Cartoon Network broadcast “LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles” in 2013, a three-part series that took (as one might expect) a comical view of the Star Wars universe. In 2014 Disney XD broadcast “Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles”, a four-part series that changes the name slightly in order for Disney, which now owns Star…
Disney had a great tradition of nature documentaries that produced feature films in the 1950s and shorts throughout the 1960s (many of which were shown in schools). With DisneyNature, which kicked off a new series of films beginning in 2007, we are getting a new set of films that are co-produced with various partners, many of…
Following up on the previous LEGO Super Heroes home video release (Justice League vs. Bizarro League) we get a new adventure featuring computer animated versions of small plastic representations of some of DC’s iconic characters. This time they are going up against not just one or two big foes, but, as the title suggests, the…
If you aren’t familiar with Batman Unlimited, don’t worry, you are not alone. This movie is part of a multi-pronged alternative branding for the franchise that includes toys, a web-series, and direct to video movies. I didn’t realize this was happening since I was trying to pay more attention to the canonical happening in the…
Bruce Timm is a name that looms large in the minds of DC fans. His work on “Batman: The Animated Series” and subsequent series in the DC animated universe is highly regarded for the tone of storytelling, accessibility to a wide audience and its reverence to the source material.

I was prepared to hate this. Granted, Scooby-Doo! And KISS: Rock And Roll Mystery isn’t a great work of art, nor is it meant to be. This ins’t a film made because there was a story to tell. It was made to make money and cash in on the KISS and Scooby-Doo! fans. And I’m pretty…
My kids were not expecting to enjoy Home as much as they did. My opinion doesn’t really matter much, I’m not the target audience, they are. Ranging in ages from 5 to 12 there are four kids who enjoyed the film and would even watch it again, which is saying something considering they all reluctantly…
This is the season Jake becomes a father. That might be the most important thing to remember. There is more continuity this season, which really started in earnest during season 3, but now it has gotten to the point where missing a couple of episodes can leave the viewer wondering what happened in a particular…
Foghorn Leghorn (my favorite Looney Tunes character) is a military general in charge of some operation to obtain a flower that blooms once every 200 years. Apparently it is the key to some sort of weapon. Then it vanishes in a flash and the credits roll. Then we get to Lola Bunny as a perfume sales…
Entertainment One has a new film All Creatures Big And Small which has nothing to do with the James Herriot novels or the television series (and film) they inspired. Instead is tells a story that runs alongside the launch of Noah’s Ark. The arrival of this film is meant to coincide with Google Play’s recently launched “Family” sub-heading….
