* A bugs life *

Advantages: Enjoyment
Disadvantages: None

...life< I found that a bug’s life was a great film for both adults and children alike. I thought Flick had some great ideas and used his ideas really well and imaginative, encouraging children to be like him, I loved his inventions and how he carried it through to a conclusion, I also like it how he apologised and how he tried to make amends. Being a student studying childcare I found this film to be a great way to calm children and let them relax. ...

Review of A Bug's Life (DVD)

Lion king 2

Advantages: great storyline don't loose interest
Disadvantages: Scar's gone

My daughter and I both loved the first edition, particulary the hyenas. Thankfully the hyenas are still in the second story. We loved the hyena who had the hysterical laughter, each time he laughed we laughed till we cried. In the first one particulary loved the evil Scar, and thought maybe the second one would not be as good as his character had been killed off. It did lack that magic that Scar brought with the first one, but it was still very funny, ...
...the characters are memorable. Would gladly recommend for any ages. Great for watching anytime of the day. It would be even better if watched with an extremely large bag of popcorn. I paid seventeen pound from Woolworths for this Dvd, but ebay sell them for £10.00, and Amazon sell for 11.99 for new and used. ...

Review of Lion King II, The: Simba's Pride (Animated) (Collector's Edition) (DVD)

Disney's Pride Too

Advantages: Good storyline
Disadvantages: Songs are not as good as the first movie

The Movie Lion King II: Simba's Pride is a sequel to the film Lion King. The storyline puts Kiara, Simba's daughter, as the main character to which the story evolves. This is a direct-to-video film so it didn't have the chance to be seen on the big screen unlike the first Lion King movie which gained much popularity and media mileage. I personally didn't even know there was a sequel until I saw the poster online. I loved the first Lion King ...
...monkey) holding up a lion cub on the Pride Rock presenting it to the inhabitants of Pridelands. The cub is the child of Simba, the Lion King and Nala. The cub looks like male to me but it turns out that this lion cub is a girl named Kiara. Kiara is as adventurous as his father when he was young. Being so protective, Simba delegates his trusted friends, Timon and Pumbaa to be Kiara’s jolly baby-sitters. In the first Lion King movie, Simba threw Scar’s ...

The adventures of a bug!

Advantages: Fun, great animation and cast to support the characters
Disadvantages: None

A bug's life was the second brilliant Disney and Pixar master piece to be released following the success of Toy Story and was released back in 1998. I know a lot of people didn't rate this film as highly as Toy Story which, to be fair, is fine as let's face it Toy Story was brilliant but, it still has that fantastic animation and great storyline with a great cast of actors and actresses to make it a top class film. The story: Flik is an ant living ...
...Pixar and Disney have employed a range of well known names to do the voices of the characters in this animated film. Some not as well known back then but interestingly are know very well known for more up to date roles. The main cast are below - Flik - Dave Foley Atta - Julia Louis Dreyfus Hopper - Kevin Spacey Dot - Hayden Panettiere Rosie - Bonnie Hunt Heimlich - Joe Ranft Slim - David Hyde Pierce Molt - Richard Kind There may be a couple ...

Review of A Bug's Life (Deluxe Edition) (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 ...
