Nothing but class and humour thoughout

Advantages: Excellent value and a timeless classic that you would watch time and again.
Disadvantages: Not quite the same if you don't watch it with the kids.

If you havn’t seen this yet, then where have you been? A masterclass in children’s entertainment from the creators of Shrek and Toy Story. With a classic sense of fun, humour and adventure with a cracking storyline that appeals to the younger and adult audiences. Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and many more bring the characters to life in a manner that draws you into the film and twangs those emotional strings. The town of ‘Metropolis’, ...
...setting where the energy of the town is reliant on the screams of children living in a parallel universe and collected by monsters that live at the bottom of your bed. The World is turned upside down by the arrival of ‘Boo’ in an hilarious and heart warming tale. This is a timeless classic that will continue to bring on the laughter for years to come. I have seen the film more than once and each time it delights as you notice different adult quips ...

Finding Nemo is a superb family film, guaranteed to entertain.

Advantages: Great for all ages
Disadvantages: could have included more soundtracks.

Finding Nemo is a fantastic film for all the family. The visual effects are super, the storyline is easy to follow without being the least bit boring and the characters are all unique and entertaining. The comedy is simple enough to get the kids laughing out loud but is also genuinely funny for the adult viewers. Dorey's lack of memory has the audience shouting out loud to remind her of things she has forgotten and Marlin's emotional journey of accepting ...

...I enjoy watching these Barbie films with my daughter and she loves watching them over and over again :) This is a well told story, that you feel safe letting your young children watch, they are definitely aimed at the younger child, with the added bonus it can pull mummy in to :) Its not very often you will find a film you feel safe letting your children watch on their own, even when you put new programmes on the telly, you don't know what they ...

Double trouble for Noddy

Advantages: Entertaining for Little one's
Disadvantages: THere is now a new version of the show on TV

...set contains two DVD's Noddy & the new taxi and Noddy island Adventure They are both rated U Packaging IT does come in a cardboard box that contains two separate boxed DVD’s The First DVD :Noddy and the Taxi Noddy and the Taxi states on the front cover suitable for ages 1-6 years which I tend to agree with not due to content but because I would imagine a six year old would have lost interest although I still enjoy watching Noddy. The ...
