The Titans star in their first movie, which comes off as a standard episode that falls perhaps just below the middle in episode rankings. The season finales were better.

Aardman/DreamWorks’ enormously entertaining collaboration could well be the criminally overlooked best animated film of the year!

The classic novel struggles a bit to come to life due to the low budget animation, but the story by Peter S. Beagle is still a winner.

Sony’s first in-house animated feature is a schizophrenic movie that isn’t the heart-warming family comedy it thinks it is or the outrageously crude one it really wants to be.

Mike Mignola’s wild creation gets a faithful TV pilot, though the execution could have been stronger.

Disney’s version of Robin Hood features animals in the roles of the popular characters from the popular English outlaw that steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

Three comic strip icons unite with their offspring to fight Ming The Merciless. It’s cheesy, but it’s fun!

Disney’s third go around the Cinderella tale boasts an exciting second half – if you can make it past the awful first act!

The third movie in the Marvel Comics/Lionsgate deal lies in-between the two Avengers films in terms of quality. Hard-nosed comic book continuity buffs may not appreciate the new take on their hero, but the East-meets-West storyline does offer some neat contrasts.

Better than you remembered, this animated version serves rather nicely as the fourth year of the original crew’s five-year mission to boldy go where no man has gone before.

The second and final volume of Silly Symphonies released in Disney’s popular Walt Disney Treasures line includes over 5 hours of classic Disney shorts.

Paranoia, surveillance, and the role of big business and government in our lives is examined as Philip K. Dick’s novel comes to rotoscoped life in this intriguing and visually stunning adaptation.

This true piece of Americana still holds up today as fine family viewing.

Nostalgia rules again in this fine BCI release.

Dick Tracy is relegated to a supporting player in this early 1960’s kiddie show. Despite the presence of many of Dick’s famous rogues, the cartoon lacks any of the intensity or interest of the comic strip.

The “mid-quel” follow-up to the original bypasses the melancholy feelings of the first to present a fun if quiet adventure whose greatest attribute is its country soundtrack.

The Looney Tunes gang is all here to tell their own version of Dicken’s A Christmas Carol. Gee, that’s never been told in animation before!

The second helping of the TV classic is even better than the first, though the DVD presentation is about on par.

Mickey and the gang help find Santa, plus two more episodes from the Disney Channel preschooler show.

Disney’s candy-colored bears return to the screen in their first three seasons. Despite poor image quality, it’s a fun return to visit to Gummi Glen…

Though it’s no wreck, Pixar had to get a dent in its gleaming fender and Cars is it, running out of mileage before the final flag signals despite excellent voice performances.

Motion capture doesn’t seem so bad when the movie comes out as good as this one. While its box office take was more moderate than monstrous, we find it worth a look on DVD.

Two obscure Filmation shows in one fine set from BCI, who doesn’t seem to realize that these aren’t fan favorites on the same level as He-Man. They pull out all the stops anyway, and reward Filmation fans with nice transfers and bonus features.

We look at the origins of the show and judge how it stacks up to its source material.

While the first season had a mishmash of tones that covered the gamut from goofy to the very serious, the second season… well, actually more of the same. But, except for a couple of episodes, it’s all good.

The award-winning series comes to DVD in the first of two five-disc sets. The show apparently won awards on the strength of its writing, not its animation. BCI delivers another great effort in the packaging and extras department, though the video is disappointing.

One of the greatest cartoon shows of all time comes gift-wrapped and feature-laden from the fine folks at BCI.
