The Island DVD

Advantages: cute characters, good story, good songs too
Disadvantages: is one in a series, ali isn't all that hot

...whilst they leave the Great Valley and Littlefoot and his friends decide to take matters in their own hands by crossing the "big water" to an unknown island. At the Big water they encounter an old friend from The Land Before Time DVD number 2, he's called Chomper, the tiny friendly T-rex. Chomper has to protect the gang from his own carnivorous parents, which adds tension to the storyline as they have some really close calls! Plenty of drama in this one, you're sure to enjoy as we all did :) Some fantastic songs, although the graphics and cartoons are pretty much the same as the old style t.v. and video issues. It depends if you prefer this look, although I personally think they could have digitally remastered it a bit more. Of course not to the extent of finding nemo, but perhaps a nice intermediate.

The first series of the sitcom originally aired in 1995 (in what I think was the start of the comedy revolution, as in my opinion... Read review

Advantages: funny funny funny
Disadvantages: not enough episodes

..."Father Ted Crilly dreams of a parish in Las Vegas and a life free from embarrassment. But in the meantime he is also trying to remain sane on Craggy Island, and try to find maybe an hour free of embarrassment." If you read my Top Ten Sitcoms reviews of a couple of months ago, you'll know that Father Ted was in my chart. As far as I'm concerned, it is one of the funniest shows that ever existed, but is based on a theme which you wouldn't think would be funny at all. . . Three priests trapped in a parochial house on a little island off the coast of Ireland. How on EARTH can that be funny? But it is. --------------------------------------------------------- THE CHARACTERS FATHER TED CRILLEY - Trapped in a house with three eccentrics, Ted likes to feel superior to the others, thinking he is the normal one of the bunch...
