Disney Movie Reviews

Decades after the heyday of movie musicals, and years before "Moulin Rouge" ... there was "NEWSIES."

It's been 10 years since "Newsies" came out (and largely flopped) in theaters. But its many fans (gathered with the video release) are still excited about this movie -- and it's not hard to see why.

"Newsies" is set in 1899 in New York. Before the days of home delivery and newsstands, the newsboys sell papers on the streets. When publisher Joseph Pulitzer (Robert Duvall) starts charging the newsies more for the papers they sell, the boys decide to strike. Led by Jack Kelly (Christian Bale) and David Jacobs (David Moscow), they stand up to intimidation. Along the way, they are helped by a newspaper reporter (Bill Pullman) and a vaudeville performer/theater owner (Ann Margret). The story is uplifting and the actors are all excellent. They sing well, too.

The music by Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors) is good enough to please even hard-core musical fans. At the same time, though, "Newsies" is loved even by people who don't usually like musicals. (My siblings all love it, but they don't like musicals.) Most of the songs are high-energy, catchy and fun, while "Santa Fe" is a great ballad.

Along with the great songs, the dancing in "Newsies" is a fantastic highlight -- very athletic and energetic, with flips and other amazing moves.

About the DVD: Special features include making-of featurettes, the true story, trailers and commentary. The making-of segments are the best of the special features and include cast interviews and footage from filming and dance rehearsals. The true story feature also is very interesting; the movie changes details of the strike but has a surprising amoung of historical accuracy. The commentary isn't great, but it does have some good information on making the movie. (I was not pleased, though, when Kenny Ortega said the DVD would have deleted scenes, which it doesn't.)

"Newsies" is an excellent movie -- with fantastic dancing, wonderful songs, an inspiring story and a great cast!

During the time when Theodore Roosevelt was governor of New York, times were good and times were bad. While the wealthy businessmen prospered with no consideration for others, the poor people fought to survive, including a group of poor orphaned newspaper boys known only as Newsies.

Led by a proud young man known as Jack Kelly (Christian Bale), the Newsies were a rag tag but fairly happy crew until one day the powerful newspaper owner Joseph Pulitzer (Robert Duvall) decided to raise the price of the papers that the boys buy from him and then sell on their own. Feeling crushed and desperate the boys are ready to accept their fate and tighten their belts. All save Jack, whose fiery spirit won't give up without a fight. Eager to save himself and his friends from this difficult change, he rallies the Newsies of New York to help him take a stand. With the help of fellow Newsies such as David (David Moscow), Race Track (Max Casella), Spot Collins (Gabriel Damon), and Crutchy (Marty Belafsky) and friends Medda Larsen (Ann-Margret), the Swedish Singer, and Bryan Denton (Bill Pullman), a newspaper reporter, Jack fights for his rights and to survive.

One of Disney's best musicals, Newsies is full of great dance and song integrated into an entertaining story that is fun for the whole family. It also has a troupe of very talented young actors along with some old favorites.

"Newsies" is one of the greatest Disney movies! If you haven't seen it or haven't bought it for your children you need to go run out and get it NOW!!! This movie is not only entertaining, but it teaches them numerous values and not to mention history. The cast is amazeing, lead man Christian Bale does an amazeing job. The songs are fun and funky along with the dance moves that really express what the news boys are feeling. "ALL it takes is one voice to make a diffrence unless that voice is silenced" is one of the strong heart-felt qoutes in this great movie...I hope my voice has made a diffrence in your opinion of this movie! Go get it!!! ;)~

I always told myself I preferred Toy Story 2, but when my sister finally got a copy of the first one, I sat down to watch it again - and was totally blown away. Toy Story 2 is just a fun movie, with action and humour and great graphics, but this is actually pretty angsty. Sid is one of the best villains I've ever seen (was I the only one who was cheering and punching the air in the confrontation scene?) and Woody's jealousy is really well portrayed, not dumbed down at all. The emotions and characters in the movie are complex and satisfying to watch (although it'd be nice to have a more central female character.) I can see the point of those people who complain about it being too scary for their kids - I'd say don't buy this for the under-fives unless your child is a horror junkie. My sister (who is five) still gets scared by the scenes in Sid's room and insists on someone watching the movie with her for that reason. However, overall this is one of my favourite kid movies and well worth a watch however old you are.

