Ruby-Spears’ Superman: DC Comics Classic Collection

A Christmas Carol
Scrooge himself and the Ghost Of Christmas Present finally break the motion-capture spell in this magically spirited film, but the obvious and merely adequate production design and other characters can’t but fall unfortunate victims to the process… |
 |
Up
Disney/Pixar’s latest triumph isn’t quite the all-out masterpiece it has been hailed as, its soggy central act lifted by an outstanding opening and exciting climax, but it looks and sounds beautiful and is serviced well enough on its Blu-ray debut. |
 |
Monsters, Inc.
Pixar’s fourth film makes it to Blu-ray in an absolutely stunning hi-def experience, but despite an abundance of discs (a second BD, DVD and Digital Copy), there’s little new here and even some missing ingredients. |
 |
The Prisoner: The Complete Series
Online discounts bring Patrick McGoohan’s classic groundbreaking thriller adventure down to a more reasonable saving, but the restored HD image and supplements, including a comprehensive new documentary is well worth the price anyway! |
 |
Merry Madagascar
DreamWorks Animation’s second seasonal special amplifies everything that is good and bad about their Madagascar franchise, from the decent squashy animation to loud, shouty dialogue, with too much screen time, as usual, handed to lemur King Julien. |
 |
Saturday Morning Cartoons – 1960s: Volume 2
A couple of new-to-DVD shows are here, but otherwise this set gets bogged down in Looney Tunes and more of what we’ve seen before. Jetsons again?! |
 |
Justice League: The Complete Series
Justice League finally gets released in a complete series set containing all 91 episodes from the show’s five year run on the Cartoon Network across 14 discs. |
 |
Saturday Morning Cartoons – 1970s: Volume 2
More Saturday morning fun from Warner Bros.! There are few classics here, but lots of fondly remembered shows and a few obscure gems. |
 |
Fantastic Mr Fox
Forget whatever you’ve heard: Mr Fox is a Wes Anderson film pure and simple, and marks that rare occasion when a live-action director brings a unique, and genuinely Fantastic, new perspective to the animation medium. |
 |
Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure
The second Tinker Bell movie improves on the first, with an adventurous tale that teaches lessons of responsibility and friendship. |
 |
Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs
Though still pretty cool, the Ice Age franchise needs to come up with some new directions if it’s going to remain fresh, and although fair value, this Blu-ray and DVD combo features an odd mix of old and new material. |
 |
Peanuts: 1970’s Collection Volume 1
Only six specials over two discs, but you can’t argue that most of them are pretty good. |
 |
Cars: Ultimate Gift Pack
Pixar’s gleaming fender took an albeit minor dent with Cars, here driven around the block one more time with both original DVD and Blu-ray releases accompanied by McQueen and Mater model cars and gift set packaging. |
 |
A Muppet Christmas: Letters To Santa
There’s little genuine Christmas cheer enclosed with these Letters, I’m very sorry to write, in this labored and unauthentic special, which is probably not destined to become a Christmas classic and where the old Muppets magic fails to sparkle. |
 |
Wallace And Gromit: The Complete Collection
The charming British inventor-and-dog team get their best disc yet, including their newest effort, A Matter Of Loaf And Death. With only a couple of minor caveats, this is the best way to collect their adventures. |
 |

Tom and Jerry’s Greatest Chases: Volume 3
The cartoons included on this set are some of the best in the cat and mouse duo’s career. They include several Academy Award nominated shorts spanning over one decade. |
 |
Gigantor: The Collection, Volume Two
More giant robot action is always good, I suppose, but there’s more history than excitement in these primitive shows. |
 |
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
This is a wild ride, though far from the best story to adapt from the comics. There are some nice extras on the disc, however. |
 |
The Transformers: Season Two, Volume One (25th Anniversary Edition)
The second season of The Transformers continues the success of the show with new episodes featuring the continuing battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons. |
 |
The Astonishing Work Of Tezuka Osamu
Art triumphs over commerce! Here are thirteen less commercial works from the creator of Astro Boy, each marvelous to behold. |
 |
Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition
In short, Disney’s new Diamond Edition of Walt’s first boasts a beautifully clean new transfer, but for all the bells and whistles, the supplements are not the fairest in the land. |
 |
The Disney Song Encyclopedia
Jeremie Noyer reviews Thomas S. Hischak and Mark A. Robinson compendium of the Disney song catalog. |

 |
Bedknobs And Broomsticks: Enchanted Musical Edition
Unfairly knocked for being a poor man’s Mary Poppins, this film has its own richness of magic. Though this is a lesser package than the previous DVD edition, it is still bound to please most who haven’t got the old DVD already in their collections. |
 |
Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie (Limited Edition with Plush)
Lumpy and Roo celebrate their first Halloween together in the Hundred Acre Woods. |
