Great Movie, Surely Everyone and their Dog have seen this fim by now, HD REALLY makes Hogwarts look AMAZING.

Incidently, for those wanting to know, the main feature is coded in 1080p resolution, while the extras are 480i/p.

Still worth it if your potty for potter.

Camberwick Green - The Complete Collection [1966]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Childrens DVD
starring: Brian Cant

October 29, 2007
I too thought I had a slightly dodgy copy seeing some picture wobble, but I can see from other reviews I'm not alone. That said I would buy it again just as it is, my favourite is good old Windy Miller. I forgot that its not like Postman Pat's more modern animation silly me it was 1966 after all. For the moment my 2 year old daughter prefers Postman Pat, Bob, Sam and the Little Red Tractor but it was as much for me as my kids and I am not disappointed. A bargin price too, no more than a fancy cup of coffee. Go on buy it and remember how it was. I bought Trumpton too, don't miss that one either!

Flushed Away [2006]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Childrens DVD
starring: Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Bill Nighy
directed by: David Bowers, Sam Fell

I don't wish to repeat all the astute observations given by the other reviewers. This is indeed an hilarious film, appropriate for all ages, expertly voiced by one of the finest lineups of actors I've seen in an animated adventure.

Three reasons to see this film:
(1) singing slugs;
(2) frog mime;
(3) the rest of the film.

I consider this to be the world's second most perfect film. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is still number one. But then, Were-Rabbit has Wallace and Gromit, and was hand-animated. Let's consider this a *close* second.

Bedknobs And Broomsticks [1971]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Childrens DVD
starring: Angela Lansbury, David Tomlinson, Roddy McDowall, Sam Jaffe, John Ericson
directed by: Robert Stevenson

This is one of those dvds you can get out any time of year over and over again and it still appeals. Who would have thought combining a witch, a doctor and WWII would create such wonder.

The characters created by Angela Lansbury (Miss Price the good witch) and David Thomlinson (Dr Amelius Brown)are wonderful and the combination of settings, singing, dancing and animation are very well balanced. Our whole family love this film.

The Secret Garden [1994]

starring: Kate Maberly, Heydon Prowse, Andrew Knott, Maggie Smith, Laura Crossley
directed by: Agnieszka Holland

October 25, 1999
I never got to the cinema much as a child and could count on one hand how many times I went, but I do remember out of all of them, The Secret Garden moved me the most. As an adult, I rarely watch TV or films and have a low boredom threshold, but I can watch this film over and over and cry every time. Mary Lennox is played superbly by Polly Maberly and the film is one of those rare gems that is truly as good as the book.
