Review of Aladdin (DVD)

By Hook or by crook

Advantages: A change from the normal Pan story
Disadvantages: Poor acting and writing

Hook is a variation on the Peter Pan story, but rather than Peter being the 12 or 13 year old boy he always was, we find that Peter is a middle aged man, and a miserable one at that. Peter is now an a lawyer (no wonder he's miserable!!), spends more time concentrating on his clients than his family. He has been invited to be the key speaker at a function to honour Wendy, who's now an elderly lady who's devoted her life to helping orphans and Great ...
...a message from Captain James Hook pinned to the door. Hook wants a showdown with Peter and instructs him to return to Neverland to save his children. Peter of course, cannot remember Hook, and although Wendy tries to explain, he refuses to believe that he is Peter Pan. He calls the police, who put the disappearance down to a prank, based on the family connection to J. M. Barrie and the Peter Pan 'stories'. During the night, Peter attempts to sleep ...

Review of Aladdin King Of Thieves (DVD)

Great fun DVD with a stellar cast

Advantages: Funny amusing rib-tickler of a familly film (and that means you too!)
Disadvantages: A little formulaic but you can look past that

...then relax and enjoy, because Robots will entertain. Plot Summary The story is set in a Robot world where our hero protagonist Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan McGregor) is dreaming inventor who wants to go to the big city and meet the great inventor Big Weld (the wonderful Mel Brooks) to get new spare parts for his dad. The fly in the ointment in this is supplied by Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who is bent on making all of the old Robots obsolete, ...
...The Incredibles and so on. Robots is also one of these, with a well known cast lending their vocal talents to the story - for me that was a little distracting. However we are missing the principle audience of this movie, which (amongst others) is my 4 years old son, who absolutely adores it. We went to see it in the movies and have rented it twice in a week on DVD (cheaper buying it I hear you cry). He must be wearing a groove in the disc with the ...

Review of Robots (Gift Set) (DVD And Action Figure) (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 ...
