The legendary masterpiece that inspired millions to believe in their dreams has reawakened with state-of-the-art digital restoration that shines brilliantly on DVD. The richly detailed animation, unforgettable award-winning music (When You Wish Upon A Star) and heartwarming adventure-filled story come to life like never before.Join Geppetto's beloved puppet-with Jiminy Cricket as his guide- on a thrilling quest that tests Pinocchio's bravery, loyalty and honesty, virtues he must learn to become a real boy. The one and only Pinocchio will live on forever in the heart of anyone who has wished upon a star.
A Disney "classic" that actually is a classic, Dumbo should be part of your movie collection whether or not you have children. The storytelling was never as lean as in Dumbo, the songs rarely as haunting (or just plain weird), the characters rarely so well defined. The film pits the "cold, cruel, heartless" world that can't accept abnormality against a plucky, and mute, hero. Jumbo Jr. (Dumbo is a mean-spirited nickname) is ostracised from the circus pack shortly after his delivery by the stork because of his big ears. His mother sticks up for him and is shackled. He's jeered by children (an insightful scene has one boy poking fun at Dumbo's ears, even though the youngster's ears are also ungainly), used by the circus folk, and demoted to appearing with the clowns. Only the decent Timothy Q. Mouse looks out for the little guy. Concerns about the un-PC "Jim Crow" crows, who mock Dumbo with the wonderful "When I See an Elephant Fly", should be moderated by remembering that the crows are the only social group in the film who act kindly to the little outcast. If you don't mist up during the "Baby Mine" scene, you may be legally pronounced dead. --Keith Simanton

'Fun And Fancy Free' Walt Disney's 9th full-length animated masterpiece is a delightful gem that sparkles with charm and is rich in history-making Disney moments. It was the last animated feature starring Walt Disney as the voice of Mickey Mouse and the only film featuring all four of Walt Disney's most famous characters -- Mickey Mouse Donald Duck Goofy and Jiminy Cricket. Following Disney's classic tradition of great storytelling unforgettable characters music and adventur
This legendary animated feature is surely beyond criticism by now and, furthermore, it's unlikely that we'll see such forceful narrative in a kids' cartoon ever again. Disney's treatment of Collodi's story of the little wooden puppet who wants nothing more than to be a real boy is always guaranteed to have audiences entranced. While some of the movie's success is derived from its liberal use of the kind of imagery no children's film-maker would even attempt to get past the storyboard stage today--a mysterious island where children smoke cigars, get drunk and turn into donkeys, a monstrous, malicious sea-creature which is devoid of any trace of cuddliness and a pair of villains who routinely abduct children, to give just a few examples--the characters are depicted with the finest attention to detail, most of the songs have become classics in their own right ("When You Wish Upon a Star" being only one of many) and the graceful, stylised animation positively glows with fine detail. Essential family viewing. --Roger Thomas
Pinocchio, Walt Disney's masterpiece of classic animation, has been released from the Disney vault as a special two disc 70th anniversary Platinum Edition on Disney DVD and Blu-ray for a limited time only.
Limited edition 6 film box set
His Girl Friday is one of the five greatest dialogue comedies ever made. Howard Hawks had his cast play it at breakneck speed, and audiences hyperventilate trying to finish with one laugh so they can do justice to the four that have accumulated in the meantime. Rosalind Russell, not Hawks' first choice to play Hildy Johnson--the ace newsperson whom demonic editor Walter Burns is trying to keep from quitting and getting married--is triumphant in the part, holding her own as "one of the guys" and creating an enduring feminist icon. Cary Grant's Walter Burns is a force of nature, giving a performance of such concentrated frenzy and diamond brilliance that you owe it to yourself to devote at least one viewing of the movie to watching him alone. But then you have to go back (lucky you) and watch it again for the sake of the press-room gang--Roscoe Karns, Porter Hall, Cliff Edwards, Regis Toomey, Frank Jenks, and others--the kind of ensemble work that gets character actors onto Parnassus. --Richard T Jameson, Amazon.com

Whilst America was massing its forces at the beginning of World War 2, Britain had to keep the Germans at bay by mounting commando raids. To do this, the Allies created special task forces, one of which - the 1st Special Service Force - is destined for a raid on Norway. This force consists of Canadian and American conscripts and is lead by Lt. Col. Robert T. Frederick (William Holden), who has the daunting task of moulding this renegade group into a crack team of commando warriors. But when t...

His Girl Friday (Dir. Howard Hawks 1940): Perhaps the funniest comedy ever made. This inspired adaptation adds an extra dimension of exploitation by turning Hildy Johnson into Walter Burns ex-wife. A classic unrelenting hilarious war-between-the-sexes comedy in which a reporter and her ex-husband editor helps a condemned man escape the law - while at the same time furthering their own ends as they try to get the big scoop on political corruption in the town.
