Third Best 'A Christmas Carol' film

Advantages: Looks very Christmassy, Well Directed
Disadvantages: The people look creepy

...for those who live in a hole or have dementia, A Christmas Carol is the story of Ebonezer Scrooge (Jim Carey) and is passage by fire from twisted, grumpy, old miser who hates Christmas to the very opposite (except he stays old). After the death of Scrooge's business partner, Scrooge has got even more miserable and spiteful than ever and everyone fears and avoids him. Even his sole employee, Bob Cratchet (Gary Oldman) lives in misery, not allowed ...
...this film is so fantastic a telling, this would merely enhance the tediousness of an overly told story but the computer generated recreation and the direction of this film make it wonderful to watch. It’s directed by Robert Zemeckis, the man responsible for The Polar Express and Beowulf . He uses the same sort of 3-D capturing here that he used in those films. Basically this is a technique were he captures the movements etc. of real actors and ...

The little family just got bigger!

Advantages: great family movie

...Eric Allard Stuart Little is the delightful new family comedy, bringing together the two things kids love most...fun and pets.

The first Pokémon movie

Advantages: Well animated and illustrated
Disadvantages: Final battle is too long and takes-up too much of the mo

...the incredible success of the Pokemon animated series, leading to a global influx in the sale of Pokemon merchandise, it was only a matter of time until a movie was released. Simply named “Pokemon: The First Movie” the popularity of the franchise made for an expected huge box office hit all over the world. Before the actual film started you are treated to a mini-film, “Pikachu’s Vacation” is where Pikachu and the rest of the gangs Pokemon get treated ...
...of a very rare, unique Pokemon was used to clone and improve a whole new Pokemon all together. Unfortunately this is where there is some confusion as to there overall story of the movie, as in the English versions where is a huge chunk of the plot is cut-out, this absent part being an important part as well as strengthening the story, defining some of the key motives behind the characters aggressions and actions which where removed due to the adult-themed ...

Mickey's OUAC, The mice send a powerful message.

Advantages: Any child addicted to Mickey mouse clubhouse will love it!
Disadvantages: You will never again walk down the high-street with change at the end.

Mickey's once upon a christmas!!! Why is it that in real life we adhere to strict stereotypes of people, places and animals? Mice eat cheese, dogs chase cats, we KNOW these things despite the fact that we feed our mice pellets and dogs are wimps. The question was rhetorical, don't get philosophical on me now. My point is when it comes to cartoons, the very things which create and sustain these cliches, nobody bothers to correct them, assuming I suppose ...
...Nothing could be further from the truth. So I will be honest in saying that when I bought this DVD of three Mickey mouse cartoons for my daughter I was prepared for more "what shape is this triangle?" nonsense. I was not prepared, for a story more heart wrenching and tear-duct clenching than the start of the Lion King (you know the part) To speak quickly of the first two stories, in the first, donald's nephews somehow get christmas to happen every ...
