Walt Disney has released the timeless Alice in Wonderland on Blu Ray which combines a restored copy of the film along with tons of bonus material. This highly impressive animated classic only gets better with age and offers something for fans of all ages.
For those unfamiliar with the story, it involves a young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole and embarks on a journey through magical land filled with talking animals, quirky characters, and an evil queen. With such beloved and iconic characters such as the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the evil Queen it is easy to see why this is become a beloved classic. The film is so popular it recently spawned a live action version starring Johnny Depp.
Lovingly restored the true beauty and magic of the film shines in all of its glory. The impressive clarity of the Blu Ray gives visual and sound quality which has never before been available. The set also has tons of bonus footage including a paint the roses game and a never before seen introduction by Walt Disney as well as numerous featurette’s and a new song from the Cheshire Cat.
While this is the 60th anniversary edition of the film it seems clear that this timeless classic will delight in charm for countless generations to come.
Disney has also released Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2. This was a highly charming film that I got to enjoy with our family as our niece and nephews really enjoyed the heartwarming film as did all the family members in attendance. The film stars the voice of George Lopez as Papi, a Chihuahua dealing with five rambunctious puppies who constantly find themselves getting into trouble despite their best intentions. This of course gets the puppies and Papi in trouble with their mom Chloe, who thinks their father, needs to set a better example for them and not encourage their misbehavior by tales of brave Chihuahua warriors of old. The darling dog’s human owners have their lives complicated by bank robbers and problems with the bank which leaves the canine heroes as the only hope to save the day.
