Adventure Time Dvd:Spy Kids 4 All The Time In The World

Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World is a nice addition to the Spy Kids saga. This movie holds to the tradition of family values, lots of humor for the kids, adventure and some laughs for the adults. The family is new, with younger kids and they get some help from the now grown up, Carmen and Juni. The new kids are just as funny and adventuresome as Spy Kids have always been. Jessica Alba is a loving mom and step-mom, a nice portrayal of a blended family. The dad's character is also interesting, but you should really watch the movie. My ten year old son and I enjoyed this movie. I recommend this movie for families with children ages thirteen and under.

Adventure Time Dvd:The Land Before Time / Chomper Double Feature

My 3 year old Grandson loves this movie. He has watched it over & over again. It is hard to capture the attention of a child this young. This movie has accomplished that. I intend to buy other movies in this series.

Adventure Time Dvd:Life And Adventures Of Santa Claus/Nestor The Christmas Donkey

"Life and Adventures of Santa Claus" is a great Christmas story, especially for those viewers tired of the conventional Christmas specials. This features a bizarre cast of characters and settings that sets it apart from the other stop-action videos of the '70s-'80s. Notably, this story lacks the "redemption" angle that usually saves the bad guys from themselves.

Adventure Time Dvd:Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Meet Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan, two likable 1980s high school underachievers whose only goal is to have a totally bodacious rock band. Never mind that neither of them know how to play music, etc. When Ted is in eminent danger of flunking history, his father signs him up to go to a military academy in Alaska, and their plans for their band will be dashed. The only way Ted can avoid being shipped off to Alaska is to pass his history report. With less than 24 hours to pull their final history report together they meet Rufus, someone from the future who tells them that the entire future of the planet depends on them successfully passing their report, and he provides them with a future-technology phone booth that allows Bill and Ted to travel through history as they gather what they need for their report.

Adventure Time Dvd:Time Bandits

Time Bandits is one of my all time favorite films. I was excited to find this on Blu-Ray. Then I saw that it was listed as 1080i on the packaging and was concerned. Why on Earth would a company release a feature film as 1080i on a blu-ray disc? Apparently this is the standard format for films put out on blu-ray by Image Entertainment as they've done this with several other major films they've released. With a business model like that, I doubt they'll last.

Adventure Time Dvd:The Adventures of Milo and Otis

"Here comes the dog, strong and brave - woof" This is my favorite line from Otis. I watched this movie as a child and that line has stuck with me for the last 20 years, every once in awhile popping up in my head for no apparent reason.

Adventure Time Dvd:Sesame Street - Elmo's Potty Time

I borrowed this movie from the library when my son was at potty training age (about 18-20 months old).
It captured his attention the whole time, and was also entertaining to me.
It really worked wonders with him! It made him interested in sitting on the potty and all the things that go along with that...

Adventure Time Dvd:The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

Funny with good sound effects. I've loved this for so many years and enjoy to watch just before Halloween. The characters animation is very funny in many scenes..won't say too much to ruin the movie.

Adventure Time Dvd:The Land Before Time Amazing Adventures

We first borrowed this dvd from the library, and when my son was so upset at taking it back, (something new) we decided to purchase it for a Christmas gift. It is very entertaining and full of adventures, while making great points about friendship and other life lessons. I like that it has 4 episodes on the dvd. This keeps him happy because he gets to watch his movie, and me happy because he isn't sitting in front of the TV for hours.

Adventure Time Dvd:Adventures of Superman: The Complete First Season

Generations of kids have thrilled to "The Adventures of Superman", and I'd imagine it'll be one of those shows that goes on forever, like "I Love Lucy" or "Star Trek". I caught it as a kid in syndicated reruns, and it was just as thrilling as the Christopher Reeve movies in my mind, despite the relatively crude special effects. What you're looking at here is the complete first season, and in my opinion, it's the best season of AOS. It has a real Film Noir feel that the other seasons lack.(Black and White helps, later episodes were Color) Highlights include Superman's origin in "Superman on Earth", "The Human Bomb", "The Birthday Letter",and "Crime Wave"- an episode mostly cobbled from stock footage, not that I knew that as a kid. Also included it the feature "Superman and the Mole Men", a brave plea for tolerance, especially considering the era. It's presented in it's uncut theatrical version as well as the two-part episode "The Unknown People" in which it was broadcast.

Adventure Time Dvd:Time Machine

I'm a big fan of the late H G Wells. My favorite science fiction novel by H G Wells and movie of his is The Time Machine. I've watched the movie dozens of times. I love great science fiction and this movie on DVD INMO is in the top 5 science fiction DVDs of all time! Look at all the 5 star reviews by other reviewers! Rod Taylor as the time traveler, Alan Young playing two roles as his best friend and his friends son,Sebastian Cabot and the hottie Yvette Mimieux as innocent and loving Weena in the Earth's far distant future are superb in their acting.

Adventure Time Dvd:The Land Before Time IX Journey to Big Water

I bought these movies to finish the collection of The Land Before Time on DVD. My whole family loves to sit and watch these movies over and over. They give kids something to learn as well as be excited to watch all over again, no matter how many times they have watched them before. The price of the 2 movies combined didn't hurt either.

Adventure Time Dvd:The Land Before Time

This film is an instant classic. From director Don Bluth and legendary filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas comes a family movie that is both sad and heartwarming.

Adventure Time Dvd:The Great Valley Adventure

I actually have all but one or two of this series. With Great Grandkids coming over..It's nice to be able to introduce them to clean family entertainment! There is a moral in each one if you look and they a all delightful. Have gone through 5 grandkids and 3 great grandkids with this series!

Adventure Time Dvd:In Time

This movie was very entertaining. The plot centers around a unique concept of time becoming currency. After the age of 25, you live only as long as the time you earn/steal/gamble/horde/lose. It was very well done.

Adventure Time Dvd:My Two Favorite People

I really enjoyed this DVD and I hope Cartoon Network will put this out as a dvd series. As the other reviews mentioned, it's not so much a "season 1" disk as it is a dvd of selections. Notably absent from this DVD is the Wizard Battle episode.
