|
Warner Archive: Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! – The Complete Vitaphone Shorts Collection
Artist and cartoonist Robert L Ripley’s famed oddities and trivia discoveries began their screen life here, and though this set shows its vintage it does so very entertainingly. |
|
Warner Archive: The Amazing Captain Nemo
Producer Irwin Allen earns his Master Of Disaster tag for all the wrong reasons in this unintentionally hilarious slice of classic kitsch. They sure don’t make ’em like this anymore! |

|
The Lord Of The Rings: Remastered Deluxe Edition
Ralph Bakshi’s ambitious but wildly uneven animated take on the first half of Tolkien’s trilogy remains a frustrating work, but Warners’ new Blu-ray and DVD combo at least offers the opportunity of a fresh look. |
|
The Great Mouse Detective: Mystery In The Mist Edition
Disney’s “greatest little mystery in history” is given the short thrift, with a decent new transfer wasted on a pointless disc that just can’t really be recommended. |
|

Jeremie Noyer speaks exclusively to Disney Legend Floyd Norman about his amazing new book My Animated Life, which recounts many anecdotes from his career in Disney Animation. |
|
Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey
Those who liked the first Curious George movie should be more than curious about the little mischievous monkey’s second feature length outing, even if it’s just a bit of fluffy, non-groundbreaking fun. |
|
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Wes Anderson’s fantastic film of Roald Dahl’s children’s crime caper will enchant most, and even if Fox’s disc isn’t exactly packed with extras, there are still some well-rounded supplements and exemplary technical aspects to be enjoyed. |

|
The First Easter Rabbit: Deluxe Edition
Rankin/Bass move away from the stop-motion that made their name for this sometimes strange hand-animated origin of the Easter Bunny, but the results are rather crude and Warners’ disc is missing the “deluxe” element of the cover’s banner. |
|
Bugs Bunny’s Easter Funnies
Friz Freleng’s 1977 television special pulls together some classic Looney Tunes cartoons with new animated sequences and, though the splicing is easily seen, it’s an entertaining enough hour. |
|
How To Train Your Dragon
DreamWorks’ How To Train Your Dragon is a high-flying adventure with humor, a solid story, amazing visuals, and an unexpected amount of heart — it easily ranks as one of the studio’s best. |

The Princess And The Frog
Disney’s nostalgic return to the old-school provides a fine time for all ages, even if the magic feels like it’s repeating itself a little. The BD serves up a terrific image, though the extras feel recycled too. |

Animated Views is giving away the just released The Princess and the Frog Blu-ray/DVD combo disc to one lucky reader! |

Ponyo
Miyazaki’s latest film is a fantasy spectacular. The simple story and quiet ending do little to detract from what is an animation tour de force. |
|
My Neighbor Totoro
Miyazaki’s family classic gets its best DVD treatment yet. The reissue has no serious drawbacks, and packs in some nice new extras. |
|
Castle In The Sky
Studio Ghibli’s first film is an imaginative adventure movie, but the new DVD has some problems. Video, dubbing, and a lost subtitle track are all concerns. |
|
Kiki’s Delivery Service
The 2010 DVD edition of this fine Studio Ghibli film easily bests the 2003 version, with better video, changes that bring it closer to the original Japanese film, and a plethora of new bonus features. Miyazaki fans should be very pleased. |
