I've just reviewed <i>In Search of the Castaways</i>:
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/insearcho ... aways.html

This 1962 film stars Maurice Chevalier and Hayley Mills, and is adapted from a book by Jules Verne.

But aside from the standard 90-second promo for classic live action Disney films that have been treated right on DVD (including Hayley Mills's first two films for the studio), there is nothing.
You need to start reading more closely, Pals! :roll:

Two new reviews up tonight.

First, Luke's excellent look at the original <i>That Darn Cat!</i>...

And since that movie discusses the "current beach-movie-proliferated state of cinema," what better review to join it tonight than my review of the new <i>Beaches</i>: Special Edition DVD?

it's a shame...:( No bonus features.
I'm a bit iffy about owning this movie. Perhaps a rent will do. :)
Nice review, Aaron! :up:

Excellent job on <b><i>The Chorus</b></i>, Aaron! You've piqued my interest in the film.

I've got a new review up of <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/thelifeaq ... ><b><i>The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou</a></b></i>. It's a really swell DVD set that would be easy to recommend if the film were as a little bit better. As it is, Wes Anderson films may be an acquired taste but I've enjoyed them all to a degree, and this film has grown on me with another viewing.

The review took a long time because there are lots of bonus features on this 2-disc set including some of the best I've seen on a DVD. Do be sure to <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/thelifeaquatic.html">read the review</a>. It's got Bill Murray and stop-motion animation in it.
