The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons in Book Reviews on 7/8/2010 by Ben Simon
The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons
Lavishly illustrated on quality paper, Jerry Beck's new book unfortunately doesn't bring an awfully lot new to the published Looney Tunes canon, though it is undeniably exceptional value for money.

Abominable in Film Reviews on 9/27/2019 by Dan Short
Abominable
The narrative is very basic, almost to the point of being detrimental. Nevertheless, Abominable is a charming enough film with simple, yet beautiful animation, likable characters, and nice music.

This was one of the most prolific of all the old-time animation series, even if the studio and its cartoons are barely remembered today. Two neat volumes from Thunderbean shed light on some vintage gems from the 1930s.

Cars 2
Lacking any of the heart or speed of the original, this flat as a flat tyre sequel finds Pixar running awfully low on gas, and the extras scrape the barrel in trying to tune-up a rare misfire that doesn't get out of the pit-stop let alone make the finish line.

Casper and Wendy’s Ghostly Adventures in DVD Reviews on 10/29/2008 by Rodney Figueiredo
Casper and Wendy’s Ghostly Adventures
Casper and Wendy’s Ghostly Adventures comes with fourteen different adventures. While the title includes Wendy’s name, this is really Casper’s collection. The DVD spans eleven years between 1951 and 1962, although the fourteen cartoons are not in chronological order. However, they can be categorized into three different themes: Casper looking for a friend, Casper and Friends (the story usually focusing on the friends rather than on Casper), and Casper’s adventures (although usually still looking for a friend).

Teddy Newton's bedtime storybook based on his wonderful short naturally can't quite come alive on the printed page in the way the film did, but the delightful drawings do a sweet job of transposing one medium to another.

The balance of episodes of this unique 1980s show features more zany team-up action with Flash Gordon, The Phantom, and Mandrake the Magician. Not a good show, really, but BCI still does their usual standout job.

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.

Gargoyles: The Complete First Season in DVD Reviews on 12/20/2004 by Rodney Figueiredo
Gargoyles: The Complete First Season
Gargoyles premiered on October 1994, as part of the syndicated Disney Afternoon block, with a five-part episode arc entitled Awakening. These episodes told the story of how the gargoyles lived in their old world of Scotland, and about how they were transplanted to downtown Manhattan. The first five episodes, with their action and mythology-packed storylines, created a world where gargoyles came out at night to defend their castle. The story featured six living gargoyles that sleep as statues during the day, and were awakened at sunset. A new breed of superheroes was created and the gargoyles later would come to see all of Manhattan as their home and castle.

Helluva Boss in Television Reviews on 12/18/2020 by Dan Short
Helluva Boss
This is not a family-friendly show, pushing acceptable adult content to a shocking degree, but those willing to brave the fires of Beelzebub may enjoy the independently produced high quality animation, eccentric characters, and nice melodies.

It's not all that original, but this 1971 escape-from-the-zoo show did predate Madagascar by a few decades. It also provides the typical mix of good-natured humor and great voice actors that Hanna-Barbera fans love.

Disney does Dickens as the story of Oliver gets a new twist in a modern-day New York setting populated by celebrity-voiced canines. An HD transfer is top dog, but the (same old) extras are kitty litter.

Once Upon A Time…Walt Disney
This companion piece to the Artistic Sources Of The Disney Studios exhibition may fall short in a few minor areas, but otherwise it's a must-have documentary that takes a serious look at Disney animation art. The addition of the silent Snow White is icing on the cake!

Onward is classic Pixar -- great storytelling combined with charismatic leads in a unique world wrapped up in beautiful animation. Definitely take the initiative to see this one because it is a campaign worth playing.

Sam Raimi’s return to Oz is more lame and disappointing, truth be told, with surprisingly bad effects only countered by Danny Elfman’s score. Disney’s two conflicting disc options offer great extras or 3D, not both.

Unfortunately living up to its box-office reputation, Disney and Bruckheimer's visual effects blockbuster dud is ultimately a waste of time, even if it looks perfectly fine in both HD format and on the included DVD.

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.

Spidey looks pretty cool in "comic noir CGI" although the medium does have its pluses and minuses. This may be remembered in the future as an oddity in the career of Spider-Man, but it has some great moments and is well worth a look on this amazingly feature-packed DVD set.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Two-Disc Special Edition) in DVD Reviews on 11/18/2008 by Rodney Figueiredo
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Two-Disc Special Edition)
The Clone Wars were a series of battles that took place between separatist star systems and the Galactic Republic. The Separatists (under the name of Confederation of Independent Systems) use battle droids to wage war against the Republic who eventually fights back with an army of cloned soldiers led by Jedi generals. The beginning of the war can be found in the film Attack of the Clones while the grand finale of the war takes place in Revenge of the Sith. This would put this latest film as well as the new TV show between Episodes 2 and 3 of the Star Wars saga.

Disney/Pixar's latest triumph isn't quite the all-out masterpiece it has been hailed as, its soggy central act lifted by an outstanding opening and exciting climax, but it looks and sounds beautiful and is serviced well enough on its Blu-ray debut.

Up: 3D Edition
Up returns in 3D and, several more viewings over the couple of years on from its original release it can now be seen as the almost Pixar-perfect movie that it is. The 3D is a worthy addition, for once, even if the extras are the same as before.

They were a suggestion made by Disney’s music director Carl W. Stalling to Walt Disney about cartoons without a central character and where the main focus would be on music.

The thirty-one shorts highlighted on this disc pick up where the last Chronological Donald left off. We start in 1951 and end in 1961, completing the final decade of Donald’s theatrical solo shorts. The previous collection of shorts already began to see Donald’s transition from the barnyard to the suburbs. In the fifties, this was finally sealed with Donald becoming a suburban everyman with a job and hobbies and living with everyday frustrations of home and family life. In some of these shorts Donald is even married and has a family.

Either the most unique movie in Disney’s recent history or the one that doesn’t feel like a Disney movie at all, Ralph is entertaining even if it’s game over for the very basic extras package.

X-Men '92 Vol. 0: Warzones!
X-Men '92 is a faithful continuation of the Fox animated series. But its chaotic narrative will leave all readers quite bewildered.

Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper in DVD Reviews on 1/9/2011 by Randall Cyrenne
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 in DVD Reviews on 1/8/2011 by Randall Cyrenne
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.

Young Justice in Television Reviews on 1/1/2011 by Whitney Grace
Young Justice
Although it would benefit from giving its female characters more to do, this latest DC cartoon series has more depth than expected, with cliche-free teen heroes and a lot of potential.

Young Justice: Season 1, Volume 2

Zootopia in Film Reviews on 3/7/2016 by James R Whitson
Zootopia
Zootopia earns a savage review as it spends too much time trying (and failing) to get its message right at the expense of making an enjoyable story.
