Can you feel the love tonight?

Advantages: EVerything
Disadvantages: None

...am actually viewing and re-viewing The Lion King a million times for the purpose of my university dissertation. Believe it or not, despite having watched this movie thousands of time, I am still not fed up with it. I personally think that The Lion King most certainly deserves its title as one of the highest grossing movies in Disney Cinema. It is a movie that I particularly appreciate because of it clearly differs from the other Disney films that ...
...appreciated all over because of the wide rage of thematic elements that it offers, and also because of the originality in which Disney managed to convey many strong emotions and quite a few moral lessons for children. Plot: Mufasa is the beloved King of Prideland, and head of his pack of lions. Along with his wife, the Queen Sarabi, they are extremely proud and happy to include their first son, Simba in their midst. As Simba grows up, he lives a ...

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 ...

Review of Ice Age 3 - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (DVD)

"I thought you guys were extinct?"

Advantages: amazing picture quality, good fun for all the family!
Disadvantages: Cant think of any.

I bought my wife Ice Age 3 for Christmas. She asked for it. Can't say its my type of film, but being a loving husband I sat down and watched it with her anyway. The first thing that struck me, being a blu ray, is the amazing quality. Animated films and comic-esque outings (like the Simpsons) always take full advantage of the High Definition nature of blu ray and make a movie a pleasure for the eye to behold. Ice Age 3 is quite possibly the best example ...
...were apparently living below the ice and meeting a swash buckling weasel who helps save the day. All the while, we get to watch the fun adventures of the little chap chasing his acorn, that have been present in the past films. This time, there's a love interest!! Its quite a good watch and plenty of fun for all the family. The usual deleted scenes and such are present, I can't say I watched them though, sorry, but its not my cup-of-tea, as I said. ...

PAINT THE WHOLE WORLD.

Advantages: THE KIDDIES WILL LOVE WATCHING IT
Disadvantages: NOTHING

RAINBOW "Up above the streets and houses, Rainbow climbing high, Everyone can see it smiling over the sky”. “Paint the whole word with a Rainbow” First aired in 1972 and ran for an incredible 20 years and contained an astonishing 1071 episodes. The general format was, what is quite common now, where it would be on twice a week, usually for around 15 – 20 minutes. It was aimed squarely at kids and contained some iconic figures that ...
...revolved around adventures to go on, usually around the house, or more likely problems to be solved. It would always be resolved by the puppets or by a song. Cast: = Zippy Loud and opinionated and always right about everything, well in his mind. George A shy pink hippo, go figure? He was always getting into trouble. Bungle A huge brown and very clumsy bear. Very unfrightening and a bit dozey. Geoffrey The father figure of the group and ...
