The Fearless Hyena (Ultra-Bit Edition)

Advantages: beautifully directed and acted martial arts film with a moral back bone
Disadvantages: subtitles

...Kung fu films are known for their action and choreography with little in the way of plot, Fearless, (choreographed by the guy who did all the matrix scenes). Is a story of 'Never give up'. It tells the story of a Wushu master and the journey he takes to becoming a true master of his art. With a bit of colonial history thrown in and breath taking scenery, Fearless is a rare fine, with amazing fight scenes and a role Jet Li was born to play, its combines action with morality to leave you with a deeper insight into Chinas past. With an uplifting message of "life is worth living"it is a movie to watch again and again.... Read review

Advantages: Entertaining, funny, sad.
Disadvantages: None

...I cannot say this is the best Disney creation as they are all brilliant, however the cast selection in this one is, without a doubt, one of the best. With Rowan Aitkinson as Zazu the bird, Jeremy Irons as scar, The lovable James Earl Jones as King Mufasa, Whoopi Goldberg as one of the hyena’s and Robert Guillaume ( Benson) as Rafiki the baboon to mention a few. It is hard to say who my favourite characters were as without even one of them, it would not have been the same. Timon & Puumba are hilarious. I love the spin off cartoons. The music was very powerful. Who says cartoons are for kids.... Read review

Advantages: great storyline don't loose interest
Disadvantages: Scar's gone

...My daughter and I both loved the first edition, particulary the hyenas. Thankfully the hyenas are still in the second story. We loved the hyena who had the hysterical laughter, each time he laughed we laughed till we cried. In the first one particulary loved the evil Scar, and thought maybe the second one would not be as good as his character had been killed off. It did lack that magic that Scar brought with the first one, but it was still very funny, and at times very sad. The music was great, and the characters are memorable. Would gladly recommend for any ages. Great for watching anytime of the day. It would be even better if watched with an extremely large bag of popcorn. I paid seventeen pound from Woolworths for this Dvd, but ebay sell them for £10.00, and Amazon sell for 11.99 for new and used.... Read review
