A great modern adaptation of the Greek myth

Advantages: Great songs, good character development.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of...

A consistently underrated Disney film, Hercules contains all the traditional disney magic with the twist of a Gospel-feeling soundtrack. Based on the Greek myth Hercules is a film about the son of Zeus (King of the Gods) - a boy that due to Hedes and his evil henchmen's work is rendered mortal. Because Hercules is made mortal by Hedes he can no longer stay on Mount Olympus with his father and is raised on Earth by foster parents. However, he still ...

Battle between Humans and the Animal Gods

Advantages: Good story, Interesting creatures, It's a Miyazaki movie, Passable English dub
Disadvantages: Seems a bit violent for a PG at times

...his quest and we meet Princess Mononoke (princess of spirits) whom turns out to be San, a girl raised by the wolf Gods. There we also discover the cause of the boar God's hatred as well as an ongoing dispute between humans and the animal Gods of the forest spirit. Will they settle their dispute and will Ashitaka lift the curse on his right arm? Princess Mononoke is a Japanese animation (or 'anime' to myself and many others) from Studio Ghibli and ...
...few. The animation style of Princess Mononoke is very similar to the other Miyazaki movies and doesn't have the classic anime character design whereby the girls have gigantic eyes. It's a more 'serious' animation style although still recognisable as something that originated from Japan by those familiar with the anime genre. It was originally released in Japan in 1997 but released in the UK in 1991. The Japanese name should be Mononoke Hime (Hime ...

Another Ghibli work of art!

Advantages: Great film for all
Disadvantages: none

Well firstly this film is the work of studio Ghibli who happen to be one of Japans largest anime houses, and secondly this film has grossed something near to $150 million at the box office putting this film as one the highest revenue creating Japanesse films ever. Review;- The story follows a young man who has been injured by a demon boar when protecting his home from an attack. He then has to leave severing his ties with his home, to find a cure ...
...the cure and why the demon attacked in this first place. Soon he realises that it's man causing the problems with their thirst for iron and lack of care for the environment and that the great wolf demon (lord) and his human cub (Princess Mononoke) are only trying to prevent the destruction created by man. As an impartial veiwer our hero is there as everything comes to a climax, who does he side with and what difference can only he be? This anime ...

Review of Princess Mononoke (Animated) (Collector's Edition) (DVD)

Fully Entertainment

Advantages: Surprising, Adventurouse, Entertaining, and good animation.
Disadvantages: Dialogues are not that much clear according to the small kids.

Harry Potter is filled with full of adventure , action and mind blowing animations. When you once start watching it you will not get up even for pee. Becuase it contains lots of surprising events which raises your hair. Interesting is that Harry Potter is a very courageouse kid and his friends really remains with them till the end. Watching this movie is really money value movie. Regarding character of the movie and the story line, its amazing. ...
...The Hobbit and a witch in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. I also think that the emphasis on magic is different than its use in the book “A Wrinkle in Time”. If you found those themes objectionable in the Harry Potter books—they are very convincing in the film. ...

Review of Harry Potter - Years 1-5 (Box Set) (DVD)

Very funny Film

Advantages: movie recommended
Disadvantages: none

Charlotte's Web is primarily a book written by EB White, and it is a book that I remember having read and reread again and again when I was younger. I so loved that the characters were brought to life by the author and I was overjoyed when the animation is out to please me as well. Now, several years later they have done for a film and was recently released on DVD this week. Seeing that the weather was so bad I sent my boyfriend to choose the DVD ...
...of Julia Roberts. Charlotte's voice is perfectly produced by Julia Roberts, and it is truly representative of the charter in question wonderfully close to the original. Charlotte is the savior of the story that really intrigue continues with farm animals set about saving Wilbur's bacon! They tell him he can expect to be served on the table at Christmas, but want to see Wilbur for the snowfall is something they all want him to achieve. Charlotte games ...
