DVD Description
Smiggly (writer/director Joe Tucker) is one of life's losers, as is his friend Phillip (James Holmes), who works stacking shelves in the local supermarket. When Phillip's brother is left disabled and brain-damaged after a savage beating, the two unlikely heroes set out on a mission of revenge. Their journey takes them deep into the London underworld, where they encounter shady drug lords and gun dealers. The ensuing antics prove to be both shocking and funny in this dark comedy set against the lively backdrop of Notting Hill and West London.
Advantages: cute songs, enjoyable two part DVD Disadvantages: graphics slightly basic
..., but not as good as the second episode which has more vibrant colours and a more catchy lovely song.
Episode 2: 'The Quest for the Princess Ponies'. This story also split into 4 parts tells the tale of spike the dragon and the ponies. This is my favourite episode on the DVD and teaches a very important lesson, to be glad of what we have and that friends come in all shapes and sizes. A cute and original way of teaching the 'don't judge a book by it's cover' lesson. In this story Spike the dragon meets the Princess ponies when they are just in the middle of a big fight. They are arguing over who will be queen. The fight is soon over as is inturpted by a lava demon who comes and kidnaps the princesses! Oh no! The lava demon kidnaps the ponies so he can get his hands on their magic wands. The princess ponies must work together, with a little help from...

Advantages: Full of fun and laughs! Disadvantages: Not long enough!
.... Attempting to return the baby back to the village - which is now deserted, they run into the sinister sabre-toothed tiger Diego, who tries to claim back what he believes is his! As Manny and Sid are cautious, the three reluctantly team up to help return the human baby to his father. Although oblivious to Diego's true intentions.
Before the incredible journey ends, this highly unlikely herd will confront boiling lava pits, escape treacherous ice tunnels, crazy doe-doe's - besotted with their melons! Aswell as blossoming an unexpected friendship, cracking Diegos hard shell, aswell as unlocking why Manny really is moody and why he doesn't show many emotions - apart from developing a really great connection with the baby!
The final scene of the film ends with Scart showing up - washed up on a desert island!
Jack Black also features...

Advantages: Fantastic gig, vintage Floyd, rare footage, interesting take on a classic film Disadvantages: 5:1 surround sound would have been nice, no real band involvement

I discovered Pink Floyd back in 1994 when The Division Bell album came out. I had heard their music before then, as my parents are both fans, but I really got into them in 1994 and keenly started building up my Floyd collection. One day, in HMV...
