Spooky! Doomsday, Mickey reviews and Pixar contests!
Superman – Doomsday reviewed, plus spooky goings on in the compilation Mickey’s House Of Villains, plus Pixar goodness galore in two new giveaways! |
|
Mickey’s House Of Villains
A fun entry in the tradition of Walt’s own anthology programs that mixed vintage footage with new, featuring Disney Animation Florida’s How To Haunt A House Goofy short as a real highlight. |
|
Pixar Shorts Collection Giveaway – Winner!
Win the Pixar Shorts Collection on DVD – Winner Announced! |
|
Robinsons vs. Transformers
Transformers and Meet The Robinsons reviewed, plus Robinsons contest winner announced! |
|
Meet The Robinsons
Disney’s whimsical comedy adventure doesn’t have the power of Pixar punch, but it’s accomplished enough and delivers more on a second viewing. |
|
Transformers: 2-Disc Special Edition
Michael Bay’s explosive blockbuster isn’t a cohesive classic by any stretch, but Paramount/DreamWorks’ extras package develops an appreciation for the sheer scale of filmmaking on show. |
|
Meet The Robinsons contest now open!
Just a quick end of week message to point you in the direction of our new Meet The Robinsons contest. The DVD is out next Tuesday, so if you don’t get your entries in soon, you’ll need to invent a time machine to flip back the clock and have another go! Or you could just […] |

Meet The Robinsons and take them home – Winner!
Meet The Robinsons on Disney DVD – Winner Announced! |
|
The Jungle Book: 2-Disc Platinum Edition
Walt’s swansong, and one of the best Disney animated features ever produced, The Jungle Book is here in a fairly decent collectors’ edition 2-disc set! |
|
Birdman's back! And so are Raggedy Ann and Andy!
Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law is back! Plus Disney’s Indian feature and a rare screening of Richard Williams’ Raggedy Ann And Andy! |
|
Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law: Volume Three
The final volume of the Hanna-Barbera spoof delivers lots of yucks for adult viewers who can handle the desecrating of old favorites. |
|
The Reef
This melding of Finding Nemo and Shark Tale sensibilities is a fishy one to place, being totally derivative of those films but no-where near as bad as it could or indeed was expected to be. Younger audiences might well be hooked! |
|
Stay Tooned!
Yo gang…we’re still here but I’ve been battling the big bad flu, which has put the dampener on my filling this here front page with anything worthwhile since last week. I did manage to post a review for Ray Pointer’s terrific Inkwell Images compilation of The Legendary Laugh-O-Grams: Fairy Tales by Walt Disney though, which […] |
|
The Legendary Laugh-O-Grams: Fairy Tales by Walt Disney
Walt Disney’s earliest film come to disc combined with informative documentary wraparounds and a unique handful of extras that place the films in real context. |
|
I Wanna Be Like You! The Jungle Book on DVD, plus SuperFriends!
Rand clocks in with his latest SuperFriends review, while it’s a big day for the release of Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book in a brand new 2-disc edition! |
|
Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show: The Complete Series
This season is marginally better than the early ones, with the addition of Firestorm adding some interest, not to mention the spectacle of seeing Darkseid crushing on Wonder Woman. |
|
The Lost World (1925 and 1960 versions)
Fox’s surprise DVD includes both Irwin Allen’s kitsch 1960 take on Conan Doyle’s The Lost World as well as the George Eastman House restoration of Willis O’Brien’s pioneering 1925 feature in a deluxe and very welcome package. |
|
Plague Dogs uncut DVD, plus Joy To Sky's World
The Plague Dogs to come to DVD uncut in the UK? Plus Sky brings Joy To The World in a fun new commercial. |
|
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 […] |
|
Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams
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. |
|
The Best Of Casper: Volumes 1 and 2
These “Best” Of Casper collections seem to be anything but, though younger audiences coming to the character for the first time might be charmed. |
|
Kermit, Piggy, Woody, Oswald…and Jerry Beck too!
Full Woody Woodpecker And Friends DVD collection review, plus we talk to Jerry Beck, the man that makes many of these sets happen right! |
|
Cartoons Then and Now: Jerry Beck talks Woody, Popeye and More!
Animated Views talks to animation historian Jerry Beck on his many projects, including the recent releases of classic Woody Woodpecker and Popeye The Sailor cartoons on DVD! |
|
Woody Woodpecker And Friends: Classic Cartoon Collection
Walter Lantz’ crazed Woodpecker breaks out of the Universal vaults for an extremely generous collection that’s surprisingly full of exuberance and quality, making this a significant must-have. |
|
The Muppet Show: Season Two
This could be one of the finest seasons of any TV show in history. Jim Henson and his collaborators were in their prime, and the guest stars this season are amazing. |
|
Weekend Update: Tom & Jerry's Tales, plus Casper winners!
Tom & Jerry Tales Volumes 1 and 2 get the review shakedown, plus those Casper contest winners! |
