Victory At Sea - Vol. 6 DVD

Advantages: excellent graphics, lovely songs and lovable pony characters
Disadvantages: no extras

...A newer version of the my little ponies films. This is a wonderfully produced dvd. The animation is far superior to the older versions and the voices are well suited to charaters. Cost: £7.99 Place of Purchase: WHSmith Film producers: Hasbro Release date: April 2006 No Discs: 1 Cover: Illustrations on the cover are similar to that on the dvd - very glamourous and pretty.

Advantages: lovingly remastered and viewable in its original scale, insightful and interesting extras
Disadvantages: once more region 1 gets a better deal with more special features

...from the film on the dvd, let's talk about the dvd itself. The region 2 version is a 1 disc set. It contains the film, which has been lovingly restored.

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

He also brought out a full length film in 1997 entitled ''Bean The Ultimate Disater Movie'', so having mastered both the big and small screen how else could they 'milk' Rowan's genius character... Well animation of course. What other way to perfectly destroy what was done and dusted in the 90's. I personally think the film was good but in parts was pushing the unique Mr Bean character. 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. DVD Also includes seven 'smashing... Read review
