Toy Story 3 (Four-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) Disney Disney*Pixar What made the original Toy Story so great besides its significant achievement as the first-ever feature-length computer animated film was its ability to instantly transport viewers into a magical world where it seemed completely plausible that toys were living thinking beings who sprang to life the minute they were alone and wanted nothing more than to be loved and played with by their children Toy Story 3 absolutely succeeds in the very same thing--adults and children alike whether theyve seen the original film or not find themselves immediately immersed in a world in which Woody Tom Hanks Buzz Lightyear Tim Allen Jessie Joan Cusack Mr and Mrs Potato Head Don Rickles and Estelle Harris Ham John Ratzenberger Rex Wallace Shawn the aliens and the rest of Andys toys remain completely devoted to Andy John Morris even as hes getting ready to pack up and leave for college Woody scoffs at the other toys worries that theyll end up in the garbage assuring them that theyve earned a spot of honor in the attic but when the toys are mistakenly donated to Sunnyside Daycare Woody is the only toy whose devotion to Andy outweighs the promise of getting played with each and every day Woody sets off toward home alone while the other toys settle in for some daycare fun but things dont turn out quite as expected at the daycare thanks to the scheming strawberry-scented old-timer bear Lots-o-Huggin Ned Beatty Eventually Woody rejoins his friends and they all attempt a daring escape from the daycare which could destroy them all The pacing of the film is impeccable at this point although the sense of peril may prove almost too intense for a few young viewers Pixars 3-D computer animation is top-notch as always and the voice talent in this film is tremendous but in the end its Pixars uncanny ability to combine drama action and humor in a way that irresistibly draws viewers into the world of the film

quaint French village during the late 18th century Beauty and the Beast follows the fantastic adventures of Belle a bright and beautiful young woman who finds escape from her ordinary life and the advances of a boorish suitor Gaston by reading books Meanwhile off in a castle in the distance a cruel young prince is cast under the spell of an enchantress who turns him into a tormented beast while transforming his servants into animated household objects In order to remove the curse the Beast must discover a true love who will return his affection before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose When Belles inventor father stumbles upon the Beasts castle and is taken prisoner Belle comes to the rescue and agrees to take her fathers place With the help of the castles enchanted staff she sees beneath the Beasts exterior and discovers the heart and soul of a human prince The film that officially signaled Disneys animation renaissance following The Little Mermaid and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured It relates the story of Belle a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father when he inadvertently offends the Beast a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself Belle boldly takes her fathers place imprisoned in the Beasts gloomy mansion Naturally Belle teaches the Beast to love What makes this such a dazzler besides the amazingly accomplished animation and the winning coterie of supporting characters the Beasts mansion is overrun by quipping dancing household items is the array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late lamented lyricist Howard Ashman The title song won the 1991 Best Song Oscar and Menkens score scored a trophy as well The downright funniest song is Gaston a louts paean to himself including the immortal line I use antlers in all of my de-co-ra-ting Be Our Guest is

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
