In five classic episodes from the beginning of the show’s second season, the Smurfs face-off against new villains and participate in exciting adventures. The popular show returns to DVD in a new kid-friendly, single disc release for more casual fans of the show.

In an alternate version of the eighties in New York City, Nixon is serving his fifth term as president, America has won the war in Vietnam, the Cold War is at its most heated, costumed vigilantes have been outlawed, and a former vigilante, named Comedian, has been found murdered outside his apartment. In this world, another costumed vigilante named Rorschach investigates the murder while trying to convince his former colleagues that there is a wide conspiracy against them.

The boys are back in the Park for another fourteen episode run, coming over as shocking and hilarious as ever, even if this is a little more scatter-shot than usual season.

Hanna-Barbera’s 1964 debut animated feature arrives on DVD, and even if the old-school approach and bare bones disc doesn’t provide high-tech, extras-packed thrills, it’s immensely entertaining fun!

The Mystery of the Easter Chipmunk was originally a Direct-to-Video release back in 1995. Now it has been reissued on DVD just in time for a new-found interest in Alvin and his chipmunk brothers. In this DVD, the Chipmunks participate in one Easter-related adventure, and four others from the 80s TV show.

Disney’s first international co-production is a delightfully simple hark back to classic family filmmaking, but with the modern trimmings packed in, and this disc presents it with good supplements.

Tom and Jerry return for the sixth and final volume of their latest incarnation – Tom and Jerry Tales. In these fifteen cartoons, the duo travels around the world and back in time, singing and dancing their way through new hilarious adventures.

Disney’s direct to video sequel to their 1989 theatrical classic isn’t actually as bad as Ariel’s Beginning but this re-tread lacks any real magic of its own.

Disney’s vastly entertaining 1988 animated feature returns to disc in a 20th Anniversary repackaging of the previous Special Edition: the only new extras being a game and glossy slipcase.

Walt Disney’s exuberant musical’s new DVD is a re-hash of the wonderful 40th Anniversary package, but drops some of the relevant bonus features for nothing more than commercials for the new stage show version.

Two sporting television specials appear on this disc, and both are winners.

A Polar Bear tries to teach her two cubs about life in the Arctic and the new challenges they face due to the interference of man.

Suzie Templeton’s Oscar winning interpretation of Prokofiev’s classic musical story recalls the Eastern European animations of old and is well served on with this disc’s supplements.

Julius Kelp’s grandson is about to go the way of his grandfather in this mildly amusing updated follow-up of sorts to Jerry Lewis’ 1963 comedy.

Visual FX supremo Spaz Williams jumps into the directors chair to deliver a well crafted hour and a half of good clean fun with some unique visual touches.

Though this 2003 TV special was produced after the death of Charles Schulz, it still manages to contain plenty of that old Peanuts Christmas magic. With an additional special and even a great “Making of” about the original Christmas special, this discontinued DVD is a rare treat.

The best superhero cartoon of all time finally gets the complete series set it deserves.

Right after their historic television run ended in 1966, The Flintstones starred in this Bond-inspired spy caper.

The thirty-one shorts highlighted on this disc pick up where the last Chronological Donald left off. We start in 1951 and end in 1961, completing the final decade of Donald’s theatrical solo shorts. The previous collection of shorts already began to see Donald’s transition from the barnyard to the suburbs. In the fifties, this was finally sealed with Donald becoming a suburban everyman with a job and hobbies and living with everyday frustrations of home and family life. In some of these shorts Donald is even married and has a family.

This Mickey Mouse Club serial starring Annette Funicello is wholesome Disney goodness that stands up extremely well fifty years since it aired.

The Clone Wars were a series of battles that took place between separatist star systems and the Galactic Republic. The Separatists (under the name of Confederation of Independent Systems) use battle droids to wage war against the Republic who eventually fights back with an army of cloned soldiers led by Jedi generals. The beginning of the war can be found in the film Attack of the Clones while the grand finale of the war takes place in Revenge of the Sith. This would put this latest film as well as the new TV show between Episodes 2 and 3 of the Star Wars saga.

The final black and white Popeye cartoons are in this set, which means the Fleischer era is now fully on disc. There’s lots more of Pappy here, plus Popeye gets some nephews, and joins the Navy to help out against the Axis powers.

Pixar’s latest is a contemporary classic, and though the Blu-ray beats it, Disney’s standard definition Special Edition set – including feature doc The Pixar Story – is a return to the great packages of old!

DreamWorks’ television special is a festive affair that brings the Shrek franchise back to the level of the first film, not the second, but the disc is sorely lacking any surprise presents.

This is the most essential Peanuts special to own— the very first one, and perhaps still the best.

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection series ends – at least for now – in style with a pot porri of curios and rarities among the all time classics, plus some classy supplements!
