A Bug's Life [VHS] Walt Disney Home Video Disneys cartoon comedy for the whole family There was such a magic on the screen in 1995 when the people at Pixar came up with the first fully computer-animated film Toy Story Their second feature film A Bugs Life may miss the bulls-eye but Pixars target is so lofty its hard to find the film anything less than irresistible Brighter and more colorful than the other animated insect movie of 1998 Antz A Bugs Life is the sweetly told story of Flik voiced by David Foley an ant searching for better ways to be a bug His colony unfortunately revolves around feeding and fearing the local grasshoppers lead by Hopper voiced with gleeful menace by Kevin Spacey When Flik accidentally destroys the seasonal food supply for the grasshoppers he decides to look for help We need bigger bugs The ants led by Princess Atta Julia Louis-Dreyfus are eager to dispose of the troublesome Flik Yet he finds help--a hearty bunch of bug warriors--and brings them back to the colony Unfortunately they are just traveling performers afraid of conflict As with Toy Story the ensemble of creatures and voices is remarkable and often inspired Highlights include wiseacre comedian Denis Leary as an un-ladylike ladybug Joe Ranft as the German-accented caterpillar David Hyde Pierce as a stick bug and Michael McShane as a pair of unintelligible pillbugs The scene-stealer is Attas squeaky-voiced sister baby Dot Hayden Panettiere who has a big sweet spot for Flik More gentle and kid-friendly than Antz A Bug Lifes still has some good suspense and a wonderful demise of the villain However the film--a giant worldwide hit--will be remembered for its most creative touch outtakes over the end credits la many live-action comedy films These dozen or so scenes both editions of outtakes are contained here are brilliant and deserve a special place in film history right along with 1998s other most talked-about sequence the opening Normandy invasion in Saving Private Ryan The video also contains Pixars delightful Oscar-winning short Geris Game Box art varies --Doug Thomas Shrek (Special Edition) [VHS] Dreamworks Video Very clean good condition fast shipping William Steigs delightfully fractured fairy tale is the right stuff for this computer-animated adaptation full of verve and wit Our title character voiced by Mike Myers is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace When the diminutive Lord Farquaad John Lithgow evicts local fairy-tale creatures including the now-famous Seven Dwarfs Pinocchio and the Gingerbread Man they settle in the ogres swamp and Shrek wants answers from Farquaad A quest of sorts starts for Shrek and his new pal a talking donkey Eddie Murphy where battles have to be won and a princess Cameron Diaz must be rescued from a dragon lair in a thrilling action sequence The story is stronger than most animated fare but its the humor that makes Shrek a winner The PG rating is stretched when Murphy and Myers hit their strides The mild potty humor is fun enough for 10-year-olds but will never embarrass their parents Shrek is never as warm and inspired as the Toy Story films but the realistic computer animation and a rollicking soundtrack keep the entertainment in fine form Produced by DreamWorks the film also takes several delicious stabs at its crosstown rival Disney --Doug Thomas Pinocchio (Walt Disney's Masterpiece) Walt Disney Walt Disney Home Video The Tigger Movie (Disney's) [VHS] Walt Disney Home Video In the classic tradition of Disneys animated feature films the first Winnie The Pooh theatrical feature in 23 years weaves magical storytelling charming characters and memorable songs into an enchanting tale of adventure and heart As it happens the whole gang is busy preparing a suitably gloomy winter home for Eeyore When everything they do seems to get undone by Tiggers exuberant bouncing Rabbit suggests Tigger go outside and find other tiggers to bounce with -- a notion Tigger finds ridiculous because after all hes the onliest one Or is he And so begins Tiggers amazing journey to find his family This whimsical and touching film will bounce right into your heart -- and feet Schoolhouse Rock!
