The day is almost upon us, it's great to see this classic cartoon finally hit DVD. Like many of you, I grew up on this show in the early Eighties. Looking back on it now, it's still fun but not as good as the solo Spider-Man show of 1981. For me, the 1981 series is the definitive Spidey show. Let's hope good sales of this series promote a release of the aforementioned.

By comparison to the more comic faithful 1981 series, this show is pretty stupid,- Spidey, Firestar and Ice Man all ... Read More:

Good film. The DVD we rented had poor sound quality and we had to turn the TV up to full volume!but other than that it was the kind of film that we like to watch on the run up to Christmas. Nice story line. Would recommend.

Note: The review that follows is of the Special Edition of a film first released in 2003.

Comparisons with the earlier version released 41 years ago (featuring the voices of Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders, and Sterling Holloway among others) are inevitable and perhaps unfair. As I began to watch this sequel, I tried very hard to experience it and then judge it on its own merits. All issues considered, my rating of it is explained as follows: I think it offers pleasant ...

The Nightmare Before Christmas (2 Disc Collector's Edition) [1993]
Best Selling > DVD > Ages 5-8

directed by: Tim Burton

Only Tim Burton could produce a holiday musical about Halloween's grotesqueries taking over Christmas.

And in fact he did. Burton wrote and produced a charming stop-motion musical called "The Nightmare Before Christmas," which is as close as we'll ever get to a Burton Christmas film. And there's rarely a dull moment in this town called Halloween -- from start to finish, it's a quirky, macabre, vintage-flavoured ride through the darker side of everybody's favorite holidays.

In Halloween Town, ... Read More:

The Adventures Of Tintin - 75th Anniversary [1990]
Best Selling > DVD > Ages 5-8
starring: David Fox, Susan Roman, Wayne Robson, John Stocker, Vernon Chapman

I bought this for my nephew for his birthday as he is 8 and a Tintin fan - he is also French and does not speak a word of English. The description and commentaries stated that the DVDs were in French and English - this is a lie it is in English only (not even any sub-titles). I'm sure these are very good DVDs if you want English translations but if you want the ORIGINAL language or if you are heard of hearing and require sub-titles then you'll have to look elsewhere. It is not difficult to see why they appear to be cheap.

Ever wonder, who is Santa Claus, really? Where does he come from, how old is he? How in the world does he squeeze down a chimney, and how does he get in if there isn't a chimney? What's the deal here? Well, happily, the answers to these questions and more are finally answered, as the legend of Santa Claus comes to life as never before in `The Santa Clause,' directed by John Pasquin and starring Tim Allen. Scott Calvin (Allen) is an executive with a toy manufacturing company, he's divorced and has a young son, Charlie (Eric Lloyd), who ... Read More:

We have to bear in mind this movie was first made in the 1980`s and cannot be judged along with disney of today. It is indeed a brilliant and engrossing movie, still loved by children - but it seems, judged too harshly by adults who clearly expect `more` these days. The 6 year old i bought it for absolutely loves it and watches it over and over..
