X-Men: The Animated Series – Volume 3
The X-Men return with their third volume of stories from the show’s third and fourth seasons. |
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. |
Warner Archive: The Our Gang Collection
Those original little rascals return in a delightfully nostalgic but exhaustive collection of all 52 of their MGM-produced Our Gang shorts! |
Disneynature: Earth
Disneynature’s first outing cribs its material from the BBC’s Planet Earth but provides an almost perfectly formed cut-down of events that will amaze newcomers to this footage. |
Astro Boy And Anime Come To The Americas
Lots of great material exists in the first third of the book, after which the author loses his way, and the poor writing and lack of a proper editor make this a tough one to recommend. |
Disney Princess Enchanted Tales (with Bonus Disc)
This product line extension is back and should again be avoided by collectors, even if they’re tempted by a new, scantly packed and redundant bonus disc. |
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: Season One, Vol. 3 – Hello Mummy
The Mystery, Inc. gang returns with 4 classic adventures from the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! show. |
Pete’s Dragon: High-Flying Edition
This tale of a boy and his dragon showed that the 1970s were not so bad for the Disney studio as many remember. The DVD shines with numerous fine bonus features. |

G.I. Joe is the code name for America’s daring, highly-trained, Special Mission force. Its purpose: To defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. |
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition
All four Turtles movies in one box, and although the first three films unfortunately miss out on extras, the set gains points with its collectible physical extras. |
Super Friends: The Lost Episodes
These episodes saw the last of ther Wonder Twins, and a lot of cheesy plots. But darned if I wasn’t entertained. |
Race To Witch Mountain
Disney’s modern update of its own 1975 thriller isn’t as shameless as it might have been, providing the same kind of thrills for today’s audience that the original did back in original release, but the discs are very poor in terms of supplements, making this Race a rental at best. |

Green Lantern: First Flight
DC Comics’ Emerald Warrior gets his own exciting, visually impressive movie. The extras are plentiful even if they don’t address the movie too much. But comic fans especially will enjoy everything. |
Watchmen: Director’s Cut
Love it or hate it, director Zack Snyder’s immensely intricate translation of Moore/Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is an impressive achievement, and this more cohesive Director’s Cut is stunningly served in a high definition set. |
Tom and Jerry’s Greatest Chases: Volume 2
After trying their luck with three “Spotlight” collection releases of the classic shorts (all three with some flaws, editing among them), and a recent Chuck Jones release for the duo, Warner has finally reverted back to the original release format – Greatest Chases, first used in their 2000 release Tom and Jerry’s Greatest Chases. |
Peanuts: 1960’s Collection
All six classic specials come in a nifty little package. Putting them accross two discs is a bit of a joke, but the contents are still golden. Great Vince Guaraldi profile, too! |

Giant robots became popular after the launch of this classic Japanese series, presented here in its modified English version. |

The Autobots align with the humans to prevent the Decepticons from destroying the planet and humans in the process. |
Tom & Jerry: The Chuck Jones Collection
Chuck Jones’ continuation of the cat and mouse’s antics make for quite contemporary viewing and, while they won’t replace the traditional classics, remain a decent series in their own right. |

With a surprisingly action-packed Dawn of the Dinosaurs, the Ice Age franchise may not yet be extinct. |
The Art Of Up
Jeremie Noyer reviews The Art Of Up, which looks at the development of Pixar’s latest movie. |

Ignore the ridiculous warning on the cover— These cartoons ARE for kids, and kids at heart. There are too many episodes on here that we’ve seen on DVD before, but there are also some pretty rare shows. |
Saturday Morning Cartoons – 1960s: Volume 1
The best of what Saturday mornings had to offer in the 1960s. Awesome collection. |
