Be aware, this is the 4:3, not the Widescreen version!

Easy to buy it by mistake as 99.9% of DVDs are widescreen!

The Golden Compass [2007]

The trilogy on paper was great but this film is absolutely dreadful and the actress playing Lyra comes from the "Wooden School Of Acting" populated by Harry Potter film stars.

Major disappointment.

Bedknobs And Broomsticks [1971]
Best Selling > DVD > General
starring: Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson, Roddy McDowall, Sam Jaffe, John Ericson
directed by: Robert Stevenson

This is one of those dvds you can get out any time of year over and over again and it still appeals. Who would have thought combining a witch, a doctor and WWII would create such wonder.

The characters created by Angela Lansbury (Miss Price the good witch) and David Thomlinson (Dr Amelius Brown)are wonderful and the combination of settings, singing, dancing and animation are very well balanced. Our whole family love this film.

Mr Benn - The Complete Series

starring: Mr Benn, Ray Brooks

Mr Benn is easily one of my favourite children's programmes, short and simple but also magical and truly unforgettable. I never realised that only 14 episodes were made though, maybe it is because time goes a lot slower as a child, that and the fact that by the time an episode was repeated, I must have thought it was a brand new episode but anyway, quality will always be more important than quantity plus it is proof that Mr Benn has great replay value.

Another great thing about Mr Benn is that every episode is ... Read More:

In The Night Garden - Who's Here?
Best Selling > DVD > General
starring: Derek Jacobi

September 10, 2007
What age is this extraordinary programme aimed at, I wonder ? Some of the reviews indicate that older children of 5 or 6 love it, as well as pre-schoolers (at which it is aimed) and adults. Ben Bold has his own agenda which made me smile...see his review.

All I can say is that it has a particular quality of excellence that you associate with something of timeless appeal. My 2 year old grandson, his father and mother and I all watch in a state of almost helpless fascination.
It is calming, very surreal, mysterious ... Read More:

Dumbo (Special Edition) [1941]
Best Selling > DVD > General
directed by: Ben Sharpsteen

May 07, 2007
Dumbo (1941), Disney's 4th movie, is a film that should be viewed by every child. Touching on subjects important to all children, bullying, parental love and friendship, it is a moving, entertaining and heart-warming story of an elephant, bullied because of his over long ears, who over comes his bullies with the help of his best friend Jeremy the mouse and four, halarious crows to become the most famous elephant ever. The animaton, as always is faultless, at only one hour it isn't as over-indulgent as many of Disney's films and the "pink elephant" sequence ... Read More:

The Sword In The Stone (45th Anniversary Edition) [1963]
Best Selling > DVD > General
starring: Karl Swenson, Rickie Sorenson, Vera Vague, Norman Alden, Alan Napier
directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman

August 18, 2008

As other reviewers have duly noted, this film (first released in 1963) is based on the first of four parts of T.H. White's The Once and Future King (1958), focusing on Arthur's birth, childhood, and youth before he became king of England. The film has been reissued as a 45th anniversary edition. It features the well-selected voices of Sebastian Cabot (Sir Ector/Narrator), Karl Swenson (Merlin), Rickie Sorensen (Arthur/"Wart"), Junius Matthews (Archimedes), and Alan Napier (Sir Pelinore). Frankly, I was underwhelmed when I first saw it many years ago and had ... Read More:

In addition to all the positive things about this DVD I would just also like to mention two drawbacks:
1.) If you don't like the Walt Disney singing parades, this is a no for I'm afraid it contains quite a few
2.) The stories do NOT come to a natural and obvious end but rather one leads on to the other so you do have the debate as to whether the child may not watch a little more ...and just another little more ...