Taking on the classic myth that your toys come to life when you leave the room, Disney's toy story is the rare animated movie that can be viewed with pleasure by anyone of any age. In this story Woody plays Andy's favriote and most cherished toy in the world. He is basically the boss of all the toys in the room. That is until Buzz comes in. Buzz Lightyear is the toy that everyone wants. He's an astornaut from outer space that fights aliens, saves lives, the whole deal. It dosen't really help that Woody and Buzz don't get along. Or that Buzz really thinks he's an astornaut from outerspace. But when Woody accidently pushed Buzz out of the window, his only choices are to go find him, or be attacked by the other toys. The two are launched into an amazing adventure that puts them to the test. Can they tolerate eachother enough to get back home to Andy? Rent this movie and see. If you like computer animation you'll love this one.

This is the first of the Pixar films, and it remains the best. The movie is full of lovable characters, and full of wonderful lessons about friendship and trust that will delight all ages. Of all the computer-animated movies that have come out since this classic, this is with out a doubt the best.

Kirk Douglas and James Mason explore the mysteries of the deep in the Sci-Fi classic "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". Rumours of a sea monster that attacks ships, has open the interests of a curious French scientist (Paul Lukas), his faithful aide (Peter Lorre) and an able harpoonist (Kirk Douglas). Upon a striking encounter, they learn that the "sea monster" is a powerful under-water vessel under the command of the vengeful Captain Nemo (James Mason). "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is a remarkable adaptation of Jules Verne's stunning adventure tale. The film features a powerful story, great under-water photography and a rich music score. Kirk Douglas, Paul Lukas and Peter Lorre are well cast but it's James Mason's intense performance of Captain Nemo that often drives the whole film. It also contains some impressive visuals and thrilling momments including a gripping battle against a giant squid.

Disney gives "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" the full "2-Disc special edition" treatment. The movie is presented in it's original theatrical widescreen format. The DVD contains an amazing video transfer and clear digital sound quality. Disc 2 features exclusive bonus material including Behind-the-scene featurettes, Theatrical trailer, picture gallery and audio commentaries. Like previous Disney DVD, the disc also contains forced commercials and trailers of upcoming Disney releases. Overall, it scores an "A".

After your children watch Finding Nemo -- make sure they take time with the real Captain Nemo! Also - if you're children are ready to learn more about the ocean, check out Captain Jon Explores the Ocean on DVD on Amazon.

I just got my copy of this great DVD. And I love it so much. I always had been a huge fan of the movie. I really liked the fact that Disney Vault Disneyized this feature. And included exclusive interviews and specail features.

Here Is a Brief Description:

A Doctor and his Secreatery take a sea voyage when there boat is sunk by a mysterious monster from the deep, they also meet the Hansome , And muscular Kirk Douglas. Well they go on a small voyage and they find a platform of a ship. Well they climb down it and they find themselves in the ship of Captain Nemo (James Mason) the Nautilus which they later find out is the same ship that sunk their boat and many others. They have lots of adventures which inculde a Squid Attack and a lot of other neat stuff.

Great Movie. 5 Star Rating.

The first Toy Story was amazing. CGI had never looked so good,and the humor was bizarre and hilarious, so both children and adultscould enjoy it. Adults and children are bound to love the sequel too, as shown by the film's $80 million opening weekend. OK, high profits aren't always a good indication of a great movie (take "Titanic" or "Star Wars: Episode 1" for example), but the high returns are actually justified in this one. In this film, Woody is kidnapped by an evil toy collector voiced by the-always-evil Wayne Knight ("Seinfeld"). Woody discovers not only his roots, but also the true meaning of family. A lot of people like the yodeling Jessie voiced by Joan Cusack, but I'd have to say that the best scenes involve Tim Allen and his duels with his nemesis Zurg. Pop culture references allow adults to get some jokes that kids might miss, but the kids will have a blast watching this animated adventure. This movie is more plot-oriented than the first--which kids will love--and is hence more fun. Josh Bob says check this out. Four stars. END

Toy Story 2 is the perfect DVD movie...after all it was digitally created,and there are no film-to-digital transfer problems. So the movie is crystal clear and has incredible colors.

Then there's the Dolby Digital soundtrack. Set your DVD player for 5.1 playback, turn on the Home Theatre system and just wait! Since it's animated, sound effects and music fly every which way! It's a great experience, almost as good as being in a theatre.

With this DVD set, you also get outtake shorts, which were first introduced in Disney's "A Bug's Life."

