The Princess and The Frog (Three Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo with Digital...   The Princess and The Frog (Three Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo with Digital Copy)
(Marco Chacon)  3/15/2010 8:31 PM EST
Disney's Holiday 2009 animated film, The Princess and The Frog, comes to DVD and Blu-ray this week. This is the first Disney 2D release in quite some time. In the realm of animation, there might be other contenders, but in the realm of children's animated movies, Disney is the king; and all the more so when they acquired Pixar. Across ...

Kiki's Delivery Service (Two-Disc Special Edition)   Kiki's Delivery Service (Two-Disc Special Edition)
(Marco Chacon)  3/15/2010 7:31 PM EST
Japanese animation giant, Hayao Miyazaki, effortlessly creates imaginary worlds and brings them to life. Kiki's Delivery Service is based on a book by the same name; and it translates as Witch's Delivery Service, by Japanese children's author, Eiko Kadono. It was released in 1989 and won a slew of awards. Disney has re-released it as on...

My Neighbor Totoro (Two-Disc Special Edition)   My Neighbor Totoro (Two-Disc Special Edition)
(Marco Chacon)  3/11/2010 7:31 PM EST
Most other studios do not know animation that way Disney does.  But their purchase of Pixar, and their management of US-region Studio, Studio Ghibli (the Japanese studio behind Miyazaki), proves that they are dedicated to being not just a top animation house, but the top animation house.  Given their portfolio, I would say they have suc...

(Nathan M Rose)  3/10/2010 3:23 PM EST
With the climatic season finale of Hannah Montana debuting on the Disney Chanel later on this month, Walt Disney Home Entertainment lets the rabid Hannah fans get their fix early -- With Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye.

Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You Special Edition   Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You Special Edition
(Roger Logenbach)  1/10/2010 11:00 AM EST
Released on January 5, 2009, this is a special collection of the Valentine’s Day related shows of Winnie the Pooh. Considering that Valentine’s Day is one holiday that is bereft of children’s shows, this video should be one to pick up if you enjoy Winnie the Pooh and would like alternatives for Valentine’s Day. ...

Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (2009)   Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (2009)
(Nathan M Rose)  12/24/2009 10:00 AM EST
For the last couple of years the Russo have been making a splash on the Disney Chanel with their sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place. Now this fall as a Disney channel special the Wizards of Waverly place had their own movie which has been released on DVD just in time for the holiday season.  While on vacation, Alex (Selena Gomez) accidentally cas...

G-Force   G-Force
(Marco Chacon)  12/21/2009 10:00 PM EST
The movie, G-Force, is about a government-run team of guinea pigs that talk, use high-tech gear, and are able to infiltrate anything.  When an unauthorized mission gets the team disbanded, they have to team up with spirited, regular animals to put a stop to a dastardly plan involving animated appliances.  It isn't deep, but it is li...

Walt Disney Treasures: Zorro   Walt Disney Treasures: Zorro
(Backlot Bob)  11/12/2009 7:19 PM EST
Even by today's TV ratings standards, it is difficult to comprehend the domination that Walt Disney entertainment had on television in the late 50's. More people were watching the Mouseketeers , Davy Crockett , and various other episodal elements of the Disneyland TV show, than tune in today to many popular prime time shows. All of these became ...

Mickey's Magical Christmas   Mickey's Magical Christmas
(Roger Logenbach)  11/2/2009 1:15 PM EST
I’m not going to do my standard review for this movie, mainly because this is a concert/documentary film rather than a regular “fiction” movie.   In March 2009, Michael Jackson announced to the world that he was going to do one final set of concerts: “This Is It”, only at the O2 Arena in London. On...

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure   Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
(Marco Chacon)  11/2/2009 1:13 PM EST
Having a seven-year-old daughter and a Blu-ray player, I am at ground-zero for the target market for this Disney release.  The Disney straight-to-video products are a mixed bag in terms of quality.  Off the top of my head, I can't think of any that are eye-bleatingly bad; but as you would expect, the straight-to-video stuff pretty much fa...

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Blu-ray   Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Blu-ray
(Backlot Bob)  10/6/2009 7:23 PM EST
It seems like only yesterday when we were discussing the wonderful restoration of this timeless classic to the DVD format. Luckily, there is enough SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS history in the Disney Archives to fill any ever-expanding future format, leaving no doubt that we will be reviewing this title again in the future. In fact, I will apolo...

Coming out on September 22, 2009, this is the three episode crossover of Disney’s The Wizards of Waverly Place, The Suite Life on Deck, and Hannah Montana.   While many crossover episodes are used for cross-promotion only, with very little story between them all, these all mesh into two big story lines: the adventures of Just...

(Roger Longenbach)  8/24/2009 9:31 PM EST
Coming out on August 25, 2009, this is the first DVD from the popular “followup” to The Suite Life of Zach & Cody: The Suite Life on Deck. Yes, both Zach and Cody are there, but instead of the Tipton Hotel, they are living on the S.S. Tipton. Owned my London Tipton’s father, they will sail the seven seas and attend ...

Coming out on August 25, 2009, this is the first DVD from the Sonny with a Chance show from the Disney Channel. Sonny with a Chance stars Demi Levato (Camp Rock, Princess Protection Program) as Sonny. To understand the premise of the show, you actually have to watch the first episode, which is included on this disc.   Sonny Mo...

Coming out on August 18, 2009, Hannah Montana: The Movie is a surprisingly emotional film that continues the story from television of Hannah Montana, a pop star with a secret: The secret is that she doesn’t exist - she is actually Miley Stewart (played by Miley Cyrus), a country girl from Tennessee. Miley has the best of both world...

(Nathan M Rose)  8/2/2009 9:31 PM EST
For decades, the Disney name has been synonymous with family entertainment.  But in recent years, this usually meant younger female audiences that shied away from the young boy audience.   However, this is all about to change as Walt Disney Pictures brings their re-imagining of the 1970's classic, Escape to Witch Mountain, to the sil...

If you have ever wanted to own Disney classic animated films without the engaging Leonard Maltin introductions, without the behind-the-scenes footage, without the original trailers, without the remastered film and audio, without the bonus footage, without the….well, I’m not sure why, but here it is -   The Walt Disney Animation C...
