Finally, after all this time, Warner Brothers have come to their senses. On October 7th, we will be treated to a heftly helping of one of the greatest Christmas films to ever grace the silver screen…………in WIDESCREEN.

I was extremely disappointed with the previous DVD release of this film which contained a pan & scan presentation and nothing more than a theatrical trailer in the extras department.

What we have here is a special edition of this great movie, which will contain audio commentary from both Beverly D’Angelo and Chevy Chase, a “making of” featurette, as well as other stocking stuffers which have yet to be disclosed at this present time.

Being a huge fan of this movie, I honestly can’t wait for this release. “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” has become a holiday tradition in my home, and to be able to see it the way it was intended to be seen is truly a treat for me.

Aside from the features of the disk, the film itself is the true gift. One of the funniest movies today which still withstands the test of time even 15 years later. The premise is simple. Clark W. Griswold (Chevy Chase) is hell bent on having an old-fashioned family Christmas in his home, relatives and all. Of course, the hilarity kicks in when things start to go awry. There are so many hilarious scenes in this movie, it would be difficult to list them all. You have everything from an electrocuted cat, to a house with the brightest Christmas light display known to man. Let’s not forget the dried up turkey, the saucer sled and the dog/squirrel chase! There’s so much more I could say to praise this movie, but if you haven’t already seen it, [I won't say more]

You really take your life in your hands every time you sit down with a Chevy Chase film. Let’s face reality here: Chevy Chase is responsible for several of the worst movies ever made. Does it take more than a few minutes of viewing to see the mind numbing folly of “Nothing But Trouble,” “The Three Amigos,” and “Spies Like Us”? Chase has sure had his truly embarrassing moments on the big screen. What redeems the guy, at least in my eyes, are several films that play up to the comedian’s smart alecky, deadpan delivery. “Fletch,” of course, is the gold standard of Chevy Chase films, but other movies showcase his talents just as well. I always thought “Deal of the Century” a classic Chase film, as well as “Foul Play” (although the latter was more of an ensemble picture). But we need look no further than the four National Lampoon Vacation films to truly judge the merits of this comedian turned actor. Actually, I should say three Vacation films since the second installment, where the Griswold family went on a tour of Europe, ranks as one of the most dreadful stories ever put on film. Of the three successful entries, “Christmas Vacation” is the best, perhaps even eclipsing the first movie that started it all.

You won’t hear the familiar strains of Lindsey Buckingham’s “Holiday Road” in “Christmas Vacation,” and there are no corpses strapped to the top of a station wagon either. Instead, the film invites us into the Griswold home for an old fashioned Christmas celebration the likes of which soon reach catastrophic levels. Clark (Chevy Chase) and Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) Griswold, along with their disinterested kids Audrey (Juliette Lewis) and Russ (Johnny Galecki), invite the whole family over for a season filled with happiness. Clark’s parents Clark Sr. (John Randolph) and Nora (Diane Ladd) show up, as does Ellen’s folks Art (E.G. Marshall) and Frances (Doris Roberts). And yes, even Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) makes an appearance to save the day. Of course, along with the family comes the inevitable frustrations and stresses everyone who has ever dealt with a reunion dreads. Clark Griswold refuses, at least initially, to fall into a morass of cynicism and despair amidst the bickering and insults. His invention of a new milk preservative has our hero hoping his Christmas bonus will be extra big this year, big enough so he can install an in ground swimming pool in the backyard. Unfortunately, his boss Frank Shirley (Brian Doyle-Murray) is a scrooge with plans to make the company more fiscally conservative.

While he waits for the check to arrive at the house, Clark embarks on several hilarious projects that haul in the belly laughs. His attempts to cover every square inch of his house with Christmas lights is a chore requiring several falls off a ladder, pointed verbal repartees with his snotty neighbors Margo and Todd Chester (Julia-Louis Dreyfus and Nicholas Guest), and repeated failures to get the strands to light up. The acquisition and installment of the Griswold family Christmas tree is another chore handled in Clark’s inimitable style. Imagine the pine they string up in Rockefeller Square every year, subtract roughly five feet from its height, and you have the tree Clark insists on setting up in the house. This thing is so huge that the branches knock out the windows when Griswold cuts the rope holding the branches together. No Yuletide season, however, would be complete without a trip to the slopes for a sledding excursion, an event filled with disastrous implications when Griswold comes up with the bright idea to cover the bottom of his sled with a Teflon based substance. My favorite scenario involves Clark trapped in his attic for a few hours. He spends his time dressed up in women’s clothing (to stay warm) watching old home movies of his childhood. His abrupt fall through the trap door had me laughing for hours afterwards.

