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.

Walk the llama llama

Advantages: Funny, family friendly
Disadvantages: None, really

...Disney films, they are, on the whole, so incredibly watchable, with things to appeal be you 2 or 20, 8 or 80, and everything in between. I find them clever, but not in a frustrating way that means I can't enjoy them at face value. This review is of the Disney film The Emperor's New Groove, what I believe to be the best Disney since Toy Story 2. They have had a bit of a bad patch over the last decade or so, well I think they have, but this is of something ...
...Emperor's New Groove at the cinema. I was still at school, and due to the price of cinema tickets and the fact that my village has a barely existent public transport system (only 1 bus after 6pm, and that's not reliable), I very seldom went to the cinema at the time, still don't as a matter of fact, but The Emperor's New Groove appealed sufficiently that I begged and cajoled until I was given a lift to and from the Metro, so I could get into Newcastle, ...

Review of The Emperor's New Groove (Animated) (DVD)

Out of the toy box and into the barn

Advantages: Fun packed adventure; really witty; great development of characters, DVD special features
Disadvantages: None

Toy Story 2, released in 2000, is the sequel in the Pixar animation to Toy Story which was orginally released in 1995. I usually find that sequels are never as good as the first, mainly because you tend to loose some of the traits of characters, the plot seems quite desperate and overall, you feel like you aren't learning anything new about the characters at all. This, however, is a complete exception and I rate it high above the first. The adventure ...
...lot more, 'adventurous'. The first Toy Story focusses primarily in the boy, 'Andy's' room with a small adventure out to a 'Pizza Palace' where the two main characters are Woody and Buzz. The other toy's characters are skimmed over the surface. With this film, it not only incorporates nearly all the characters into the adventure (such as Mr Potato head, Hamm the piggy bank, Rex the dinosaur and slinky the dog) but the adventure is more daring, plus, ...

Toy Story 2

Advantages: Fantastic special effects all done by computer
Disadvantages: none

If you thought the original Toy Story was the best Walt Disney film ever then you need to see the sequel.As if this film isnt comical enough on its own imagine the voice of Tom Hanks(Woody)and Woody Allen(Buzz Lightyear)playing the two main chracters they obviously worked very well together.As you try to recover from the original fits of laughter you experienced in Toy story 1 you will find your self right back there.As andy heads off to summer camp ...
...toy trys to understand there backgrounds Woody realises he as never just been a standed on the market cowboy doll.He soon comes to learn he ia a rare cowboy doll who is wanted by a museum as he once was the star of his own t.v series.I wont give no more away just make sure you wacth this great second part to a already fantastic film. ...
