Advantages: Positive message about saving rain forests
Disadvantages: Scary monster may be intense for very young children

My two kids (between ages of 4 and 9) loved this animated movie and would watch it over and over. It has lively music, an appealing story line about a fairy rebelling against the status quo, but then learning the important lesson of protecting her home and loved ones. It has a lot of magic (duh, fairies), but the fruit bat (played by Robin Williams) provides one of the best manic Robin Williams comedy routines around. This may not be adivsable for ...
...evil character who comes very close to killing all the very likeable main characters. He is truly demonic in his characterization. Lots of loud, frightening scenes at the end which would definitely have frightened my son if he watched when he was 2 or 3. However, for kids between 5 and 10, I recommend this movie highly. My kids loved it and I think your kids would love it, too. ... Read review

...child there same age likes spider and see's them as a friend rather than something you point and scream at. Most children, when they see a spider, will run away from a spider and be extreamlly scared of something that isnt that scary! Another good reason about this dvd is that its an animation. This can always be a good thing because if a child gets scared of something that they see on the dvd, you can always tell them ''its only a cartoon, it isnt ... Read review

...the genre of the film Aladdin help it appeal to a wide audiences and not just children. Walt Disney, one of the best companies in family entertainment produced Aladdin. It has produced lots animated films , including Bambi (1942), The Jungle Book (1967), and The Lion King (1994).

...genre do this in Aladdin? Aladdin is the archetypal battle between good and evil with a twist, the genie and this is one of the reasons I love Aladdin. Aladdin meets the narrative theory of Propp, as it is a fairy tale, that there are 8 character roles and 31 functions that move the story on. You can see some of this in the sequence I have chosen in my sequence there is the 'princess' (Jasmine) the 'hero' (Aladdin) and The 'helper' (Genie and the ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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, ... Read review