Of course, since the movie was created digitally, it's impossible to have "real" outtakes (which in the movie business are scenes cut from a film because of some technical problem such as actors flubbing lines or being out of place on the set), so these new "scenes" were created just for the lucky DVD buyers! Some of them are really funny!

There's also commentary and details of how the movie was created, animation behind-the-scenes clips, and a great preview of Disney's next Pixar-produced feature, Monsters, Inc. It's so real, it's scary!

If you liked either of these excellent movies (or have kids in the house), you'll love this new set. It's the perfect addition to the animation-lover's DVD collection.

The first time I saw TS1 & 2 was on a bad taped version, so I bought the 2 disc DVD the second I got a DVD player (a couple years ago). And the 2 disc was worth the money. But even seeing them on a badly taped version I was absorbed into the story of these toys. As an only child, I was convinced my toys had a life when I left so watching these movies took me back to my childhood. As disturbing as Sid was, there's a lot of kids who enjoy destroying toys and for this reason he was a perfect 'real' villian for the toys. The best part of these films is that (with the exception of Woody and Buzz, or in TS2's case 'the Woody toy collection') all the toys are real toys. The idea of Toys living has been done before, but the fact that these were actual toys (from Mattle, Hasbro, FisherPrice, etc) really brought it to life (that and the introduction of 3D computer animation in feature length format). At times, I forgot it was animated. And even though Woody and Buzz only became real toys because of the movie, the two eras of toys they represent are very real as are the stories sorounding them (TS1 shinny new toy becomes boy's favorite, TS2 Classic old toy becomes collectors item). Also, the story itself got to the heart of what a buddy film is suppose to be. There's nothing else to say except that these movies are a must have.

I can't say this myself about the DVD collection (famous last words of the "Interjections" jingle), since there are still a lot of videos I still need to sit down and watch. I think all of us who grew up in the 1970's and 1980's learned from the catchy jingles.

If it weren't for the countrified "The Preamble," I wouldn't have it recited nor known what a veto is had it not been for "I'm Just a Bill" (both from America Rock).

"Electricity, Electricity" is really a rewrite of "Conjunction Junction" but no less informative or entertaining (from the Science Rock series). The "Victim of Gravity" song stands out with its 1950's doo-whop influence (the character in the video even has James Dean sideburns!).

If it weren't for "Conjunction Junction", "Lolly Lolly Lolly," or the funky "Verb That's What's Happening," I probably wouldn't have been as successful with grammar (all from the Grammar Rock series).

But most of all, I think I learned my multiplication tables thanks to Multiplication Rock. The songs "Three Is a Magic Number," "Lucky Seven Samson" (ya gotta love that long eared blackeyed bandit!) and "Ready or Not, Here I Come" were favorites(I used to count this way whenever I got tricked into playing another dreaded game of Hide and Seek!).

The folky "No More Kings" almost sounds a little anti-British now, I suppose (and the animators goofed since the British flag did not include the red cross of Northern Ireland at the time; aside from that, still a very educational and catchy song/video!).

Money Rock and Computer Rock introduced some new learning songs to an even younger generation (Mr Chips is introduced as a returning character and there's an interesting song about saving your money, which gives a nod to Reba, Wynnona and Dolly Parton).

There are commentaries on "A Noun Is a Person, Place or Thing" (I like the mention of the Beatles, the Monkees and Chubby Checker!), "The Great American Melting Pot" and "Figure Eight," to name a few. In addition, "The Weather Show" (which was previously banned from syndication and VHS anthologies due to legal entanglements) and a "new" song "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College" are included in this 48 song anthology. There are interviews with the producers, animators and some of the musicians and performers.

While I was away at college, I read in our school newspaper there were picketers to bring Schoolhouse Rock back on the air (it worked!). I remember as a 29 year old watching intently "Energy" and my older brother said tongue firmly in cheek "You're the biggest kid I know!" If you have kids or are a teacher (or just a nostalgic buff or a kid at heart yourself), you'll want this generously packaged collection- indoubtedly (to quote Mr. Lolly)!

