The Tidings (Animated) (DVD)

Advantages: fighting content from start to finish
Disadvantages: short film of 33mins

...A good dvd completes my Riddick Collection from Pitch Black,The Chronicles of Riddick to video game Escape from butchers Bay. Dark Fury is a 2004 made-for-DVD animated movie. It was directed by the Korean-American animator Peter Chung, and features Vin Diesel performing the voice of Richard B. Riddick. A nice join up story and tells you what happens straight after Pitch Black and before The Chronicles of Riddick and explained why he had the Bounty hunters after him but only a little bit short this dvd for 33 mins in total,it has extras and bonus to it thats makes it better. it contains a decent amount of fighting actually so is no bad,from fighting mercentary soldiers to vicious creatures from start to finish. Dark Fury" is violent and dark, not for younger viewers who probably should not have been exposed to the films anyway... Read review

Advantages: Cartoon entertainment for kids
Disadvantages: not as funny as the original, bad graphics, poor comedy

COST: £9.99 PLACE OF PURCHASE: Blockbuster NUMBER OF DISCS: 1 CERTIFICATE: U For almost a tenner you get one dvd with a handful of extras and trailers, also one interview with rowan atkinson on the making of animated Mr Bean.

Advantages: A sequel that gives more of the same with a twist more adult fun - Puss is inspired!
Disadvantages: Original songs weren't used and characters revoiced for the British version

.... The animation is, yet again, of an excellent standard. Even the more minor characters appear to have a great deal of time and effort devoted into making them seem as rich and detailed as the rest. Obviously Princess Fiona, Shrek and Donkey all appear similar to their first outing, but even these characters are a tiny bit more detailed. The real genius is in the new characters. The two that particular caught my eye were Puss in Boots and Fairy Godmother. Puss's fur appears to have texture as it ruffles and flattens to show his mood, whilst his eyes are able to open up into large watery pools; whilst the Fairy Godmother seems to have real brightness in her rounded cheeks and twinkling eyes that are able to shift at the slightest moment to show her more threatening side. Unlike Pixar's 'Toy Story', 'Shrek 2' doesn't try and recreate the world as... Read review
