Home Video Imaginatively rendered but slightly chilly this 1951 Disney adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is also appropriately surreal Alice voiced by Kathryn Beaumont has all the anticipated experiences shrinking and growing meeting the White Rabbit having tea with the Mad Hatter etc Characterization is very strong and the Disney team worked hard to bring screen personality to Carrolls eccentric creations For a Disney film however it seems more the self-satisfied sum of its inventiveness than a truly engaging experience --Tom Keogh Beauty and the Beast (A Walt Disney Classic) [VHS] Walt Disney Home Video Disneys Classic 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 transformed into an inspired Busby Berkeley homage Since Ashmans passing animated musicals havent quite reached the same exhilarating level of wit sophistication and pure joy --David Kronke --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title Cinderella (Walt Disney's Masterpiece) [VHS] Walt Disney Home Video Disneys adaptation of the beloved fairy tale became a classic in its own right thanks to some memorable tunes including A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo and the title song and some endearingly cute comic relief We all know the story--the wicked stepmother and stepsisters simply wont have it this uppity Cinderella thinking shes going to a ball designed to find the handsome prince an appropriate sweetheart but perseverance animal buddies and a well-timed entrance by a fairy godmother make sure things turn out all right There are a few striking sequences of pure animation--for example Cinderella is reflected in bubbles drifting through the air--and the design is rich and evocative throughout Its a simple story padded here agreeably with comic business particularly Cinderellas rodent pals dressed up conspicuously like the dwarf sidekicks of another famous Disney heroine and their misadventures with a wretched cat named Lucifer Theres also much harrumphing and exposition spouting by the King and the Grand Duke Its a much simpler and more graceful work than the more frenetically paced animated films of today which makes it simultaneously quaint and highly gratifying --David Kronke Toy Story [VHS] Walt Disney Home Video There is greatness in film that can be discussed dissected and talked about late into the night Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed and nary a word needs to be spoken This kind of entertainment is what they used to call movie magic and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature Just a picture of these bright toys reawaken the kid in us Filmmaker John Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second much like another film innovator Walt Disney r / r / Lasseters story is universal and magical what do toys do when theyre not played with Cowboy Woody voiced by Tom Hanks Andys favorite bedroom toy tries to calm the other toys some original some classic during a wrenching time of year--the birthday party when newer toys may replace them Sure enough Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear Tim Allen is the new toy that takes over the throne Buzz has a crucial flaw though--he believes hes the real Buzz Lightyear not a toy Lasseter further scores with perfect voice casting including Don Rickles as Mr Potato Head and Wallace Shawn as a meek dinosaur The director-animator won a special Oscar for the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film In other words the movie is great em --Doug Thomas / em Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies [VHS] Warner Home Video Richard Simmons is the king of motivational exercise especially if youre a beginner This video workout is a dance party simulating a class reunion with an energizing live band playing lively hits from the 50s and 60s such as Its My Party and Ill Cry If I Want To Great Balls of Fire and Dancing in the Streets The singers and musicians sometimes come offstage and dance with the exercisers adding to the energy and festivity The choreography is very simple low impact light intensity and appropriate for beginners and overweight exercisers You may not get your heart rate up if youre very fit although youll enjoy the music Richard doesnt do much in the way of cueing--he assumes youll just follow along His onscreen class has women and men of all body shapes and sizes and everyone is having a blast You will too At the end the exercisers dance down the floor and the screen flashes how many pounds theyve lost--several have lost more than 100 pounds 22

Hanks and Tim Allen TOY STORY introduced Woody the Cowboy and Buzz Lightyear a space age action figure Along with a supporting cast of funny friends TOY STORY will entertain the entire family with action adventure and sidesplitting laughs Joining the original voice cast in TOY STORY 2 is a roundup of unforgettable new characters including Jessie the Cowgirl and Stinky Pete the prospector Winner of the Golden Globe R award for Best Picture this box office smash is full of laugh-out-loud humor wonderful music and eye-popping animation John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages Like the few great movie sequels Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here as we find out Woody voiced by Tom Hanks is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rare doll from a popular 60s childrens show When a greedy collector takes Woody Buzz Lightyear Tim Allen launches a rescue mission with Andys other toys To say more would be a crime because this is one of the most creative and smile-inducing films since well the first Toy Story Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature Pixar shows how much technology has advanced the human characters look more human backgrounds are superior and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling And its a hoot for kids and adults The film is packed with spoofs easily accessible in-jokes and inspired voice casting with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates the filmmakers are storytellers first Woodys heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living forever Toy Story 2 also achieved something in the U S two other outstanding 1999 animated features The Iron Giant Princess Mononoke could not it became a huge box-office hit --Doug Thomas

deserves much of the hype its receiving A mixture of boxing punches and martial arts kicks Tae-Bo is fun and easy One of the best elements of this four-tape set is that the first tape which is 40

a 57-minute workout that will have your heart racing pulse pounding and sweat glands working overtime Theres razzmatazz on the moves with slightly more complicated combinations that should be fairly easy to master if youve completed the first two tapes This video seriously raises the bar on the difficulty factor In addition to the short warm-up the cool-down and the 30 minutes of Tae-Bo Advanced Tae-Bo also includes 18 minutes of muscle-crunching floor work You know youre in trouble when even the guys in the tape have trouble keeping up Make sure you have truly mastered the first two tapes before attempting this one The 8-Minute Workout is a highly compacted workout actually 14 minutes long when you include warm-up and cool-down for those days when youre too short on time for Basic or Advanced While the 8-minute idea is compelling its not an adequate substitute for the longer workouts Blanks a seven-time World Martial Arts champion is a superb instructor providing encouragement and careful instruction if you dont know by the end of the tape to hold in your stomach thats no ones fault but your own The only downside to these tapes is the less-than-exciting music Not only is Tae-Bo
