characters created by Burton the former Disney animator best known as the director of Pee-wees Big Adventure Beetlejuice Edward Scissorhands and the first two Batman movies His benignly scary-funny sensibility dominates the story of Halloweentown resident Jack Skellington voice by Danny Elfman who also wrote the songs who stumbles on a bizarre and fascinating alternative universe called Christmastown Directed by Henry Selick who later made the delightful James and the Giant Peach this PG-rated picture has a reassuringly light touch As Roger Ebert noted in his review some of the Halloween creatures might be a tad scary for smaller children but this is the kind of movie older kids will eat up it has the kind of offbeat subversive energy that tells them wonderful things are

CHILDREN/ FAMILY Rating G UPC 786936746228 Manufacturer No 05560800 Disneys 1959 animated effort was the studios most ambitious to date a widescreen spectacle boasting a gorgeous waltz-filled score adapting Tchaikovsky In the 14th century the malevolent Maleficent not dissimilar to the wicked Queen in Disneys Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs taunts a king that his infant Aurora will fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday This of course would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love Things almost but not quite turn out that way thanks to the assistance of some bubbly bumbling fairies named Flora Fauna and Merryweather Its not really all that much about the title character--how interesting can someone in the middle of a long nap be anyway Instead those fairies carry the day as well as of course good Prince Phillip whose battle with the malevolent Maleficent in the guise of a dragon has been co-opted by any number of animated films since See it in its original glory here And Malificents castle filled with warthogs and demonic imps in a macabre dance celebrating their evil ways manages a certain creepy grandeur -- David Kronke On the Blu-ray / Sleeping Beauty was the last and most lavish of Walt Disneys animated fairy tales He told the artists not to hurry and to give him a moving illustration The film required almost four and one-half years and one million finished drawings Instead of the 19th century storybook illustrations that had influenced the look of Snow White and Pinocchio the artists adapted the flattened perspective and jewel-like colors of 15th century French illuminated manuscripts The results remain unmatched for sheer visual opulence However Sleeping Beauty suffers from a weak story the vision of an ageless princess slumbering in a vine-shrouded tower was replaced with elements of Snow White and a boy-meets-girl musical The evil Maleficent and the three Good Fairies Flora Fauna and Merryweather dominate the film rather than Princess Aurora and Prince Philip Sleeping Beauty was originally released in 70mm and the Blu-ray edition restores the film to its original splendor Many earlier releases trimmed the wide-screen images and/ or muted the glowing palatte The Bonus DVD looks good on a flat screen monitor but it pales in comparison to the richness of the Blu-ray In addition to the commentaries The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition) Walt Disney Video Disneys THE LION KING SPECIAL EDITION features an all-new song Morning Report and never-before-seen animation giving you even more of this award-winning masterpiece -- the greatest animated adventure of all time An unforgettable story breathtaking animation beloved characters and Academy Award R -winning music Best Original Score 1994 Best Song Can You Feel The Love Tonight set the stage for the adventures of Simba the feisty lion cub who just cant wait to be king But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne and he forces Simbas exile from the kingdom Alone and adrift Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal Pumbaa Adopting their carefree lifestyle of Hakuna Matata Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the Circle of Life Now extensively restored and remastered -- experience THE LION KING like never before from its magnificent musical opening over breathtaking African vistas to its emotional climax The all-star vocal talents -- including Matthew Broderick Jeremy Irons Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella -- rip-roaring comedy and uplifting messages of courage loyalty and hope make this timeless tale entertainment for all ages Not an ideal choice for younger kids this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production The story finds a lion cub son of a king sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle The little hero finds his way into the circle of life with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place Characters are very strong vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons Nathan Lane and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific the jokes are aimed as much if not more at adults than kids the animation is sometimes breathtaking and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features But be cautious this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd --Tom Keogh How good-looking is the DVD restoration of Disneys popular animated film Take a look at the serviceable but dull film clips incorporated in the plethora of extras and compare them to the vivid gorgeousness of the film presentation This special edition also adds a 90-second song Morning Report that originated in the lavish stage musical To Disneys credit the original theatrical version is also included both restored and featuring two 5 1 soundtracks Dolby Digital and a new Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix which does sound brighter As with the Disney Platinum line everything is thrown into the discs except an outsiders voice the rah-rahs of Disney grow tiresome at times The excellent commentary from the directors and producer originally on the laser disc is hidden under the audio set-up menu The second disc is organized by 20-minute-ish journeys tackling the elements of story music et cetera including good background on the awkward Shakespearean origins at Disney where it was referred as Bamlet The most interesting journey follows the landmark stage production and the kids should be transfixed by shots of the real African wildlife in the animal journey Three deleted segments are real curios including an opening lyric for Hakuna Matata Most set-top DVD games are usually pretty thin DVD-ROM is where its at but the Safari game is an exception--the kids should love the roaring animals in 5 1 Surround no less One serious demerit goes to the needless and complicated second navigation system that is listed by continent but just shows the same features reordered The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition) TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENT 20th Century Fox Shot in Salzburg against the majestic Bavarian Alps THE SOUND

Prince Will Come Audio Commentary with Walt Disney One of the brightest nuggets from Disneys golden age this 1937 film is almost dizzying in its meticulous construction of an enchanted world with scores of major and minor characters including fauna and fowl each with a distinct identity When you watch Snow Whites intricate graceful movements of fingers arms and head all in one shot it is not the technical brilliance of Disneys artists that leaps out at you but the very spirit of her engaging girl-woman character When the wicked queens poisoned apple turns from killer green to rose red the effect of knowing something so beautiful can be so terrible is absolutely elemental so pure it forces one to surrender to the horror of it Based on the Grimm fairy tale Snow White is probably the best family film ever to deal in mythic terms with the psychological foundation for growing up Its a crowning achievement and should not be missed em --Tom Keogh / em / span class h1 / span span class h1 /
