I recieved Summer Magic & That Darn Cat today... the cover art you've all seen, they both come w/chapter inserts, w/ad on one side. The Summer Magic DVD has a picture of Hayley on it and That Darn Cat as a pic of the cat w/a collar w/a diamond $ sign hanging from it.

2 of my favortie live action movies, then again there aren't many live action Disney movies I don't like...

My review of the new Kim Possible movie: "So the Drama," which premiered on the Disney Channel not too long ago and makes its way to DVD in a Top Secret Extended edition today, was posted last night. Check it out.

Thanks for the compliments on The Chorus review.

Very well-written review for the Heffalump movie, Luke, although it's disheartening that it's apparently so bland (the movie, not the review :P). But then, I can't say that I'm surprised.

You know when I read your review, Aaron, I was so tempted to buy the movie. :oops: but then I realized I had to save since Pooh's Heffalump is comin out soon. ;) Which the way...

Thanks for the review, Luke! Certainly appreciate reading it after this stupid week of finals. O_o

Well, I guess I pretty much said in those sentences I wrote there, but..

Good reviews Aaron and Luke! :up: :)

Another good review, Luke! :up: I was wondering where you were going with the whole Snow White/'90s Renaissance thing. That made for a nice intro.

WoW! Thanks for the Parent Trap review!
Tis mahvahlous! 8) I'm eagerly awaiting the DVD's release!
I think the most interesting parts that I'm "dying" to see are "Updating a Classic" and "How Hallie Became Annie"! :)

Lohan was so much better when she was young! Well, she had better movies. :roll:

Excellent Parent Trap review, Luke! You know very well how eager I've been to hear your thoughts on the film, so I'm really happy to know that you enjoyed it. Although the DVD seems light, it's more than what I could seriously ask for for a live-action catalogue title (well, the trailer, screen tests, and additional deleted scenes would've been nice...). It sounds like a pleasing DVD overall and one I'm definitely adding to my collection ASAP considering it's my favorite Disney live action film.

Parent Trap seems similar to the movie It Takes Two but it sounds pretty good. I'll have to rent this when it comes out since I haven't even watched it yet. Thanks for the great review Luke!

This is true, but I would be more apt to say that <i>It Takes Two</i> seems more strangely similar to the <b>original</b> 1961 movie of <i>The Parent Trap</i> ;)

Hi,
Regarding the Extreme Adventure Fun volume:

I recently spent a smaller fortune getting all the previous Disney Treasures I had missed out on from eBay. Among all these shorts the majority had very good (for their age) transfers from film. However some of them (most notably some of the easter egg ones) were taken from very poor quality composite video masters, exhibiting dot-crawl, rainbowing, interlacing artifacts and generally muddy colours. I was very let down to see that one of my all-time favourite shorts, Mickey's Trailer, was one of them.

So I was wondering if you by any chance could check if the quality for that particular short is the same in this collection, or better?
