Elsewhere, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) secures a new alliance for the club, while Clay (Ron Perlman) seeks protection. Later, when the clubhouse is attacked, the men are forced to come face to face with the demons of their past, and Jax discovers a secret that will change his life forever.
Big Idea's Biblically-themed, computer-generated Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie tapped out at about 26 million dollars in domestic box office, but the producers nonetheless were ready for an all-out home video assault. The double-disc DVD contains hours of appealing original material, from the whimsical interactive menus to the bright behind-the-scenes featurettes, much of it with a fresh twist. Nothing is static. For instance, on disc two, the "Concept Art" galleries page through the pre-production renderings with detailed, separate audio commentaries by vice president of visual development Michael Spooner (nine minutes) and art director Joe Sapulich (21 minutes); three scenes are detailed in "Progression Reels," quartering the screen to show the CG film craft from storyboard to finished product. Under the "Games" heading are "Blind Puzzle," in which blindfolded players (human actors) assemble a puzzle by following vocal directions (it's said to teach compassion), and "Second Chance Card," which shows a family issuing homemade cards when they've been wronged by a family member (it teaches forgiveness). There are live-action music videos (Chris Rice, the Newsboys, Relient K), trivia games, a "karaoke" function, a read-along storybook, and a plethora of how-they-did-it featurettes. "Outtakes" (with a Spanish-language option) are plain goofy, and the humor of this gimcrack, pioneered by Pixar, may have played itself out. But "Digital Dailies" goes a step above the outtakes by providing character commentary à la Mystery Science Theater. Disc one includes the feature film (in Dolby 2.0 or 5.1) and commentaries.
This animated saga of a group of young dinosaurs making their way in prehistoric days has been given a solid presentation for this special anniversary edition. The Land Before Time has been given a pan-and-scan transfer at the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been remixed for playback in Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Along with the film's original English soundtrack, alternate dubbed tracks in French and Spanish have been included, as well as optional subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. Bonus materials include singalong songs, a sort feature on the Jurassic Park Institute, character biographies, and interactive games.
You can never go wrong with an Aventura CD. The group has done an amazing job over the past few years. They continue to be on top of the bachata genre and they will be there for more years to come
