Tom And Jerry - Classic Collection - Vol. 2

starring: Tex Avery, Joseph Barbera, Billy Bletcher, Daws Butler, Red Coffee
directed by: Tex Avery, Joseph Barbera, Michael Lah, William Hanna

Release Date May 03, 2004
I bought this DVD for the kids to watch in the car during a long drive on holiday in France. I notice that all the other reviews are concerned with the quality/editing/dubbing etc, however my review is aimed at parents who need to keep their kids entertained! My children are 7 and 5, and they laughed for three solid hours. I don't know about other parents, but I was dreading the long drive, however the drive was a pleasure with this DVD playing. It was an unbelievable hit with them and they just loved it. It made for a very harmonious drive through France as we couldn't help laughing at the kids laughing in the back. A brilliant DVD that has become our children's favourite DVD of all time.

Calamity Jane [1953]

starring: Doris Day, Howard Keel, Allyn Ann McLerie, Philip Carey, Dick Wesson
directed by: David Butler

Release Date May 26, 2003
My mum bought this film for me along with My Fair Lady and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers when i had been intrested in theatre and musicals for a while. Now, don't get me wrong the other two are amazing, but this is just top-notch! Along with The Sound Of Music, this is not only my favourite musical, but also my favourite film of all time! It's just a classic, and they never go out of date. Even though i wasn't alive when this first came out, i love it all the same. And Allyn McLerie gives a good performance as Katie Brown too. I watch this film so much. It's brill. And great fun for the whole family. Good to watch with grandparents as they will remember it from their childhood! A Must see!

This is the best film ever but try as I might I can not get hold of it for region 2. If anyone knows where or how I can find this film to play on my DVD player, here in England, I would be grateful.
Same goes for "My Beautiful Son" AKA "Strange Relations" in the American market.

Dumbo

starring: Verna Felton, Herman Bing, Stirling Holloway, Edward Brophy, Billy Bletcher
directed by: Ben Sharpsteen

Release Date April 11, 2005
Dumbo is one of those films that works for all ages- the kids will gleefully follow along with the comic-tragic story of Dumbo and his friend Timothy Mouse; teens and young adults will want to watch it for the strange, surreal animation (and the humor, which is actually at times not quite meant for kids- i.e. the scenes with the crows); adults won't be bored by it in the least when they watch with their children. I would even equate the entertainment value of Dumbo with one of the more recent Pixar films- it's funny, but there are serious elements (in this case fairly dramatic; the animation is lively, detailed, and experimenting with the possibilities; and, its got heart behind its wit. For such a short film, it gives a lot to offer.

directed by: Ben Sharpsteen, Bill Roberts, Clyde Geronimi, H.C. Potter, Jack King

Release Date May 18, 2004
Walt Disney Treasures
ON THE FRONT LINES

This is a brilliant set if you can find a copy, remastered cartoons from WW2 including propaganda and training manuals as well as the movie "Victory Through Air Power" a film Walt Disney made to support the development of long range bombers, which he believed in and based it on the book of the same name. The movie also tells the story of development of aircraft.

The short "Stop the tanks" a training short about the Boys AT-rifle will be of a special interest, it is a blend of cartoon, including parts with Hitler shouting in German such word as sauerkraut and translated differently at the same time (not unlike Top Secret) there are parts with a training instructor of the Canadian army demonstrating ...
