This two pack for fans of the family friendly character Fievel includes both the first and second installments in the franchise, An American Tail and Babe: Pig in the City.
The Road to El Dorado DVD is sure to hold special appeal for those interested in the art of animation. The movie is brought to vivid life with a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation and either DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital 5.1, or Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Sound. Unfortunately, subtitles and audio are limited to English only. Special features of interest to animation fans include "The Making of the Road to El Dorado" featurette; feature commentary with directors Don Paul and Bibo Bergeron; "The Basics of Animation: The Color Script," where each scene of animation is commented on by directors Don Paul and Bibo Bergeron and art director Raymond Zibach; and the production notes, where research trips to the Yucatan and new innovations in animation such as Elastic Reality Warp and Spryticle (a water effect) are explained. On the less techie side is a read-along, Elton John's animated music video for "Someday out of the Blue," the theatrical trailer, and cast and crew bios. While there's little here to hold a child's interest, older fans may just consider the wealth of animation info available on this DVD pure gold.
Warner Brothers' presentation of Any Given Sunday is billed as a Special Edition Director's Cut and contains a handful of additional pieces of footage not seen theatrically. Visually, the film is very well presented. The colors are exceptionally bright, if a bit too red. This could have been the intention of director Oliver Stone, however, and not a fault of the transfer. The video is shown in an anamorphic widescreen 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The details, especially in anamorphic mode, are extremely crisp. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track is light on surround usage but full of pulse-pounding bass; each hit and tackle is rendered thunderous. Several special features are included: a documentary on the making of the film, an L.L. Cool J music video, trailer, and biographies. Unfortunately, there is no commentary. Any Given Sunday is also enhanced for DVD-ROMs with web events, chat-room access, Web-site links, reviews, and more. Although the extras are large in number, their quality is limited. As with any feature by a renowned director, some type of commentary would have been welcome. The trailer and bios are one-time views, if that, and the DVD-ROM features are hardly compelling. This DVD, however, is all about the presentation of the film. In this area it succeeds wonderfully. With added scenes, an incredible video transfer, and heavy-hitting sound, there is enough here for both fans of the film and newcomers to Stone's football opus.

I've had one of these in the past but my daughter can't keep up with them and had to buy another one. This is one isn't worth a hill of beans. You have to continually straighten the cord out with your hands to even try to get it to charge.

Nice product, difficult to hang because for a man with larger hands it was hard for my father to hold the small parts that were included. Works well though.

This is a really nice tv but extremely hard to hear and when you turn it down at night, its to quite & then movie one level & its to loud. The sound comes out the bottom so its even more difficult to hear. Overall quality is great.
John Hancock's heartwarming holiday film Prancer comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from MGM/UA that should satisfy anyone on the lookout for family friendly fare.
My daughter fell in Love with this movie when she was a tiny girl but we were only ever been able to find it on VHS. So thankful for finding the DVD. Best thing ever!!
