DVD Description
TIBET - CRY OF THE SNOW LION is a dramatic documentary that takes viewers through the astonishing recent political history of the country. Spending over ten years making the film, director Tom Peosay presents a clear, concise, educational chronology that tracks the major events and developments in the Tibet-China conflict both within those two countries and internationally. The film shows the beauty of the country's Himalaya Mountains, the artistry of Tibetan clothing and monasteries, the practices of the Buddhist religion, and the gentle spirit of the Tibetan people. But the most powerful part of the film includes archival news coverage, interviews with politicians and historians, and testimonials from survivors of torture and imprisonment. Woven together, these pieces tell the story of the immensely disturbing, violent ongoing struggle resulting from Tibet's occupation by China.The film does an excellent job with its material, and viewers will find themselves searching for a solution and an answer to Tibet's problems long after the movie's conclusion.

Advantages: Brilliant family films, Disney quality picture & sound Disadvantages: Some parts a bit unrealistic in eight below
...Eight Below & Snow Dogs
I bought Snow Dogs on video years ago when it first came out and really enjoyed it so when I saw the 2 piece set of this and the new similar film on DVD I went and bought it from play.com as I already wanted to replace my old copy of Snow Dogs with a DVD so this was the best reason to do so.
Snow Dogs
A Walt Disney Film
The first film came out in May 2002, directed by Brian Levant.
The cast includes

Advantages: The Huskeys, its entertaining for kids, its Disney! Disadvantages: Could be seen as a bit too corny, slapstick & predictable but it is a kids movie
...children I would presume would enjoy, which is about all that matters really, at the end of the day, given the type of movie it is, I reckon.
Oh and a random fact about the movie is that both Sisqo (the guy who sang that rather embarrassing 'Thong Song' some years ago(!) and Michael Bolton make an appearance in the movie, which is, as I say, rather random but there you go!.
I'm not sure there's much else I can say about it really, apart from that I believe a sequel has been made but it was a straight to video (or more straight to DVD nowadays) movie and it, as alot of sequels are, isn't half as good as this original movie, from what I've heard anyway. Thats likely because they didn't have the same high budget to use such good CGI/puppetry.
- Would I Recommend It? -
Yes, for a kids movie its pretty good. Kids should find it fairly...
