Wonderful Literary Chick Flick Trilogy Box Set

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages
Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long

...the wonder and story of Anne Shirley. If your not familiar with this movie trilogy or the books, let me help you understand in a brief summary. Anne Shirley is an orphan in the early 1900's who gets adopted (quite by accident) by an old spinster woman and her bachelor brother. She's full of imagination and kindness in the midst of being mistreated as a child. Her love of life and sometimes overdramatic personality wins her new adopted family over. ...
...first movie takes you through Anne and her childhood through around the age of 17. You see her go through the trials of being past around from Orphanage to foster home most of her child life. Her pre-teen foster care was with families that were only using her to babysit their other children. To say they treated her inhumane is an understatement. She's given up to an orphanage at the age of 12 and someone finally gives her an opportunity to be adopted ...

thomas the tank engine

Advantages: easy understanding for the kids
Disadvantages: none

Thomas the tank engine i find is very popular among young children and a fasination to alot of them too. My young child loves thomas the tank i think its more that the trains talk that fascinates them more than the actaul series. My son is fascinated by trains and it has also learned him about passenger trains and freight trains so it is also educational as well. The only downside is that any products related to thomas the tank engine are very expensive ...
...from the series. Thomas is a great buy for children they have hours nof fun watching the film and they watch it over and over again. The programme focuses on about 6 engines who all have names the main focus is thomas who is decribed as the best engine . The story basically tells you about a normal day in the train station apart from the difference is these trains can talk and have faces. Thomas the tank dvds and videos are available at woolworths ...

Lurrrvvvv the Bug

Advantages: All ages can enjoy it
Disadvantages: Lindsey Lohans version

I use to watch the Herbie films when I was really young and loved them. Getting older I have not grown out of this! Love Bug - When we first meet Herbie. With an excellent cast this film even those who hate car racing cannot not watch this film! Herbie is everyones dream car - though maybe not in body! He is clever, fast, cheeky and helpful. In this film we see him bought by Jim Douglas who realises there is more to Herbie than meets the eye. They ...
...sold him the car in the first place! The final big race comes up! It\'s Herbie or Peter - who will win?

The Fantastic, erm... Seven

Advantages: Suitable for families, hilarious, good value for money
Disadvantages: None really

I've always loved the Pixar films, let's face it - who doesn't have one all time favourite one. And getting all seven currently films for around £50 seemed well worth it! The films are really well packaged, they manage to fit 12 disks into an 8cm wide box, saving on a whole lot of packaging. They've made it really easy to flick through the disks and choose exactly which one you want to watch. There's even a little pocket where they put some postcard ...
...extra. The plastic that the CD trays is made of is not very thick, so is quite easily cracked - however sensible and careful use shouldn't see this product falling apart too easily. The films in this set are: Toy Story A Bug's Life Toy Story 2 Monsters Inc. Finding Nemo The Incredibles Cars Since you can find much more detailed overviews of these films elsewhere I will only record a short amount about each. Toy story : Rated as 'PG' Running ...

Review of Disney/Pixar Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

A magical, enchanting story

Advantages: Classic tale which has a good message.
Disadvantages: Like several other movies, not as good as the first one.

This tale starts off like many others with setting the scene, yet in a very confusing way. It is not clear of the time line as it does not directly follow on from the first movie. Despite the opening flaw it does offer some entertainment and with an original cast from the first movie, the music, along with many other Disney classics, is wonderful and charming and will capture the imagination of many generations. The basic plot sees to be that during ...
...the Christmas before; thus launching into a long tale in which the characters plan, sing, destroy, and save Christmas! The villain of the piece is perhaps more terrible than the previous, jealous character of Gaston. He comes in the form of Forte. Forte was the musician in the castle and when the spell was placed on the castle, he was turned into a pipe organ. He now feels useful because his gloomy music seems to be the only thing that makes the ...
