Ratatouille
Pixar’s hard sell comes to disc in a fairly uneventful package from Disney, but the movie is so delicious that it deserves to be on everyone’s list! |

Alice returns to Walt's Cartoonland!
Hello folks! We start the week with a leap back just over 80 years ago, to the mid 1920s, when a young Walt Disney landed a deal to produce a series of films based around the reversal of the concept in the Ko-Ko The Clown Out Of The Inkwell shorts. Instead of a cartoon clown […] |

Robinsons vs. Transformers
Transformers and Meet The Robinsons reviewed, plus Robinsons contest winner announced! |
|
Meet The Robinsons
Disney’s whimsical comedy adventure doesn’t have the power of Pixar punch, but it’s accomplished enough and delivers more on a second viewing. |
|
Transformers: 2-Disc Special Edition
Michael Bay’s explosive blockbuster isn’t a cohesive classic by any stretch, but Paramount/DreamWorks’ extras package develops an appreciation for the sheer scale of filmmaking on show. |
|

The Reef
This melding of Finding Nemo and Shark Tale sensibilities is a fishy one to place, being totally derivative of those films but no-where near as bad as it could or indeed was expected to be. Younger audiences might well be hooked! |

Stay Tooned!
Yo gang…we’re still here but I’ve been battling the big bad flu, which has put the dampener on my filling this here front page with anything worthwhile since last week. I did manage to post a review for Ray Pointer’s terrific Inkwell Images compilation of The Legendary Laugh-O-Grams: Fairy Tales by Walt Disney though, which […] |
