Treasure Planet (Walt Disney Pictures Presents)
: :This kid-friendly disc serves as an advance for the DVD release of Disney's Treasure Planet feature, while emphasizing the story's roots in the written word. The main attraction is the movie's story, which can be read aloud in five different languages while viewers watch successive, still images from the original animated film. Sound strange? Sure, but the process is engrossing for children--a natural audience for storytelling. Also on board is a multilingual vocabulary experience, in which you can hear words associated with Treasure Planet's story ...

Marvin the Martian - Space Tunes
: :Eighty great minutes of classic Looney Tunes with a sci-fi theme. While most of the toons deal with Marvin the Martian (featured prominently on the video cover), the collection includes lesser-known shorts such as 'Rocketbye Baby' (a Martian and human baby are switched), 'Space Net' (a Dragnet parody featuring Daffy Duck), and the inspired 'Hyde and Go Tweet' (Tweety Bird turns into a monster).

Wizards
: :Far from the masterful treatment that groundbreaking animator Ralph Bakshi gave the similarly themed The Lord of the Rings just a year later, Wizards feels amateurish. A simplistic distillation of fantasy tropes, the scenario is millions of years after nuclear war wipes out civilization. Middle Earth fairies, elves, and magic emerge from the 'good lands,' while dimwitted mutants with poor comic timing emerge from the nuclear wastes. In the ultimate confrontation between good and evil, a hippie-ish wizard named Avatar defends his utopia against the ...

Heavy Metal (Thx)
: :As long as there is a need for adolescent male sexual fantasy, there will be an audience for Heavy Metal. Released in 1981 and based on stories from the graphic magazine of the same name (possibly the greatest publication to simultaneously provoke imagination and masturbation), the film has since become the most popular single title in Columbia/TriStar's entire film library. That's an amazing fact considering just how silly and senseless the movie really is--an aimless, juvenile amalgam of disjointed stories and clashing visual styles, employing ...