The cast of “Christmas Vacation” gels fantastically, far better than any cast in the other three films. Kudos as always go to Randy Quaid as the squirrelly moocher Eddie; a film in this series just wouldn’t be the same without this character driving Clark to fits of distraction. Beverly D’Angelo is one of those actresses who get hotter and hotter with age. The linchpin of the film is, as always, Chevy Chase as the disaster prone Clark Griswold. This is a role tailor made for his brand of clumsy, caustic humor. I don’t know about you, but Chase’s depiction reminds me in many ways of my own father–he won’t listen to the advice of anyone else, his ideas are the best ideas, he tosses safety to the wind when working on dangerous projects, etc. But like my Dad–and probably countless other fathers–Clark is sincere and wants his loved ones to have wonderful family memories. The film works so well, I suspect, because most of us instantly recognize his character traits in our own beloved family patriarchs. Especially when Clark can’t stand the pressure anymore and launches into one of his over the top tirades, again a trademark of our own fed up fathers.

Although the DVD carries the “Special Edition” tag, the extras are surprisingly sparse. A trailer and a commentary constitute the sum total of goodies available on the disc. Moreover, the commentary doesn’t include Chevy Chase. At least you hear Randy Quaid, Beverly D’Angelo, Johnny Galecki, Miriam Flynn (Eddie’s wife Catherine), director Jeremiah Chechik, and producer Marty Simmons, but why no Clark W. Griswold? Perhaps he wanted too much money. His absence is unfortunate and mars what is otherwise a great commentary track. I don’t even wait until Christmas to watch this movie; it’s fun works year round. If you haven’t seen it yet, you ought to immediately. You’ll love it.

I really can’t even remember what it was that I expected when I first saw ads for Guarding Tess. I definitely remember that it wasn’t much. This film has so much heart and character that its impossible to resist.

Shirley McLaine (Tess Carlisle) is the former first lady of a now deceased president. Nicholas Cage (Doug Chesnik) is the head secret service agent assigned to ‘guard’ the former first lady. Tess is a rather crochety seemingly self absorbed old girl and agent Chesnik is a by the book G-man.

While Tess does her level best to break all the rules and drive Doug crazy, Doug yearns to be on a ‘real’ assignment. He hates the non structured nature of guarding someone like Tess.

What each of them realizes along the way is how much they care for one another and how much they bring to the others life.

And along the way we are introduced to an ecclectic group of characters who will endear themselves to your heart and have you chuckling at many of their antics.

You’ll laugh, cry and feel for all the characters in this gem of a film.

So why only 4 stars then. Because despite its genuine warmth and humor I found the story to be a bit contrived and somewhat unbelievable.

All that notwithstanding it shouldn’t be missed.

When “Guarding Tess” was released eight years ago, I ended up watching it in the theater because I was bored and because it looked a little more promising than the rest of the pack. That thought proved to be an understatement. To date, I have seen this movie at least eight times, and I tend to enjoy it more with each viewing. Nicholas Cage is perfect as the disgruntled Secret Service agent who feels he has been banished to his current duty — namely, doting on a cantankerous former First Lady, played to the hilt by Shirley MacLaine. “Guarding Tess” is alternately funny and moving, and even includes a bit of a mystery for Cage to solve. Far more than a one-dimensional film, “Guarding Tess” is satisfying for so many reasons — the witty script, the fine performances, the deft direction, and the mostly even pacing, to name a few. While you can catch this on a regular basis on TBS (which has made the movie one of its most reliable staples), “Guarding Tess” is definitely worth owning for more frequent viewing.

Soul Hunter is based, abate loosely, upon one of the more interesting (and rarely translated) Chinese classic called Investiture of the Gods (or Creation of the Gods). This work is centered around one of the most tyrannical king in Chinese legends, king Zhou (roughly 1100 BC) and his offending the goddess, Nu Wa (Dakki, in this translation) that ultimately led to the downfall of the Shang dynasty (Yin, here… i think). interestingly (for me anyway), Investiture of the Gods was written in a very pro-Taoist manner, in contrast to Pilgrimage to the West (with the Monkey King) where the most powerful deities were Buddhists… just my $0.02.

