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 ...

Christopher Robin Goes to Skull

Advantages: nice litle adventure with Pooh and friends
Disadvantages: not quite up to the standrard one associates with the franchise

...film for young fans of Winnie the Pooh, and it's one of the better ones though by no means the best. The animation doesn't have the look of the original 1960's film that charmed generations, nor does it quite have the final updated look we are acostomed to from the Tigger Movie and the TVseries. It's a transitional piece, where the new drawing style and palette of colours was still being developed from the 1960's offering The Many Adventure of Winnie ...
...to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh or The Tigger Movie, I suggest either renting it, or buying a cheaper copy for £5.99 from the Amazon marketplace (they are the same, just with the old style cover art that was the same as on the old VHS offering) instead of plonking out just under £20 for this. ...

Little People, Big Trouble

Advantages: Good things come in small packages! !
Disadvantages: none

The Borrowers! The film is classed as a "u" film, meaning that it is universal and suitable for all. It is a great family film, good for the rainy days. The film: Pod (Jim Broadbent), Homily (Celia Imrie), Peagreen (Tom Felton) and Arrietty (Flora Newbigin) otherwise known as the "clock family" being small isn't as easy as it sounds (or looks!) They are "The Borrowers" which are a family of four inch tall people who live under the floorboards of ...
...But trouble arises when the nasty local lawyer Ocious C Potter (John Goodman) threatens to have the house demolished...... "what will they do now?!!!" Well the borrowers find themselves thrown headfirst into a big bad world of adventure and fun fun fun! ! ! The theme of the film is Fantasy action drama! There's NO bad language No sex or nudity scenes However there's some very mild fantasy violence. I would recommend this film to all age groups ...

Land Before Time 5 - The Mysterious Island DVD

Advantages: cute characters, good story, good songs too
Disadvantages: is one in a series, ali isn't all that hot

Another classic film, the fith installement, to be correct, from ''the land before time'' series. Which of course, started off as one movie, but was then made into several thousnad more in a dire attempt to milk every penny out of a brillant masterpiece. Pretty much, a bit like James Bond or star wars, except these dinosaurs lack lightsabers and don't drink bizarrely named drinks that have to be prepared on the top of washing machines. By now, from ...
...you'll know I LOVE the old school films, especially of the cartoon variety, especailly the ever so cute Care Bears, My Little Pony, Biker Mice from Mars, Count Duckula, The Land Before Time, Poddington Peas, the smurfs and many, many others which don't get much attention today. This DVD statiscal info: Format: Animated, PAL Language English Region: Region 2 Classification: U Studio: Universal Pictures Video DVD Released Date: 10 April 2006 Run ...
