The Incredibles
Disney/Pixar’s super-family return in a great high definition version of the original DVD, with practically all of that set’s extras carried over plus the addition of some new ones. The image isn’t quite as super-sharp as expected, but it’s a worthy upgrade. |

Tron: Legacy and The Original Classic 2-Movie Collection
Disney’s high-tech 1982 blockbuster gets a deserved lick of digital paint in a terrific new restoration and, while the 2010 sequel isn’t as ambitious, it’s a satisfactory enough continuation of the franchise. |

Tangled
From a big-screen worthy 3D experience, to high-definition, regular DVD or even portable digital file, Disney’s Tangled Combo Pack offers multiple ways to enjoy this wonderful film. It’s just a shame that any decent in-depth extras got brushed out… |

Peanuts Double Feature: A Boy Named Charlie Brown & Snoopy, Come Home

Jabberjaw: The Complete Series
Warner Archive presents more classic 1970s Hanna-Barbera . The premise of a shark in a teen band touring underwater in the future is enough of a hook to seperate the show from other Scooby knock-offs of the era. |

Tom And Jerry: Fur Flying Adventures Vol.1
Advertised as over an hour of fun, this collection lacks the epic game of cat and mouse, giving screen time to side characters and a random assortment of toons from the Hanna-Barbera and Chuck Jones days. |

A Charlie Brown Valentine
This 2002 special makes for a nice viewing if you’re a Peanuts fan, though the bonus special is better. There is less here than on the old Paramount disc, and the presentation is decidedly no-frills. |

Space: 1999: Season One
The former puppet master, Gerry Anderson, created this show about the moon being blasted off into outer space. The science is sketchy, but the stories range from thought-provoking to zany, with a dash of metaphysics. |

SWAT Kats – The Radical Squadron: The Complete Series
Even if it may be a little too reminiscent of the toy-inspired franchise fad, as the series goes it only gets better. Characterization takes a backseat to action, but the zany plots are what cartoons are all about. |

Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales
This series of Christmas vignettes is really the more minor of the two specials on the disc. Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown? is certainly more remarkable, offering a more serious storyline that shakes things up and gives new insight into the characters. |

Yogi Bear’s All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper
Two specials show the beginning and end of the classic Hanna-Barbera period. The headliner is a little-known gem, while a 1960s birthday special shows just how good Yogi and the gang could be back in the day. |

Yogi’s Great Escape
Yogi Bear takes Boo Boo and three orphan cubs with him on a cross-country dash to avoid facing being transferred to a zoo. The 1987 telefilm is a modest charmer that relies heavily on nostalgia for Yogi and some special guest stars. |