BUT ENOUGH of that boring background stuff… on to the anime.

Soul Hunter is a series spanning 6 dvds and follows Taikoubou’s (a taoist seer) journey to bind 365 demons (including Dakki herself) to prevent unbalancing the order of things in the mortal world.

animated in the style of Slayers and El Hazard (a funny anime in its own right) in both its model art and tongue in cheek humor, Soul Hunter is light hearted and very well translated (the English voice acting is very good) — in fact, on the dvd, there are ‘Translator’s Notes’ that explains little tidbits that might be missed during the first viewing of the series.

the first few episodes are a little slow until the different characters had some time to develop and then it picks up pretty quickly with all of the usual manic skirmishes between different mystical powers.

cleanly drawn and well acted, get past the slightly slow start and you’ll be hooked.

Senkaiden Houshin Engi (title changed to Soul Hunter, um ok) is one of the best, if not the best anime I have ever seen. Not to mention this DVD has -5- episodes! So buy it! Now!
Taikoubou leads a cast of quirky characters brought together by strange circumstances. The problem is Taikoubou is not a normal hero by any means and has no intention of completing his quest to seal 365 demon sennins. He figures he’ll just go after Dakki, the evil temptress that has taken over the empire and who he believes to be the head honcho. Armed with his weapon, the paopei of wind called Daishinben, his bumbling adventures begin.
While at first this show may come across as a light-hearted, comic adventure, it turns out to be much more as the plot deepens and allies become enemies. Pasts are brought out and secrets are revealed. Taikoubou may even turn out to be a strategic genius who truely believes the words of the heart are stronger than steel. Then again, he may just be as stupid as you think! ~_*

This is a wonderful tale of 2 of Walt Disney’s “nine old men”. I had no idea that the two of them were as close as they were. Shot in a documentary-style, so the viewer has a sense of being their houseguest. Lifelong friends, who shared the same career, and very similar, and disimilar life experiences. This film is for anyone who truly appreciates classic animation. By the end of the film, I understood their artistic motivations, as well as their struggles and triumphs. I also got some insight into their relationship with Walt(Disney), and how his death affected them. A truly wonderful film. I own a copy, and highly recommend it.

“Frank and Ollie” is the most fasinating documentary I’ve ever seen. It takes a look at two of Walt Disney’s “Nine Old Men,” Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, from their early years at Disney in the 1930s to their everlasting friendship today. I am amazed at how they were able to get the expressions, emotions, and feelings on the characters they animated. They made faces to get the expressions of the characters, acted them out, and asked what the characters were thinking, and why were they feeling that way. This documentary kept a big smile on my face right from the beginning. I love documentaries about movies of all genres, and about the people who make them. This is no exception. It is very informative, affectionate, and heart-warming. This is a real and rare treat for serious animation buffs, or fans of Disney in general.

I have been awaiting the release of this dramatic action thriller directed by Ridley Scott and Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crow for a long time and I was not disappointed.

DiCaprio plays a C.I.A. agent in the middle east who is trying to collect intelligence and is running into twists and turns around every corner. DiCaprio’s performance is outstanding. You completely forget who he is and become immersed as him as a C.I.A. agent who is undercover. This is quite an acting job considering that he is the furthest thing from that. He has the grizzled appearance of someone undercover and his scenes are so strong and commanding that he doesn’t have that baby boy aspect to him that I’ve seen in other of his pictures. His was an Oscar worthy performance.

There is the eye in the sky tracking DiCaprio by camera from above as he goes about his seemingly rouge missions for the C.I.A. Russell Crowe plays the older C.I.A. family man who is in contact with Ferris (DiCaprio) as he walks the minefield that is intelligence gathering in the middle east. Crowe is absorbed in his daily life in America and seemingly is oblivious to the hardships and deadly consequences that Ferris is facing. This is an understated role for Crowe who also very good performance. He does not look at all like that same man who played The Gladiator. And I think this is the most relaxed character I’ve seen him play yet.

This film was expertly directed by Ridley Scott to the point that at times I felt as if I were there. You can almost feel the sand in your lungs and the stink of death and open air markets as you feast your eyes on this gem.

Although I’m not typically an action movie man this one reeled me in because you really didn’t know what was next around the corner. The action scenes are great, by the way, even though that’s not why I pick movies to watch.

