 A wonderful,
visually spectacular fantasy about a girl trying to get home after being carried by a
tornado to the strange Land of Oz. Judy Garland will always be remembered for this film
packed with visual treats and catchy songs.
This film explores the sweet
and touching relationship that develops between a 10-year-old boy and an extra-terrestrial
he finds abandoned in his garage. E.T. reminds us of the good, childlike parts
still hidden deep inside ourselves.
Anastasia hooks up with two
con-artists on a journey to Paris. The delightfully evil Rasputin is out to murder the
young Russian princess. Fox gives Disney a run for its money with fantastic animation and
exciting action. Highly recommended.
Cary Elwes is Wesley, the
dashing farmhand who comes to the rescue of his true love (Robin Wright), in Rob Reiner's
star-studded action- adventure /romance /comedy /fairy tale. Adults will find it
hilarious, while kids will love the larger-than-life characters.
Babe is a pig who wins over
the other farm animals, the farm people, and everyone lucky enough to watch this
wonderful, humorous film. The talking animals are remarkable and the story is interesting
and heart warming.

Madeline, a plucky and
resourceful orphan, leads her classmates in a battle to save her school in this adaptation
of the children's books. Hatty Jones and Francis McDormand are terrific, and the story is
full of energy and good humour. It's out on video December 15.
Talking parrot with human
intelligence and personality goes in search of his long-lost first owner. It's great fun
for the whole family and sweet without even a hint of excess sentimentality. Adults will
like it as much as the kids.
All-star voices give life to
an honest, sensitive and good humoured animated feature about a little girl dealing with
her parents’ marriage break-up. Produced by Henry Winkler and directed by legendary
Peanuts director Bill Melendez. Well worth looking for.
The sweet and enjoyable story
of a little puppy who sets off on an incredible wilderness adventure. No high-tech animal
tricks here, just a menagerie of cute animals with diverse personalities and lots of fun
for kids and their families.
Warner Brothers try their
hand at a splashy animated feature. It's refreshing to see a strong female lead character
and a male lead with a disability, but it's disappointing that so much of it is an
imitation of Disney's successes. |
