Enchanted's Enchantedly Enchanting

Advantages: Great cast. Great songs. Cleverly references other Disney films
Disadvantages: There's a really annoying chipmunk

...on her way into an enchanted fountain, where there is no 'Happily Ever After'…and sends her to New York City (the REAL one, not an animated one), for if Giselle married her step-son, then Narissa would no longer be Queen! The fountain transforms Giselle into a real life human. So, she has to get back to the land of singing, animated animals, known as Andalasia…somehow…but how will she get there? Along the way she meets and 'enchants' a real life ...
...get weirder Prince Edward jumps into the fountain as guided by Pip, a talking chipmunk (no sign of Alvin, Simon or Theodore, thanks very much) to rescue his true love to make her Queen…But of course, the evil step-mother/Queen Narissa finds this out and sends her incompetent henchman, Nathaniel along to stop him…needless to say he doesn't manage it, so Queen Narissa needs to go herself. Amy Adams (Charlie Wilson's War) is stunning as Giselle. Her ...

Enchanting Enchanted

Advantages: Great fun for all the family
Disadvantages: not long enough!

I firth watched this film when I sent my husband out to blockbusters to hire "Stardust" on DVD and he came back with "Enchanted" instead! I have been hooked ever since! From a quick glance you would be forgiven for thinking this is a film just for children, especially little girls, but I have to say after watching it once, I even got my husband to admit he liked it! It starts off in cartoon animation, with Giselle, living in the forest with her ...
...a giant ogre but is saved by handsome prince edward.

She is not treated very well by the busy New Yorkers and finds herself alone and lost until a lawyer named robert and his daughter take pity on her and help her. Meanwhile edward, helped by pip (Giselles) ...

Review of Enchanted (DVD)

It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Advantages: Three special editions of 3 great family films
Disadvantages: Possible double film if you have bought one of the three before

...winning performance in the unforgetable Mary Poppins the magical nanny who comes into London on the wind and enriches the lives of two children, Julie Andrews'voice sparkles especially when she sings "feed the birds" Dick Van Dyke's accent may not be great but his superb singing and his endless energy during the brillant dance routines is infectious. Then to Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan the little boy lost in the jungle and brought up by gorillas,is ...
...is a classic and the film manages to keep all ages interested.and entertained throughout. Finally Lilo & Stich one of the more recent Disney classics, the story of an alien & a little girl who find friendship and the bonds of family can survive anything even alien space authorities! Lilo is a great character who isn't the typical disney princess brand but has personality. The soundtrack features Elvis too so it's all good! There are loads of features ...

Review of Mary Poppins / Tarzan / Lilo And Stitch (Animated) (3 Special Edition Classics) (Box Set) (DVD)

Tarzan Special Edition/ Tarzan 2

Advantages: excelent animation and wonderful music and special features of Tarzan
Disadvantages: storyline of Tarzan 2

I absolutely adored Tarzan when I first saw it and I now have got the Dvd of it. However, I was very disappointed with Tarzan 2. However, I believe that very small children will enjoy Tarzan 2. The animation of both movies was fantastic, however the storyline of the second film was less than satisfactory in contrast to the first film's, which was fantastic. I felt that all the songs in the first film were very good and had very catchy music and lyrics. ...
...I feel that they have been repeating the same format used for other disney films. The animation is very sophisticated and you really feel as if you are in the jungle and surfing the trees with Tarzan. I would advise people to buy the original film, but not necessarily the sequal, unless you have a very young child. ...

Review of Tarzan - Special Edition / Tarzan 2 (Animated) (DVD)

Tarzan and Jane

Advantages: None that I can think of.
Disadvantages: Many - read the review.

...- just the film) Tarzan is one of those stories most people know (or at least know a version of it) or are at least familiar with. The story I know is the Disney version - Tarzan is raised by gorillas then meets Jane and falls in love with her. You know, it's one of those lovey dovey stories (although there is a lot of action in it - remember it's animated though, don't get your hopes up). Anyway, I spotted the sequal in Oxfam and it's a film I ...
...is little to do with Tarzan being raised by gorillas, which was a part I liked (I mean, who honestly wouldn't want to be raised by gorillas - it would be a welcome relief for me from our dangerous, violent, corrupt society). There was also far too much romance in it. It was all to do with Tarzan and Jane being in love and the central theme was Jane thinking about what to do for their aniversary. Another thing was that it wasn't just one story - ...