Once we bought our kids the "Schoolhouse Rocks" boxed CD set, we thought another 20 bucks for the DVD set couldn't hurt. My kids LOVE these! Indeed, I never moved from the couch, remembering and singing along to every song. From "Conjunction Junction" to "Lolly Lolly Lolly, Get Your Adverbs", they're all here. Before the Brainy Baby series or Hooked on Phonics, "Schoolhouse Rocks" taught our generation about english grammar, history, science and math in 3 minute cartoon shorts in between Saturday morning cartoons on ABC. We began to look more forward to SHR shorts than the cartoon shows themselves! At 3, I rememeber cracking my head open while somersaulting to "Conjunction Junction" (I crashed into my parents dry sink- 6 stitches!). This series holds precious memories for us, and our kids, who are quickly learning the words, watch us in open awe as we recite words to all the songs. Contains all 46 SHR songs, including a new one and a long lost one ("The Weather Show").

As a child of the 70's, Schoolhouse Rock was as much of a Saturday morning tradition as pajamas, cartoons, and cereal. Now, as a fourth grade teacher, I have rediscovered the value of these timeless cartoons. What was once simple entertainment wedged between The Wonder League and various other ABC cartoons is now a valuable educational tool!

Each year my students learn and memorize the Preamble to the Constitution thanks to Schoolhouse Rock. And how interesting would the American Revolution be without No More Kings, Fireworks, or The Shot Heard 'Round the World? From a fourth grader's perspective, NOT VERY!

This DVD is a must have for students, teachers, and parents. This fun, entertaining quick review of these necessary skills is a great way to learn with your kids/students. After all, how else would we know that a conjunction's purpose is, "Hooking up words and phrases and clauses"?

This is one of the best films that I've ever seen! In some films that are based on a true story, directors twist the plot line around to suit their whims. But in this one, the producers stuck close to the real story, portraying each character and event as they really were. Actual footage from WWII was inserted in certain points of the film, giving it an authentic air. Also, some of the consultants were people who knew the real Frank family, people like Miep Gies (who to my knowledge is still alive in Amsterdam today) and Jacqueline Van Marsen, one of Anne's childhood friends. The actors and actresses acted out their roles superbly, and I was especially impressed with Hannah Taylor Gordon's performance. Not only does she bear a striking resemblence to the real Anne Frank, but she also acts very much like I believe Anne would have acted. I also appreciate the fact that, even though the film's setting is a very harsh time in history, the producers managed to show the brutality of the Nazi occupation without resorting to blood and gore. Anne's story is a sad one, but one worth watching, because it reminds us that the people who died in the holocaust were just normal human beings with hopes and dreams, whose lives were abruptly snuffed out by people who were blinded by racism and extreme nationalism. I would recommend this film for any history buff. It's definitely the best portrayal of Anne Frank on film. Thumbs up for this movie!

First of all I couldn't believe how acurate this movie was to the real thing. Of course there were flaws like any movie, but they are soon forgotten. I've read heaps on Anne Frank since the first time I read her diary, so just about every scene felt familiar. They got the smallest things such as the unusual way Anne held her fountain pen to envying her sisters figure at the beach. And Hannah Taylor Gordon is just adorable!! Her big expressive eyes could tell the story on their own. I liked how all the actors are European, it makes it more believable, and they also managed to find actors who look exactley like the real life people. To me the first of many heatbreaking scenes was when Anne had to leave her cat Moortje behind before going into hiding. I know now that I'll never take many things for granted (including my cat). This version leaves the other Anne Frank movies in the dust. If you haven't seen the others don't bother! This mini-series has just about all you need to know about Anne's short life.

this movie, is the real anne frank. I have seen a lot of anne frank movies, but none as thourough as this one. i regret that, i saw the channel seven version, which had bits cut out of it and i am trying to get hold of the whole thing. Hannah taylor gordon, is probably the best anne i have seen. The 1959, diary of anne frank, was pretty accurate in the way anne acted, but they made anne and margot, look like dolls. and also, millie perkins was 21 when she played anne, whereas hannah was fourteen. It made my stomach turn over and over from when the gestapo take the eight jewish hideaways away, to when Margot dies, and anne looks up at the hole in the roof. I have watched this movie around ten times, and i still love it. so to cut a long story short, this probably the best movie about anne frank ever made.