This is a great movie and if you like the actors, director, and genre of this film then it is a definite for you to watch.

I give it all five stars and will watch it again.

Kevin W. Mattingly

Harrisburg Times.

“Body of Lies” is a taut, riveting thriller that weaves a tale of terrorism, espionage, and betrayal amid the current landscape of violence and retribution in the Middle East. The film is based on the novel by David Ignatius.

Leonardo DiCaprio continues to prove that he’s got the acting chops and is believable in action films. Here he plays Roger Ferris, a CIA operative working to track down a bin Ladenesque terrorist named Al-Saleem. Al-Saleem’s trail leads Ferris to Jordan, where he must balance working with and between his CIA handler (played with relish by an overweight, aged Russell Crowe) and the head of Jordanian intelligence (brilliantly played by Mark Strong), who are working at crosspurposes with each other. Ferris further complicates his mission by falling for an Iranian nurse (played by Golshifteh Farahani).

The movie uses wild technology, lies and counterlies, torture, and Ferris’ growing disdain with the intelligence community. Some of the movie seems quite fanciful, and maybe it is, but except for a couple of places, it holds up as a brutually honest thriller.

“Body of Lies” isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s fiction. Some may find it unbelievable, but it’s a movie, and that means it doesn’t have to get everything right. It just has to entertain, and it certainly does.

This film has it all, and I cannot understand those who say it hasn’t aged well. It’s a great bank robbery film. It’s a great prison film. It’s a great chase film. It’s a great love story. It fires on all cylinders. The depth and complexity of the story and the performances are peerless. It’s a sprawling tale over several days, with many important and complex characters, all of whom you feel you know with some depth. Even the small roles are standouts, including Ben Johnson as the crooked sherriff, and Dub Taylor in what should have been a throwaway piece playing a hotel clerk. The only weak spot for me over the years is Ali McGraw who, although beautiful and believable, seems to be playing it so minimalist that she becomes nearly transparent. But that’s a small nit to pick - her by-play with McQueen is spot on. When I saw it for the first time the first thought that came into my mind was “these kids really look and act MARRIED…” which is a tough bit of business to play. Their violent love for one another is the undercurrent here, their desire to simply be left alone, to make it in life, to get away from their problems.

Buy,Download, Or Stream The Getaway! Click Here

The artistry is in the details, in the small brush strokes - the way McQueen holds and uses his .45 automatic are perfect. He is definitely more than just another actor handed a pistol and said “Here, hold this…” Slim Pickens has a tiny gem of a role at the end and in a few brief sentences we learn volumes about his sweet, sad life, and cheer his good fortune for running into our heroes. The Sherriff’s flunky sidekicks provide some honest humor, all big cowboy hats and beer guts crammed into a Cadillac convertible.

McQueen was such an artist, and this is a real masterpiece of his almost haiku way of acting. He’s the master of the small gesture, the subtle glance, the deadpan line that just turns you cold inside. What a shame he left us so soon. The Getaway stands as a real testament to his genius.

Unpredictable, volatile, abrasive, and the only man Charlton Heston ever threaten on a set of a movie (Major Dundee)…I’m talking about `Bloody’ Sam Peckinpah…love him or hate him, the man knew how to tell a story, one that could entertain not only the average film patron with loads of action and violence, but also the haughty, oft-times snobby film critics with his thoughtful and insightful characterizations…actually, I think these same, snobby critics actually got off secretly on being able to enjoy the more visceral elements of his films while still being able to tout them on a cerebral level…like a guilty pleasure without the guilt. But that’s not to say Peckinpah’s films were always critically accepted…I know his film Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974) took a beating, but I enjoyed the hell out of it, in all its glorious dirty, sweaty, dust-caked, fly-ridden seediness…based on a novel by Jim Thompson (The Grifters) and adapted for the screen by Walter Hill (The Warriors, 48 Hrs.), The Getaway (1972) stars Steve McQueen (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape), the man many believe to be the penultimate in machismo and cool, on and off the screen. Co-starring with McQueen is the very beautiful Ali MacGraw (Love Story, Convoy), who became so enamored with her co-star she actually left her husband at the time, movie producer Robert Evans, to be with McQueen, and thus gave up the opportunity to star in several high profile films like Chinatown (1974) and The Great Gatsby (1974)…yes, the lure of the McQueen is a strong one…also appearing is Peckinpah favorite Ben Johnson (Major Dundee, The Wild Bunch, Junior Bonner), quintessential heavy Al Lettieri (The Godfather, Mr Majestyk), Sally Struthers (Five Easy Pieces), whose most recent work include the tearful pleas to feed the starving children (which would probably be a lot more effective if she wasn’t so heavyset…there I said it), Slim Pickens (Blazing Saddles), Richard Bright (The Godfather), `Rub a Dub’ Dub Taylor (The Wild Bunch), Jack `Howard Sprague’ Dodson (”The Andy Griffith Show”), and Bo ‘Knows’ Hopkins (The Wild Bunch, White Lightning).

