The Kid (DVD)

...animated feature length cartoon involving the trials and tribulations of either a beautiful lady or a cuddly animal spring to mind. 'The kid' is not of this variety and has not an animated character or computer created beast in sight. (Although Bbruce Willis' hair may have been added on to the footage - who knows!) Abandoning my rule that Disney films are for children or for christmas viewing I rented this from the local video shop after seeing a ...