This movie has got to be one of the greatest chicano movies ever created. For those who enjoyed American Me, This movie blows that out of the water. The actors in this movie are really heartfelt. Throughout the whole movie your emotions are on a rollercoaster. The movie has some very devasting parts that break your heart, and some parts that keep you on the edge of your seat. The story of three chicano teens growing up, and how a couple decisions changed the paths of their lives. The only bad acting had to be Miklo, but the movie itself makes up for any flaws. This has to be added to any hispanics movie collection. If your not hispanic don't be discouraged, my best friend is white and he can quote every line in the movie. BUY this movie today. Before I go, does anyone know what's the deal with Benjamin Bratt on the back cover? He's holding a girl that is never shown in the movie. Bye

Blood In Blood Out is one the finest movies ever made that represents life for chicano youths. Starting in the early 1970's, this movie chronicles the times and trials of Miklo Velka. Miklo (Damian Chapa) is a kid growing up in two different worlds. He is a chicano, who takes the appearance of his white father. So he fights to get respect from his chicano family. Here you meet his cousin Cruz (Jesse Borrego) Candelaria and Paco (Benjamin Bratt) Aguilar, who treat Miklo with little respect, because of his skin tone. So he has to show his toughness to his cousins in order to earn their respect. This is where the trouble begins for the three cousins. Starting with a random act of violence against another street gang, the plot thickens with Cruz being hospitalized and the gang of Miklo, Paco and others vowing revenge for Cruz. A simple revenge turns sour and the life is taken on accident, so the boys are on the run. Only to be caught and their lives are changed drastically. Miklo is sent to jail where he has to start over to earn the respect from the other chicanos, while Paco joins the service to avoid jail time. Throughout the movie you see Miklo character evolve int o a great leader of men in the Prison, while Paco career evolves on the other side of the law. we also cant forget about Cruz, whose life turns to shambles because of an addiction, which nearly costs him his life! The story evolves as time passes and the three of them get older, and wiser, and before you know it Miklo is out of jail and looking to go on the straight and narrow. Paco and Miklo's lives interact again as Miklo attempts to, but fails to stay straight. Their lives are sent in to a spiral as Miklo ende up in jail again and this time it is Paco's fault, I wont say how it ends, because I want you to see this movie, but let me tell you the subplots and twists and turns in this movie are EXCELLENT! I reccommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good epic drama!

powerful and violent, this is a extrodinary and moving drama about three friends who takes paths of their own and then end up against one another. Benjamin Bratt and Damian Chapa are fantastic, Bratt is way better in Pinero though. Ving Rhames and Billy Bob Thornton also star in this grand look at the life in L.A. and the Chicano heritage.

I first decided to watch this movie because I heard that Jason Marsden (who is the cutest and most talented actor ever!) did the voice of Goofy's teenage son Max. But my best friend and I soon found ourselves watching it twice in a row and singing along with all of the catchy tunes (yes, I'm aware that sounds stupid) and reciting our favorite lines. I also saw the sequel (X-tremely Goofy Movie) and loved it as well. This movie was hilarious and is Disney's greatest accomplishment because it's a movie that both kids and parents can relate to. Next to one of Jason's other movies, "White Squall" (1996) this is the greatest movie I've ever seen. I'm going to buy the soundtrack and a copy of the movie itself. The cast did a brilliant job, the writers should be seriously congratulated, and the songs were terrific. This movie is outstanding and definitely deserves more than 5 stars.

Wow, this is truly one of my favorite movies and fave Disney fliks ever, i am a disney lover.

This is about Goofy's son " Max" who wants to impress his girlfriend " Roxanne" by going to a special concert in Los Angeles played by his favorite sinfger " Powerline" ( who is sort of like a Goofy version of Prince), unknown to Goofy, Goof is actually taking Max on a fishing trip but Max decides to change everything so that he can impress her.

A highly entertaining, heartwarming and meaningful animated feature full of laughs, insight gags, good animation, great soundtrack and a important lesson about Fathers and Son.

If you're a disney fan, i suggest owning this movie on DVD and you won't be disappointed :)

I know, I know! I had stated on the IMDb my comments about having a so-so feeling about this movie! I know all that! (blush) But there is a HUGE REASON why I give this DVD a full FIVE STAR rating! A WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL reason for we longtime Goofy lovers everywhere!

CALLING ALL GOOFY FANS FROM YEARS GONE BY! This DVD has as an added bonus feature the COMPLETE Walt Disney Presents episode "A GOOFY SUCCESS STORY"!!! Complete with Walt himself introducing it and EVERYTHING! It's just as charming as you remember it, and it makes this DVD a MUST OWN FOR GOOFY FANS EVERYWHERE! Even if you wouldn't dare touch "A Goofy Movie" with a ten-foot cattle prod, get it just for THIS! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
