Family > Stiers, David Ogden Family

Tale as old as time........

Advantages: Animation, characterisation, tale
Disadvantages: Not so much action

Beauty and the Beast is a 1991 Disney feature film animation, and is one of the better of the more modern ones of the past 20 years or so, before the collaboration with Pixar took it to a new level. The film takes us to a castle, where a Prince has been cursed to take the form of a humanoid beast until he realises the importance of beauty that lies within a person. You see, the Prince is superficial, and in a way, this is Disney's way of slamming ...
...music, with its title song, Beauty and the Beast, sung marvellously during the film by Angela Lansbury, one of only a couple of recognisable names lending their voices to the film, Jerry Orbach being the other. I recommend at least watching this, even if you don't particularly want to own it. It's a timeless Disney 'classic' despite it being one of hte 90s, productions, and slots in perfectly with some of the older ones such as Pinocchio and Snow ...

Ohana means Family

Advantages: lovely quality of drawn animation, positive messages, realistic body forms and facial feautres
Disadvantages: some of the extras could have been left off without harm

...teens herself, struggles to provide Lilo with a home. Being young, she doesn't have the wisdom and experience their parents had, and so has certain, perhaps unrealistic expectations of Lilo. Lilo's parents understood her free spirit, and helped channel it, and with them gone, she has more or less lost her way. With Lilo getting into scrape after scrape, her older sister Nani is at her wits end, terrified she will be seen as incapable of caring for ...
...Lilo might find solace and be occupied relatively trouble free if she gets her a dog, so takes her to the local animal shelter. There, she and the local shelter assistant are horrified at the tremendously ugly and odd mannered dog Lilo brings out and names Stitch. It soon becomes rather obvious that Stitch is no dog at all. No, a Man in Black masquerading as a social worker arrives on scene to assess the alien situation, for the truth is, Stitch ...

NOOOOOOOOOOOO Stitch has tons of glitches

Advantages: fun family film!
Disadvantages: I'm going to have to say the special features

...minor voices) Dakota Fanning as Lilo Tia Carrere as Nani Chris Sanders as Stitch Kevin McDonald as Agent Pleakley David Ogden Stiers as Jumba Jason Scott Lee as David the Lifeguard This is the only film Dakota Fanning filled in as Lilo, because the original actress, who plays Lilo, was busy doing the series and therefore asked her friend to fill in. I don't want to write up any actors/actresses profiles as they are not needed for this film considering ...
...more around the friendship of Lilo & Stitch, only stitch is suffering from some sort of disorder and Lilo just thinks he's being naughty and mean to everyone because he is bored or he just wants to. Lilo ends up hating him and I feel soooooooo sorry for Stitch, he could come to my house any day! Anyway it's up to Jumba to save the day, as he realises that Stitch was not complete when he was made and therefore Stitch is going out of control, is it ...

God help the outcasts..

Advantages: Enjoyable songs.
Disadvantages: Slightly sad for younger viewers in certain scenes.

High up in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral lives a hunchbacked man who rings the bells every morning, wishing he could join the people down there in the streets but his Master Frollo forbids him to ever go down there. When he hears the celebrations of the annual festival of fools, Quasimodo just can't help himself and sneaks out of the bell tower to see the festival... A smash hit for all ages, showing people that beauty is not just on the ...
...of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and a interactive game controlled by your remote. The movie has been translated into several languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew and Greek.) and there are subtitles for people with hearing problems. I love this movie, the voice actor for Frollo (Tony Jay) was the best singer out of all of the cast and I'm glad I bought this DVD so I can play the songs over and over again. ...

Review of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Animated) (DVD)

Meet The Other 625!

Advantages: Great Family Film
Disadvantages: Not Part Of the Film Series!

...based around the Lilo & Stitch series, so they were responsible for this film not being in the series. The actors who play the characters are becoming more and more known as they grow older and older; however they are not people who you would recognise as they have just started a good career. The plot is about Stitch being Experiment 626. Due to him being the 626th experiment, created by Jumba. It gets you questioning, where the other 625 experiments ...
...Lilo and Stitch have to find a way to keep them all happy upon the island, and prevent them from destroying people's lives. I really do like this film, and I recon you will too. Stitch is too adorable to leave a DVD he stars in, on a shelf! I want to watch the full series but I believe there are a lot of episodes, so I shall wait. I also think that Stitch's predecessor experiment is also adorable, and also if I saw all the others maybe I would say ...
