 | | 2. Up (4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack) new! | | | Director: Peter Docter | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 |  | Up - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/10/2009 4:23 PM | | With the kind of winning streak that Pixar’s got going for it, it’s almost impossible to temper expectations before experiencing their latest film. As of yet, it’s also unnecessary; the studio’s combination of technical wizardry and masterful storytelling has produced a remarkable string of films that have achieved commercial success and critical acclaim with equal universality. Far be it from Pixar’s tenth feature, Up, to break the mold, and indeed, it’s one of the studio’s most touching and accomplished works to date. Not many could’ve spun gold from a story with a cranky octogenarian as its protagonist, but Pixar never panders with its storytelling, and that ends up creating a piece of art that effectively touches all ages on different emotional levels. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Schoolhouse Rock (30th Anniversary Edition) | | | Director: Tom Warburton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/5/2005 | User Rating: 5 | | Schoolhouse Rock! - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/12/2008 3:28 PM | |
"But I know I'll be a law someday / at least I hope and pray / that I will / but today / I am still / just a bill..." Man, I love that song. And boy does listening to it again on this 30th Anniversary DVD brings the memories back. (Ya know, 1973 to 2002 isn't quite 30 years, but who's counting? Er, counting? Wait a sec...) . As you might expect, this long-anticipated two-disc DVD set includes all 46 original songs made for ABC's Schoolhouse Rock! For the uninitiated, Schoolhouse Rock! was not quite a TV show, not quite a commercial. I was all of two years old when it got started, and frankly I'm not quite sure what these music videos were all about, when they were aired, or why. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Dinosaurs-3rd and 4th Seasons | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/1/2007 | | Dinosaurs - The Complete Third and Fourth Seasons - DVD By: Sombrero Grande - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/1/2007 2:42 AM | | Dinosaurs ran on the ABC network for four seasons in the early 1990s. The elaborate brainchild of Jim Henson, it showcased “live” anthropomorphic dinosaurs living a caricature of our modern suburban lifestyle. Part The Simpsons, part The Flintstones, and part The Muppet Show, Dinosaurs took familiar elements and fused them together into a family sitcom that was unlike anything anyone had seen before or since.

 | | 12. Ice Age 3-Dawn of the Dinosaur new! | | | Director: Carlos Saldanha | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/27/2009 | | Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/16/2009 5:10 PM | |
The third installment of Fox’s startlingly successful Ice Age series suggests that this coldly calculated animated franchise may have finally run out of steam. Perhaps even the studio has realized this, since the new film moves away from the earlier ones’ drab frozen tundra setting and replaces their geniality with too much spectacle and slapstick. Feeling left out of the birth plans of his mammoth friends Manny (Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah), Sloth Sid (John Leguizamo) stumbles upon a collection of giant eggs in an underground cave and decides to raise them as his own. Imagine Sid’s surprise when the eggs hatch to reveal a trio of baby T-Rexes -- and he discovers that their angry mother wants them back. read the full review | |

So now Ellie, Manny and Diego (who eventually returns) must get Sid back. What they find is an underground cavern with a hidden world of dinosaurs, they meet Buckminster (Simon Pegg) who is their guide this new world as well as adding comic relief as the original characters seem to have lost some of their charm. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Madagascar-Escape 2 Africa (Widescreen) | | | Director: Eric Darnell Tom McGrath | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/23/2009 7:46 PM | |
To a film critic, the mainstream is like a ravenous shark with a defective hypothalamus. As long as Hollywood seeds the entertainment waters with chum, the masses will feed and feed until their dead, lifeless eyes roll back in their head. Examples of this baffling binge and purge are released every year -- inexplicable, unexplainable crowd-pleasers like Wild Hogs, Norbit, and Night at the Museum. Now comes Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the even louder, more obnoxious sequel to Dreamworks' loud, obnoxious CG original. This is a film about more: More already dated pop culture references, more digitally-rendered eye candy, more abject pandering to a seemingly easy-to-satisfy demographic. read the full review | |
