Atlantis: The Lost Empire - A great movie for all ages.

Advantages: Great voice-acting and plot.
Disadvantages: Some plot holes and predictable ending.

...but I decided to watch Atlantis even though there wasn't a group of singing mice or Princesses in it. A cartoon about the lost city of Atlantis seemed too interesting to miss, especially since it was created by Disney. I wasn't disappointed either. The story begins with Milo Thatch, a young linguistic expert who is given the opportunity to search for the lost city of Atlantis. With the help of an ancient journal and a crew of explorers they begin ...
...could mean the end of Atlantis if Milo doesn't put a stop to it... I enjoyed the plot and storyline although I thought there could have been more time placed on certain storylines since there were a few plot holes and questions left, it also felt a little rushed around the end. There was some good character development though which helped push the story forwards, but the character Mole was just there for the humorous moments and didn't really have ...

Shrek's first Christmas

Advantages: Funny and entertaining

...not the complete DVD. Shrek is tricked into having a traditional family Christmas. However he has no idea how to do it, not only he never experienced Christmas he doesn't even know what Christmas is. So he sets out to find out how. A trip into town gets him a handbook of Christmas For Village Idiots from the bookstore. The story develops out of his attempts, interrupted by puss, donkey and the whole menagerie of fairy tale characters, using this ...
...babies. As Shrek tries to tell his own version of "A Visit from St. Nicholas (the night before Christmas), Gingerbread Man , Donkey, and Puss in Boots interrupt and each tell their own version of a Christmas story. Half of the movie tells us how donkey, puss in boots and gingerbread man experienced Christmas from where they came from. What they think about Santa Claus, and what does Santa look like, whether Santa Claus is a good or bad person. - ...

Black Beauty

Advantages: Fantastic storyline, soundtrack, anal and human actors
Disadvantages: Saw a crew member on an old version of the film that has since been corrected

...as Sean Bean, starring as Black Beauty's breeder and first owner. The footage and older camera filming adds perfectly to the timed setting of the late 1800's. I have heard people complain in the past that Black Beauty has an english voice. My view is, if the film was created in america, he'd have an american voice. No difference really! The bond between Joe, the clumsy, slightly thick stable boy, and Beauty, is a wonderful creation and reflection ...
...and humane living conditions, and how very different it is today. Black Beauty was wrritten in plight of the treatments horses, espeically working horses. Although this is the 5th version of the story, and as films are never exact to the film, it is the best ive seen. ...

Review of Black Beauty (DVD)

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. ...

Chorlton and the wheelies.

Advantages: MAGICAL
Disadvantages: NOTHING

Chorlton and the wheelies. This really took me back, Chorlton and the Wheelies and all the ensemble of creatures and cast. Included here are all 40 episodes plus a Christmas special. Charlton arrives in Wheelie world and immediately their whole world is brighter. Fenella, the witch, knows right away that something is wrong. Her persecution of the wheelies is under threat now that the eternally happy Chorlton has arrived. ...
...trying to undermine and make Chorlton sad. When Chorlton is sad the world is a darker and unhappy place. Fenella has a motley crew to aid her in her fiendish and predictably useless plans, they include, Claptrap, fenellas taking spell book, O'reilly, fenellas telescope, her "toadies" and "spikers and “Clifford” her son. On the other side of the forest away from Fenellas home called “Spout Hall” is the wheelie town ruled by King Otto and Queen ...
