When good cartoons go bad: review roundup…
We’ve a couple of reviews gone up this week for a pair of unfortunately hard to recommend titles. The Best Of Casper certainly is a warm introduction to the character, but long time fans will have seen much if not all of the contained material before, and there’s nothing here for collectors, who will complain […] |

This is nothing but product line extension, which should be avoided by collectors, though even the young girl audience might find this a switch off too, with the list price certainly not warranted by the lackluster, less than an hour length. |

Ratatouille cooks up DVD and Blu-Ray disc editions
Hot out of the oven are the disc specifications for Disney/Pixar’s Ratatouille on standard definition DVD and hi-def Blu-Ray Disc.