The film begins with scenes of a Texas prison, focusing on one inmate in particular, that of Carter ‘Doc’ McCoy (McQueen), who’s in his fourth year a ten-year stretch for bank robbery. After being denied parole, Doc agrees to cut a deal with a politically powerful and corrupt individual named Jack Beynon (Johnson), who just happens to also be a member of the parole board (that’s convenient). The deal involves, on being released from prison, that McCoy pull a bank job for Beynon, which he does, and while McCoy’s meticulous planning nets the robbers a large amount of cash, things quickly fall apart as there’s a couple of jokers in the deck (one of them being one of the men McCoy got saddled with by Beynon), and the double cross is in, but McCoy isn’t going down without a struggle, and he’s certainly not going back to the joint. Now McCoy and his wife Carol (MacGraw) must make their way to El Paso with the money, avoiding capture by the authorities (by this time McCoy’s face is plastered all over the news), Beynon’s trigger-happy goons, and one of the aforementioned jokers, all in a effort to make it safely across the border into Mexico.

While not my favorite Peckinpah film (I’ve always been partial to The Wild Bunch), The Getaway is still an excellent film with strong themes and just an all around entertaining story, assisted by superior cast. One thing I’ve noticed about Peckinpah is his ability to relate important aspects of story through visual means, carefully crafted shots and sequences, and make it look easy. A perfect example in this movie is the opening sequences with McQueen’s character in prison. We learn much about him, and feel a sense of the frustration and oppressive nature of his incarceration on his mental well-being to where desperation finally pushes him to the point of doing something he would normally wouldn’t in that of working for Beynon. Of course, this wouldn’t have worked as well with out McQueen playing the role, as his presence is the strong point throughout the film. I’ve heard some comment of MacGraw’s acting abilities (or lack of), but I think this was just a case of having to share the screen with McQueen, and who could complete with that? Not many…I think she did really well, avoiding some over dramatic pitfalls others would have succumbed to in the role…and then there’s supporting cast and the sense they were truly hand picked for their roles, providing, complex, distinctive, and believable characters. I’ve also heard complaints about how the story drags at certain points, and the action sequences uneven and too short, but I’d disagree. I thought the strength was in the quiet moments before the storm, the pacing intentional, to allow for the audience to develop an understanding of the characters and see them not as two-dimensional constructs but living, breathing individuals willing to do what they have in order to get what they want…to me, the action sequences, while certainly a draw for me to this film, were a part of a much larger piece. There were a couple of really interesting aspects about this movie for me, one being that while Peckinpah’s trademark usage of slow motions shots during the violent sequences is present, it seemed a little toned down from some of his other films, but that wasn’t a bad thing. The 2nd aspect was the sort of upbeat ending, which was a real departure given that many of Peckinpah’s films are permeated with fatalistic characters draw down inevitable paths of self-destruction. Some scenes to watch for…Steve McQueen going to town with a shotgun…oh yeah, kiss that squad car good-bye (quite a few cars were killed in the making of this film)…Steve McQueen slugging Sally Struthers in the mouth…hey, you can’t have a Peckinpah film without a little misogyny, and while I would never advocate the use of violence against a woman, I doubt there’d be few who wouldn’t agree that her highly annoying (and fairly sleazy) character was somewhat deserving…all in all this is a great film (much better than the 1994 Kim Bassinger/Alec Baldwin remake, in my opinion), with an exceptional script, acting, and direction, one that entertained me throughout, and reaffirms my belief of the possibilities of the cinema when in the hands of people who know (or knew) what they’re doing…

The picture, presented in widescreen anamorphic (2.40:1), enhanced for 16 X 9 televisions, looks sharp and clean, and the Dolby Digital 1.0 audio comes through very well. The `Deluxe Edition’, which is the one I have, has a few extra features in that of a commentary track with producer Nick Redman, and Peckinpah biographers/historians Paul Seydor, Garner Simmons, and David Weddle. Also included is an original theatrical trailer, along with a `virtual’ audio commentary track with Sam Peckinpah, Steve McQueen, and Ali MacGraw that consists of 1972 audio interview material from the three, spliced together and played over the film.

