The night they saved christmas blah blah

Advantages: Heart warming christmas film
Disadvantages: Not heart warming if you don't like christmas films

...The movie is based around Santa and his elves living in the North Pole. Now there are some nasty men who want to blow Lapland up (and Santa) in order to claim oil that is buried deep below. Claudia (Jaclyn Smith) and her three children have to beat the clock and stop the oil contractors from blowing Santa into smithereens along with his home and his little helpers, the elves. Although as I believe Santa is magical and would surely be able to move ...
...Anyway, Claudia's husband Michael is the leader of the project and is being pushed by his boss to have the job done before Christmas in order to make millions from the oil. The blowing up starts and the dynamite is on its way to demolishing Santa's home and his little helpers forever. Michael's children, (and the chief elf) in a desperate attempt need to convince Michael that Santa really does exist and not to carry on with the blasting and save ...

I have a Dream

Advantages: Great childhood memories
Disadvantages: badly animated

...it. I've done one on THE FLUMPS, now its BODS turn... Yes I am talking about another one of my childhood programmes I used to watch.. and when I learnt, whistle along to the theme tune.. If you remember BOD you will know what I am talking about, he was an animated character (created in the 70's) who was very niave, did a silly walk,(and always seemed to be in a world of his own) along with his friends PC COPPER, (the policeman), MR BARLEYMOW (the ...
...I still remember shouting out the answers to some of the games at the end of the stories. Each story had its own way of teaching kids concepts of things. When I actually sat down and watched this, it bought back many memories and I couldn't believe that this BOD used to keep me amused while mum was busy. The animation was very simple, but very colourful. Well when I say colourful yellow was the biggest colour in Bods life. One thing I have noticed ...

...is currently in love with Peppa Pig, so when we walked into HMV and saw shelves filled with £5.00 Peppa Pig DVD's we knew we wouldn't be walking back out empty handed. I gave my daughter a choice of 4 different Peppa Pig DVD's and she chose one by the name of 'My Birthday Party and Other Stories'. The DVD proudly announced on the front cover that it had won a BAFTA for best pre-school animation, but I think my daughter was slightly more drawn to ...

Review of Peppa Pig - My Birthday Party And Other Stories (DVD)

Marshmallows? No they're just fluffy balls!

Advantages: classic kids entertainment at it's best
Disadvantages: includes all the episodes so goes on a bit

I know many of the you out there may not remember this kids show that I remember watching as a small child on Sunday mornings around about the time that Bagpuss was on. Like Bagpuss there were only 13 episodes made but it seemed like many more than that back then. Repeats didn't seem to matter so much as they were only on once a week and children's tv wasn't available so much as it is now. We were lucky to have a couple of hours a day and so I think ...
...hats or bows depending on the character. They had small movable arms and legs and waddled a bit when they walked. The Background The series made in 1976 was created by Julie Holder as well as writing it. It was produced by David Yates using the stop motion technique which is a long painstaking process which means moving each character slightly and taking a shot before moving them slightly again. This same process is used a lot by Aardman Animations ...

THE PIGGY IN THE MIDDLE SHOULD BE FIRST!

Advantages: GREAT FUN TO WATCH AND CUTE!
Disadvantages: NONE

...This is the stories of Peppa pig and her family: namely Mummy pig, Daddy pig and little brother George. This is quite a deviation from the cars and other engine driven children's programs that I usually have to watch but my son loves it. The stories are only about 5 minutes each and are quite cute and friendly usually ending up with the whole family and other friends laughing out loud. The DVD is titled "Piggy in the middle" and has Peppa. George ...
...This stories shows Peppa trying to show George how to catch a ball but Mummy pig comes and shows them the game of Piggy in the middle. Soon Daddy pig joins in and all is fine. 2: FANCY DRESS PARTY: It is Peppa's birthday and everyone comes dressed up. Even George is dressed up as a dinosaur(his favourite) which he finds scary for a second. Then Peppa has to judge the best costume. 3: VERY HOT DAY: Peppa and George want to jump in mud puddles ...
