Disney’s animated take on the classic tale by Charles Dickens’ is singing and barking its way to Blu-ray in August. “Oliver and Company” will be released for Blu-ray on August 6, 2013.

“Oliver and Company” is a timeless classic that was inspired by Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist.” “Oliver and Company” is a fun-filled, action-packed musical adventure voiced and sung by a talented cast. The film skillfully blends lovable characters, cool songs, and action-packed adventure into a contemporary classic. Disney’s high-energy tale begins in the concrete canyons of New York City, where Oliver, an adorable orphaned kitten, is befriended by Dodger, a carefree mutt with a certain street “savoir faire.” The mischievous little Oliver is welcomed by Dodger’s pack of pickpocket pooches, including dim-witted Einstein, ravishing Rita, and live-wire Tito. This group of misfits then runs into trouble when the evil mastermind Sykes, who is aided by his two daunting Dobermans, schemes to kidnap the lonely little rich girl who just adopted Oliver! It’s up to the brave kitten and his new friends to race to the rescue in an electrifying chase through the city’s subway system.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Atlantis: Milo’s Return coming to Blu-Ray and DVD in June

March 27, 2013 by amy Leave a Comment

Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Atlantis: Milo’s Return will debut on in a combo pack on DVD and Blu-Ray on June 11. The combo pack will include both films on a single Blu-ray disc plus each film on individual DVDs. Here’s what Disney has to say about the movies:

Set a course for adventure as Milo Thatch and his fearless crew dive into the mysteries of the sea. The group’s underwater expedition brings them face-to-face with gigantic sea monsters, spectacular spirits and the mythical land of Atlantis while they discover the power of friendship and teamwork. Loaded with thrills and stunning visual effects, this sensational 2-Movie Collection takes audiences on an unforgettable voyage they’ll want to experience over and over again!

I saw the first Atlantis movie back when it came out in 2001 and thought it was a great movie. Unlike most of the Disney movies, I only saw it one time, so I’m looking forward to seeing it again. Now that I have two boys, I can’t wait to get it (and the sequel, that I never saw) to share with my kids. I think they will love the action packed, adventure movies.

The 3-Disc Blu-ray combo will be available June 11 for $29.99. Atlantis: The Lost Empire is rated PG in the U.S. and Canada and Atlantis: Milo’s Return is rated G in the U.S. and Canada.

Are you a fan of the Atlantis movies?

Two Great Comedies in One Combo Pack Comes to Blu-ray this Summer

March 24, 2013 by guest blogging Leave a Comment

I am looking forward to laughing on June 11th when these two new “hilarious” comedies come in to my home to review on Blu-ray. This 2 movie collection comes with both “The Emperor’s New Groove” and “Kronk’s New Groove” so you get double the fun. I have never seen either of these movies which makes it even more fun to see the unexpected little comedy comments, double meanings that Disney is famous for putting in their movies.

The 3-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack includes both feature films on a single Blu-ray disc plus each film on individual DVDs. Disney has packed it with their cast of voices/characters with David Spade leading the group as the voice of Emperor Kuzco, John Goodman as Pasha, Eartha Kitt as Yzma and all three of these are play these voices in both films. There will be even more recognized voices for you to distinguish but you need to watch (or listen) to find out more!

One great move Disney made with these movies is having Sting provide the Original Song. It was such a great song it actually was nominated for an Academy Award in 2000.
