Alice in Wonderland (Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection)

216 reviews
Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn

Walt Disney Home Video, 1998

Walt Disney's Wonderland
Early on in Walt Disney's career, he had wanted to tell the story of Alice in Wonderland. As early as 1923 he had begun a series of short films, which featured a young girl in the role of Alice and integrated her live-action performance with animation. So it's no surprise that he wished to make a full-length film based upon Lewis Carroll's classic stories. What is a surprise is that, in 1951 when ...

Walt Disney Home Video, 1994

wonderful
it was lovely to see this classic once again, and the video/sound quality are very good! I prefer the original version with the sligltly faded colours as they seem more real... you feel like you're looking at a piece of history...and you are!

Fantasia (Walt Disney's Masterpiece)

Leopold Stokowski, Deems Taylor

Walt Disney Home Video, 1992

Wow! The First Music Videos and For Classical Music Too!
This movie was clearly way ahead of its time when it was released in the early 1940s and I'm not surprised that it was a box-office flop at that time as it struck me while watching this that this must be the "Sgt. Pepper's" of animation at that time. Another major reason for the lack of success was that the logistics of the times were not up to scratch as few theatres were equiped with ...

The Lion King (A Walt Disney Masterpiece)

456 reviews
Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick

Walt Disney Home Video, 1995

Perfect film
I love this film for the five main reasons. Reason 1: I like all the characters in this except Scar, the main baddie. He annoys me just slightly (although I like his voice). Reason 2: The scenery portrays a beautiful vision of Africa and it makes me feel like I'm really there. Reason 3: The plot is very beautiful and it has made me want to read "Hamlet" on which the plot was based! Reason 4: This ...

The Little Mermaid II - Return to the Sea

161 reviews
Jodi Benson, Samuel E. Wright

Walt Disney Video, 2000

Wonderful to watch!
Like most people, I love "The Little Mermaid". It was the first Disney Princess movie I ever watched and started my love of all the princesses. When I heard of "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea", I had to see it. I thought it would be good, but not as good as the original. Well, I was wrong. I enjoyed this movie very much and I've watched it many times. The story is similar to "The Little ...

Schoolhouse Rock! - Multiplication Rock

Walt Disney Video, 1997

A Schoolhouse Rock Testimonial
When I was in third grade I never could get my times tables down pat- the sevens and twelves proved especially tricky. So my mom checked out this video from the library, and that changed immediately. I could rattle off my multiplication tables as fast as everybody else after watching this only a few times. Amazing! That same year I got put in advanced math. Coincidence? I think not! All the songs ...

Lady and the Tramp

A Great Family Romance Gets The Platinum Treatment
Walt Disney's "Lady And The Tramp" was never one of my personal favorite films as a child. I'm all grown up now, and it has become a very enjoyable treat for me and my entire family. For those unfamiliar with the story, here's a brief explanation: Cocker Spaniel Lady has a perfect life until a baby shows up. She begins to feel neglected and when her owners take a little vacation and leave her ...

Schoolhouse Rock! - Grammar Rock

26 reviews
Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie

Walt Disney Video, 1997

Now all I need is a video of "Time for Timer!"
When my son was born, and only my singing seemed to comfort him, (my singing had never comforted anyone before...) I found myself singing "The Preamble" and "Conjunction Junction." I bought all four Schoolhouse Rock videos shortly afterwards. He's three now, and this is his second favorite video.(after "Multiplication Rock") He does, however, leave the room during "Busy Prepositions." ...

Bambi (55th Anniversary Limited Edition)

Walt Disney Home Video, 1997

Bambi (2-Disc Special Platinum Edition)
Bambi is a classic story that makes you laugh and cry. The DVD arrived in excellent condition and plays great. I am very happy with my copy of Bambi.

Mulan (Disney's Masterpiece)

459 reviews
Miguel Ferrer, Harvey Fierstein

Walt Disney Home Video, 1999

Great DVD
I ordered this for my granddaughter who has suddenly discovered Mulan and didn't have the DVD. She sat and watched very quietly for the first 45 minutes (she's two) and continues to want to watch it.

just buggy
My son really enjoys this movie. I am glad I added it to our video library.

The Little Mermaid (A Walt Disney Classic)

19 reviews
Rene Auberjonois, Christopher Daniel Barnes

Walt Disney Home Video

one of the best animated Disney features of all time.....
You know I couldn't write reviews of almost every other film I have seen, and leave this one out! I remember the day I saw this film for the first time, when I was about seven years old. It was one of those films you never forget. I had the great fortune to see "The Little Mermaid" in the theatre (which is how it SHOULD be seen). Not only is the animation spectacular and absolutely stunning ...

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride

239 reviews
Matthew Broderick, Moira Kelly

Walt Disney Home Video, 1998

Excellent sequel
One of the few sequels that didn't kill the original disney movie. Here, like in the original Lion King shakespeare elements are used. This time Romeo and Juliet instead of Hamlet. The music was excellent and memorable. Emotional and not the crappy canned music in so many other sequels. A movie that I would still watch again and again.

Monsters, Inc.

823 reviews
Jack Angel, Bob Bergen

Disney/Pixar, 2002

It's a scream!
"Monsters,Inc" is one of PIXAR's cleverest creations. It's about the Cyclopean Mike (Billy Crystal) and the shaggy Sully (John Goodman) whose career is to make children scream, keeping Monsteropolis powered. They collect children's screams. However,their city is having an "energy crisis" since children aren't as easily scared. Sully has been employee of the month--but the jealous salamander ...

Sleeping Beauty (Fully Restored Limited Edition) (Walt Disney's Masterpiece)

227 reviews
Mary Costa, Bill Shirley

Walt Disney Home Video, 1997

Bogus Reviews on a Disc Not Yet Released But...
I am in the Sleeping Beauty camp. This is the first film I remember seeing in a movie theater in 1959, I was all of three years-old but the imagery has remained with me and this is my favorite of all the "Fairy Tales" Walt put out. I can't wait for the Blu-ray release (and this coming from a former HD DVD fan.) But you go with the flow with high def. Anyone who gets a prescreen copy let ...

The Little Mermaid (Fully Restored Special Edition) (Disney's Masterpiece)

404 reviews
Rene Auberjonois, Christopher Daniel Barnes

Walt Disney Home Video, 1998

Favorite Childhood Movie
i am 25 years old and this movie has been my all time favoirte Disney Movie behind Fantasia. I first saw this movie in theaters when my grandmother took me to see it and my mother and i saw it at the Fox Theater the next year. I used to rent it on video when it came out and then i got it not long after it was relesed. Ariel is one of my favorite Disney stars. I have it on video but sadly i can ...

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

434 reviews
Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon

Walt Disney Video/Touchstone Home Video, 1997

A tempting purchase
I own the special edition of the dvd and I'm debating big time on buying this, because where else has anyone seen the bust that comes with the set??? It even talks! I saw it today in Target and my immediate thought was I'd give an arm and leg up for it. So I guess a true lover or collector of NBC would buy this.

Schoolhouse Rock! - America Rock

Homeschooling mother of five
Well, i am here to say this is a fabulous tool! I watched all of these as a child and have shared them with my children. For those of you with the less than 5 star reviews let me say...This is not meant to be an exhaustive history lesson! It is a great way to introduce children to the history of our country. Something that, in my experience, schools made very boring. My children love history. ...
