Disney's Treasury Of Children's Classics (From Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs To Pocahontas)


Disney's Treasury Of Children's Classics (From Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs To Pocahontas)



Disney's Tarzan
The complete retelling of favorite Disney movies in a true read-aloud style.
Customer Review: Tarzan
The Edgar Rice Burroughs books are full of suspense, a perfect bedtime story. The best thing is that many (if not all of them) can be downloaded from from Project Gutenberg. Try reading the first one, Tarzan of the Apes, to your child as a serial bedtime story. They'll be begging to go to bed.
Customer Review: Disney's Tarzan , clear and Precise
This version of Disney's Tarzan is clearly written and has accurate drawings true to the film's content. Rarely do you find a smaler version of the big books so well presented.


Cinderella (The Wonderful World of Disney)
More is not necessarily better. A glitzy Hollywood cast and a big budget did not improve the wonderful 1957 teleplay (or its equally charming 1964 remake) upon which this version is based. This is partly because Brandy, cast in the title role, cannot act. Not helping matters are Whoopi Goldberg as the prince's mother and Jason Alexander as his valet. Their shtick wears thin very quickly. However, Paolo Montalban is charismatic as the prince, and Whitney Houston plays a fairy godmother with pizzazz. The production cost millions, and is certainly lavish, but the whole affair feels forced and overdone, reminding one of a prom queen wearing too much makeup. It does deserve credit for a multi-ethnic cast, the addition of two new songs and a hip attitude. However, the 1964 version (the original was not taped) is much sweeter and more romantic. Originally released as Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Customer Review: Cinderella The Musical by Rodgers & Hammerstein
I purchased this dvd for my four-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. She loves Cinderella, singing,dancing and music. Among other lessons,we are trying to teach tolerance. This dvd presents a very talented and diverse cast of characters. She viewed it and loves it.
Customer Review: BEST
This was the BEST Cinderella made to date.. Brandy did amazing as did the other cast members.
