Every so often it is good to see a re-adaptation of what might be called an American classic, and the Tom and Jerry series the tales are taken from is one of those. Hopefully cartoons will stay clean and kid friendly in the future, even if Hollywood does not! The disc's episodes have a variety of creative story lines.
The movie has a bit of interesting research on 19th century fiction, particularly by Jules Verne, which is the basis for the story, which is however, entirely new, and had big name actors to boot. The story is creative and family friendly, if with its occasional gross side (Hollywood can't seem to leave a clean story alone). I think it's worth the risk!
The original version (you should know there is a popular remake) has much to recommend itself: good acting, reasonably good effects (for the day), a VERY creative story line, and a happy ending. I was happy to get it and I may hold onto it for myself rather than giving it to my neices/ nephews. It's worth seeing!
I am particularly taken by how realistic the view of the future is in The Hunger Games. The acting is also extraordinary. Also, the story is fairly clean in its morals, a rarity these days. I found the story quite riveting, and I intend to get the whole series.

I couldn't get good reception on my antenna with my previous TV. Now I can, which has improved my viewing, I think! The features on the remote are good, too.
