You can't find a better cartoon box set than this

Disadvantages: Price can be off putting for some but use price search to get better price

...Tao on their journey to the Mysterious Cities of Gold when it was broadcast in the beginning of the mid-80's. This DVD boxset includes all 39 episodes in a fantastic six disc box set. Even though I have to admit they haven't upscaled the picture quality to DVD standard, you'd be hard pressed to find such a good quality cartoon thesedays. This box set will appeal to both people who watched this series when it was broadcast, as well as to new watchers. ...
...They have many adventures along the way while trying to reach the Mysterious Cities of Gold, picking up a few friends along the way such as Mendoza (who rescued Estiban from the arms of his father when their ship was skinking at sea), Sancho, Pedro, as well those who are trying to get to the Cities of Gold for their own purposes (the baddies - sorry had to be said this is what I used to call them when I was a kid), encountering people from several ...

Coraline Details: Directed By Henry Selick Release Date8 May 2009 Certification PG Runtime 96 minutes Starring Dakota Fanning Teri Hatcher Jennifer Saunders Dawn French Keith David John Hodgman Robert Bailey Jnr Introduction When this film was advertised on TV, the words my 13 year old brother used were “that looks rubbish”, myself, I thought it looked quite good. I usually love animated films, and I loved the ...
...had nothing to do with Coraline as far as credits are concerned, though I cannot say he didn’t do some art work behind the scenes as I wouldn’t know. So just to clear things up, Tim Burton is nothing to do with this film! :) So anyway, I decided to watch this film on Movies on Demand last night with my husband, I had heard it was a little scary, and that although it had been widely acclaimed, it wasn’t really suitable for young children as it did ...

The Scariest Child's Movie EVER.

Advantages: good voice acting, amazing animation
Disadvantages: a bit scary for little kids.

When Coraline first came to our cinema screens I was looking forward to watching it, until my mum, step dad and sisters told me it wasn't very good. I am quite easily influenced when it comes to films so I decided to steer clear of it despite my boyfriend saying 'Noo, you're really going to like it!' - as I'm a fan of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach" - none the same but with some amazing animation and a bit of a spooky ...

...then he is to. Unfortunately for Sid the eggs he "adopts" belong to a Dinosaur. The dinosaur takes Sid and his buddies embark on a journey away to rescue him. ~~~ My Thoughts ~~~ Right from the beginning of the movie when the hilarious and my favourite character Scrat appears on screen, I knew I was going to enjoy it. I wasn't wrong. Right from the beginning the movie is extremely funny and had me glued to the screen for the remainder of ...
