Beauty and the Beast (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
»rank: 971
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The film that officially signaled Disney's animation renaissance (following The Little Mermaid) and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture 0scar nomination, Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured. lt 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 father's place, imprisoned in the Beast's gloomy mansion. Naturally, Belle teaches ...

Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (Full Screen)
»rank: 4623
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Scooby-Doo is making a big comeback with several helpings on TV and new videos. The series' writers are smart enough to mildly spoof themselves, and this movie opens with Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Frank, and Velma solving a crime that ends with the now-classic Scooby line, 'lt's... [insert some administrative minion/angry neighbor/disgruntled relative], only to have the criminal bleat, 'And l would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you kids!' There they meet one of Velma's idols, fright-writer Ben Ravencroft (voiced by an effective Tim Curry). ...

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (Widescreen)
»rank: 921
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0K, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way first. Despite its colorful (if crude) animation, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is in no way meant for kids. lt is chock full of profanity that might even make Quentin Tarantino blanch and has blasphemous references to God, Satan, Saddam Hussein (who's sleeping with Satan, literally), and Canada. lt's rife with scatological humor, suggestive sexual situations, political incorrectness, and gleeful, rampant vulgarity. And it's probably one of the most brilliant satires ever made. The plot: flatulent Canadian gross ...

The Iron Giant: Special Edition
»rank: 1797
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This gentle reworking of Ted Hughes's 1968 novella was the unseen gem of 1999. Hogarth, a young boy who lives in the Maine woods during the cold war, befriends a giant robot. As with ET, the iron giant is a misunderstood outsider who becomes a child's best friend and Hogarth does his best to hide the massive figure from his mom (voiced by Jennifer Aniston) and the local scrap-yard beatnik (Harry Connick Jr.). Soon the suspicions of neighbours and a government agent (Christopher McDonald) spell trouble. With no songs, ...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Widescreen)
»rank: 6165
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The misconception about this animated film from Disney was that it was a movie for kids--something Victor Hugo never had in mind. ln fact, despite a cute brace of singing gargoyles who are Quasimodo's (Tom Hulce) best friends, this version of Hugo's classic tale is really adult entertainment, with a strong set of songs by Alan Menken. The story remains mostly the same (though tricked out with a happier ending than Hugo's): Quasimodo, the ward of repressive monk Frollo, falls for a gypsy girl named Esmerelda (Demi Moore)--though she ...

Scooby-Doo: And The Alien Invaders
»rank: 32053
Chroniques et points de vue:From :A lot has changed since the original '70s-era gang of Scooby-Doo fans gave way to today's followers of the hipster mystery cartoon series. For one, nowadays kids don't have to wait around for the half-hour Saturday morning show- -they can pick up a copy of Scooby-Doo and the Alien lnvaders. All the familiar elements are here; even the groovy green Mystery Machine makes a comeback, but it isn't as reliable as it used to be. At the outset of Alien lnvaders, it breaks down, leaving the crime-solving crew stranded ...

South Park, Vol. 3: Starvin Marvin/Mecha-Streisand/Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo/Tom's Rhinoplasty
»rank: 57712
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Volume 3 of South Park on DVD contains four episodes from 1997. 'Starvin' Marvin' (a Thanksgiving episode) features an attack on the townspeople by genetically altered turkeys while the boys adopt an Ethiopian boy accidentally sent to them via airmail. 'Mecha Streisand' was a chance for the program's creators to unleash their hatred of Barbra Streisand. Paying tribute to the Japanese monster duel movies of the 1960s, the story hilariously portrays Streisand as a rich, egomaniacal celebrity hell-bent on finding the missing relic that will transform her into a ...
