Dreamer/Lassie/Valiant DVD

Dreamer: Ben Crane (Kurt Russell) was once a great horseman whose gifts as a trainer are now being wasted on making other men's fortunes. Sonador called 'Sonya' was once a great horse whose promising future on the racetrack was suddenly cut short by a career-ending broken leg. Considered as good as dead to her owner who also happens to be Ben's boss Sonya is given to Ben as severance pay along with his walking papers. Now it will take the unwavering faith and determination of Ben's young daughter Cale (Dakota Fanning) to bring these two damaged souls together... in a quest for a seemingly impossible goal: to win the breeders' Cup Classic. However the true miracle might be that in helping this injured horse what they are actually healing is their own family... Lassie: Based on Eric Knight's 1938 novel about the most trustworthy of pooches Lassie Come Home the film is set on the eve of World War II in a Yorkshire mining town in northern England. The Carraclough family fall on hard times and have to sell Lassie to the Duke of Rudling (Peter O'Toole). Transported to the Duke's remote castle in the north of Scotland Lassie is determined to escape from the clutches of the Duke and his evil trainer in an effort to make her way home for Christmas and return to the family she loves... Valiant: Despite his small stature Valiant's ambitions are enormous as he keeps a stiff upper beak and endures rigorous training in preparation for a dangerous mission to deliver vital messages to troops behind enemy lines. With a shortage of wingpower in the royal fleet due to increased attacks by a brigade of vicious enemy falcons (led by the ruthless General Von Talon) the mission falls to Valiant and the unlikely heroes of ""Squad F"" to try and save the day. With a wing and a prayer Valiant and his fine feathered pals fly into harm's way and prove that it's not the size of the wingspan that counts but the size of the spirit! Filled with adventure comedy and memorable characters Valiant delivers great entertainment for audiences of all ages. John Cleese Tim Curry Jim Broadbent and an all-star vocal cast of British favourites also add to the fun and excitement of this imaginative feature. . [show more]
