Big LOL at the 2 above posts, ha ha.
This week, 2 new DVD's and 1 bluray made their way to my mailbox, yay!
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro - Being a fairly recent Miyazaki fanboy, I'd put off owning the actual DVD as this fantastic film is readily available on Netflix instant streaming (watch it all the time). But due to now owning all his other magnificent films on bluray & DVD, I just had to have the physical product in my collection.
The Cat in the Hat: the Original Cartoon Classic - All March long, with the 2nd having marked Dr. Seuss' own birthday, I'd been expanding my Sons' Seussian book collection. As "Cat" and "Green Eggs" are a couple of his favorites, I decided my Boy had to see their respective cartoons, the awesome classics that I grew up with and loved. "Cat" was the most recent to arrive, "Seuss on the Loose", " Horton Hears a Who", "Daisy Head Mayzie", and "The Lorax" all arrived previously throughout last month. So far, "The Sneetches" is his favorite in the 'toon versions.
Dinosaur - I know a lot of Disney enthusiasts give this film a hard time, but I've never understood why!
I think those people need to give it another watch; the art is beautiful (love the combination of animation within live environments), and the storyline and acting are well above par for most of the current age of Disney fare. Heck, it's a great movie compared to most movies from ANY studio these days! Anyhow, it's a film I've always loved, and yet somehow I'd only owned the VHS. With Disney Movie Rewards' current offer of getting a free bluray when you enter 2 codes, it was an easy choice, just paid around 4 bucks for shipping. My Boy loves dinosaurs almost as much as his Daddy, so I really can't wait to show him this movie! It'll probably be our Dinner Movie tonight, ha ha.
Cheers all!