I found this wonderfully entertaining. Sure, the series doesn’t follow the game exactly, but this was still fun and enjoyable. If you ever wanted to coast through just some PLOT from the game, this should suit the bill just fine. Same style of humor, same fun deamons.

An average show from a great writer with a disappointing finale. Should have been better but wasn’t bad.

When this was released, we all wondered if Waters could run without Divine, who had stage commitments at the time. Well, he sure showed us! From start to finish, the film is riveting. Mink Stole, in my opinion, turns in some of her finest work here - especially “the rant” before she’s given her “fit medicine.” It also introduced Jean Hill, doyenne of the sleazy greeting card, in a dramatic tour de force. The energy between the two women is undeniable. It’s impossible not to love Edith Massey’s purely evil Queen Carlotta and her troop of hot leather goons. Actually, there’s nary a bad performance here. Bonnie (Mary Vivian) Pearce gave what seems to be her swan song as a major character here as well, making only cameos in subsequent Waters pictures, and one can only wonder why she’s no longer cast in larger roles. As Princess Coo-Coo, she combines the pathos of the misplaced personage with the foot-stamping petulance of the spoiled child. Absolutely perfect. And Susan Lowe as the bipolar Mole will alternately have you laughing, crying in sympathy, cringing with fear, and retching with disgust! The gaily-painted, plywood fairytale sets, set against the bleak winter Maryland landscape (nearly all the shooting apparently was done on overcast days), adds an discomfiting edge, as does the bizarre “musical” soundtrack. All the elements mesh together perfectly to create a film that will haunt you long after you view it. A must!

This is John’s trashiest and best work. I thought it would be hard to top Pink Flamingoes, but this one does it. I love Grizelda and who can’t love Edith Massey as Queen Carlotta. This movie is a must have for Waters’ fans.

No, what this Collector’s Edition DVD is made up of is two Moving George stories done in halt motion with puppets. Although it’s original to gaze at first, it has TOTALLY entranced my son. He watches it a least once a day…and this has been going on since before Easter.

However, there are only two right Moving George stories on this DVD: Sharp George Comes to America and Piquant George Goes to the Hospital. The first record, created circa early 1980’s, is about the Man in the Yellow Hat and his initial meeting with George…including his decision to bring George to the city. George’s shipboard antics gets him in Vast anxiety!

The second account has George going to the hospital when he swallows a puzzle allotment. He’s rushed to the emergency room (which is a rather unique storyline for young kids), but ends up forgetting his fears…instead cheering up other people.

The rest of the DVD includes four halt animation/claymation stories (NOT featuring George) :

*Frog and Toad Together

*Frog and Toad Are Friends

*Mouse Soup

*Morris Has a Cold

There’s also a “making of” at the kill.

One of the episodes is absolutely hilarious. It features two rocks bemoaning how they don’t have eyes and such. They wreck out in song “We don’t have belly buttons…” and as they mention various body parts, the parts magically appear. It’s clever and very comic…my husband and I get distinct we’re in front of the TV every time it’s on! (You gotta peek it to savor it, possess me…)

So if you’re looking for 100% Bewitching George, you may be disappointed. But at this affordable price–and considering the length (almost 2 hours) –I judge it’s a grand pick for something different for the youngsters.

John Clark Matthews is a rare talent and his “Interesting George” creation is a accurate masterpiece. The attention to detail is impressive as is his utilize of music and voices. Win the scene when George is save in jail, for instance. This is truly touching, pure, innocent and blooming.

These animations, here including the “Frog and Toad” series from the 1980s are a delight to children. Our daughter has watched them over and over and has brought joy to all of us. These perform noteworthy of what is produced today peep like banal rubbish.

Matthews must also be a modest person, it is difficult to come by information on him today. The “makings of” on this DVD are also very curious but be careful about letting the kids discover him taking George’s face off the puppet (might be a runt upsetting!)

I announce any discerning parent to capture this for the mental health of your child… and the community at big! The world needs more of this kind of refined art.
