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.

...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)

Small Spys - Big Scale

Advantages: Entertaining, loads of ideas, amusing
Disadvantages: None

The original Spy Kids movie arrived with little fanfare, a small budget but a lot of ideas. $100 million at the US box office meant that a sequel would be a sure bet. However writer/director Robert Rodriguez had already envisioned this and knocked out a second movie within the space of a year. This is because Rodriguez has total control over his movies, he writes, edits, directs, produces, designs and even does some of the special effects. This makes ...

Review of Spy Kids 2 - The Island Of Lost Dreams (DVD)

Spy Kids The Real Heroes

Advantages: Really good story, Inventive, Great for the whole family
Disadvantages: This type of film has been done before

...rescue using all the latest spy gadgets. In the truest sense Carmen and Juni become Spy Kids. Spy Kids is the first film of the Spy Kids trilogy, directed and written by Robert Rodriguez. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara also star in the film which was released back in 2001. The first Spy Kids was a feature film that was extremely popular with children and so they released another 2 movies. What is funny about this film is that whilst Gregorio and Ingrid's ...
...Cumming) and Minion (Tony Shalhoub). Spy Kids was a huge success much more so than was ever anticipated. Due to the huge success of this film an extended version was made that includes special effects not shown in the original film. Special effect sequences were shown on this that were not previously affordable in the previous budget. These are shown on the DVD. This is definitely a film worth watching for its entertainment factor. It is bright and ...

Review of Spy Kids (DVD)

Stop the Sequels!!!.

Advantages: You don't always have to wear 3-D glasses.
Disadvantages: The Acting. It's Not 3-D.

Spy Kids 3-D Plot. At the start of the movie, Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara) the trilogy's junior James Bond comes out of retirement (Although we have no explanation why he retired in the first place), to rescue the mind of his sister Carmen Cortez (Alexa Vega), who has become trapped inside a virtual reality video game. Sylvester Stallone, stars as the main villain, "The Toymaker", who designed the video game to capture the minds of every ...
...why.) Once Juni get's inside the game, it's a world of computer scenery, special effects and made up creatures. He meets a bunch of beta testers who have been allowed into the game, and sets out on his quest to reach level 4, where is sister is being held. My Opinion. First of all, becuase this is a 3-D movie and you have to where old fashioned blue/red cardboard glasses I will tell you my opinion on this. Basically they are terrible, ...
