The first volume of PRETEAR, the popular mahou shoujo Japanese fantasy anime series, finds young Himeno miserable on her wealthy new stepmother's estate. With two stepsisters who ignore her and few others to talk with, Himeno thinks that things can't get any worse. However, she does not know that she is destined to become the Pretear - a girl who must merge with a Knight of Leafe to save the land from the Princess of Disaster, who is spreading demon larvae.
Advantages: distracts the children Disadvantages: not funny, humour very simple and mostly slapstick or toilet houmour.
...and has ruined the image of Mr Bean for me. At first I was curious and quite excited - I had hoped the comedy would be on the same lines as the original but I was wrong.
The soundtrack is mostly orchestral with symbols, drums and flutes to emphasise dramtic turn arounds and Beans thoughts. The vocals, as the televised original series is basically mumbles and whimpers with the odd 'ooooo' sound. Another thing that irritates me is the fact that they have tried to modernise him and have given him a girl friend, not that that ever get together, lord no, what would happen to teddy, where would he sleep!? Irma Gobb is more a romantic interst whom Bean tries to impress, but rarely suceeds.
In this single DVD volume you get 8 episodes, each lasting about 15minutes in length and include; 'In The Wild', 'Missing Teddy', 'No Parking', 'Bean's Bounty...

...Isn't it wonderful when those child hood memories come back to you, and whats even better is when they are in snazzy updated (graphics and sound wise anyway) version, such as this dvd.
Fraggle rock, as most can remember was another genius creation from Jim Henson. For those out of the loop, or are lucky enough to be too young to remember, he's the same man who is responsible for the existence of the muppets, sesame street and of course - the fraggles!

This DVD contains 2 episodes which are run back to back which cuts on time and makes the whole running only 48 minutes in length. What they've done with the orginal format is quite displeasing actually, although this version is less fuzzy than the vhs one they've cut down the episodes so that theres...
