up review

what a brilliant film. the whole family enjoyed it. watch it with a hanky though.

UP

I bought this for my grandson in Australia, whom I am told loved it. I didn't watch it myself but suffice to say that he loved it is enough. The service and efficiency which I received was excellent if that helps.

SB is an air head

Just before the 3rd good fairy is able to deliver her original wish, Maleficent appears to spoil the party.

So what was the third wish going to be ?

Well it's obvious. Intelligence.

SB is your stereotypical dumb blonde. An air head in fact. A total la la. She missed out on the original 3rd wish big time.

That said, what a great film. A film that means different things to everyone at whatever stage of life you are at. The symbolism is potent.

One of the best.

Now where's Cinders ?

Couldnt use DVD

Arrived in great time but couldnt use this product in any of our DVD players, maybe it was my fault as I didnt read the info properly, might have been nice though if the 'US Import' info was a bit more advertised

Hannah Montana again

I bought this dvd for my granddaughter at her request. She had been to see the film at the cinema with her mum and enjoyed it so she asked for it for Christmas.

It arrived in good time undamaged as usual.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

When you talk about classic animation it doesn't get much more revered or classic that `Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. The animation here is simply beautiful, even by today's standards, and this is all the more impressive when you take into account the year this was made, 1937. Even better, it is now digitally restored for it's latest release. This is a wonderful fairytale that is full of charm, none of which has diminished over time. This has the delightful dwarf characters and each one adds something unique to the film, of course Dopey is the most hilarious and the one that had me laughing out loud regularly. These dwarfs have now become representative of Disney's early art and are still seen around the parks and on advertising even today. This film has a dark edge to the story that is lacking from the saccharine modern Disney films and this darkness compliments and highlights the light in the rest of the film and in my opinion it is all the better for it. There are nice animated touches throughout, like the detailed carvings in the dwarf house and the forest animals expressions and actions and show the attention to detail Disney brought to his films. This package includes various extras and games, most of which are aimed at kids, but there is a commentary by Walt Disney that is fascinating and of interest to an adult audience. All in all this is classic and beautiful film and well worth adding to your Disney collection.

Got this DVD for my 3yr old daughter she abs loves it the Disney classics never age

Excellent Blu-ray for Toy Story 2

This being an older Pixar release, I was a bit unsure about whether to order it. I feared it may be a DVD upscale or some other rehash - or that the source material simply wouldn't look as good over 10 years (and many other excellent Pixar films) later.

All these fears were unfounded. The transfer is quite simply excellent. There are one or two moments with a little digital noise (in bright areas) and some anti-aliasing issues but they really are very, very minor indeed. The textures are more plain in design and colour than later Pixar efforts but everything is rendered absolutely pin-sharp. The colours, though plain as I say, are very rich indeed. Some scenes show breathtaking detail and the whole feel is really appealing and very suited to the 'toy' setting and characters.

The sound is a Master Audio track. It's very powerful indeed, so much so that I lost the dialogue in some places. However this could have been because I was listening quietly. Overall the sound treatment is excellent.

There are a few extras on the Blu-ray (I haven't checked the bundled DVD yet; it appears to duplicate the Blu-ray but with a bit less content). They are mainly short, funny - and rather odd - 'cartoons' about the production of Toy Story 2. They are charming enough. There doesn't appear to be a Pixar short in the package though, from my first quick glance at all the extras. There is an audio commentary though.

To sum up, if you like the film, don't be put off by the lack of reviews. I was initially but there was nothing to worry about. The transfer is great, the film doesn't show its age and does stand up very well even against recent Pixar masterpieces like the Up and WALL-E Blu-rays.

Very highly recommended!

(It also seems like it's a region-free Blu-ray too, judging by the A-B-C playable regions printed on the disc, though this is untested and unconfirmed.)

DVD Purchase

Very happy with my purchase, it was as described and arrived promptly, delighted with the service

disappointed

Thought this was a new, sealed, cellophaned video - wrong! Never mind, you get what you pay for. I'll just get another one as it was meant for a gift.

Delivery was swift and packaging was good - no complaints there.

Bolt is fantastic

This film had everything a good family film should have. Whilst providing an amusing and heart warming story, it also had all the qualities of loyalty, friendship and good family values. Thoroughly enjoyed it - it even made me almost cry at the end when Bolt was trying to save his beloved owner. Superb

Supreme

As an avowed fan of both Studio Ghibli and Pixar i would have to say this is the best effort from either (although i've yet to see Ponyo), truely animation for grown-ups anyone who watches this a does not have a lump in their throat at the end has a heart of stone, and i feel sorry for you! Very near the top of my top 5 films of all time. The little short that accompanies this addition is very special as well...both warm, lovely and golden.

Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie-$

I really enjoyed this. The acting from all the stars including Selena Gomez was astonishing. The Disney series is alot more funny, but the movie is really good and more dramatic. This DVD is a must for all Wizard fans and for anyone who hasnt even heard about Disne's Wizards of Waverly Place!

Wizard in training, Alex Russo does not want to go on vacation. When forced to go on the trip with her family, Alex accidently casts a spell wishing that her parents had never met. Now, Alex and her brother Justin must use all the magic they have to find the stone of dreams, the only way to break the spell. Can they find it while there magic is at its weakest and before their entire family cease to excist?

This is a fantastic movie I would reccomend it to anyone!-$
