her any son/daughter of Adam & Eve. Mr Tumnus, however, can't capture Lucy, as they have become friends, and instead he decides to tell her all about The White Witch's cruel reign over Narnia. When Lucy goes home to tell the others, nobody believes her, but then Edmund finds himself in the Wardrobe, and meets The ...

...and have never heard of Worzel Gummidge let me explain…(or check out my reviews about the early series…plug,…plug) He is a simple scarecrow who was made by a rather magical Crowman in 1979 (ish). Worzel first spent most of his early years living in a small village in Hampshire, intentionally made to scare the crows from Scatterbrook farm, but his curious nature makes him neglect his 'scaring' duties and is the reason for many of his troubles. ...
...story of the life of Worzel Gummidge, the lovable but very daft scarecrow who seems to find trouble where ever he goes. * Anyway, back to the review at hand… This two disc package contains 12 half hour episodes of the walking, talking scarecrow and his crazy, mischievous attitude to life Mickey and Manu are still his young companions, (taking the place of Sue and John in the original 79-81 series) and Bruce Phillips continues as the New Zealand ...

Oliver & Company

Advantages: Very sweet heartwarming film
Disadvantages: Looks a little dated

...computer animated sharper looking extravaganzas, Oliver & Company remains one of my absolute all time favourite Disney movies. It is a really sweet heartwarming film that follows the basis of the Dicken's tale about an orphaned kitten who is befriended by a streetwise dog who shows him how to manage life on the streets before he is adopted by a girl from a rich family and then kidnapped. The soundtrack to the film is one of the best in my opinion, ...
...she is quite lonely before Oliver comes along and wins her over. As you would expect with a Disney movie, it is a rollercoaster of emotion with sad bits and funny bits thrown in culminating in a dramatic ending where his street animal friends come to the rescue before a Disney happy ever after. I would highly recommend this film to anyone. ...

...2006, we are graced with the DVD format, to enjoy the spacousness of a DVD cupboard. Which is great you can fit like 30 DVD's in the space of 10 VHS cases. And is the main reason, together with the purchase of a DVD player, why we've traded almost all our VHS's for the newer DVD versions. The story tells the story of littlefoot, a baby 'longneck' dinosaur who becomes orphaned when his mother looses her life in a battle to defend her young with a ...
