Disney Princess Tea Party: Simone (sih-MOAN)


Disney Princess Tea Party: Simone (sih-MOAN)
Personalized for Simone (sih-MOAN)

Hear the Disney Princesses sing and speak to Simone over 60 times throughout this one of a kind CD. It will be an instant hit with Simone that she will listen to over and over. Watch her face light up as she hears her name sung and spoken by the original Disney Princess cast. Simone will join each of the Disney Princesses as they prepare for a Princess Tea Party. Each princess will personally coach Simone through getting dressed and using proper etiquette, and Simone will receive a personal invitation to the castle to join all the Disney Princesses at their Princess Tea Party!


Treasure Planet Disney Read-Along
This kid-friendly disc serves as an advance for the DVD release of Disney's Treasure Planet feature, while emphasizing the story's roots in the written word. The main attraction is the movie's story, which can be read aloud in five different languages while viewers watch successive, still images from the original animated film. Sound strange? Sure, but the process is engrossing for children--a natural audience for storytelling. Also on board is a multilingual vocabulary experience, in which you can hear words associated with Treasure Planet's story (e.g., "chest") in Spanish, Italian, French, etc. Two songs from the film, written and performed by Goo Goo Dolls icon John Rzeznik, also get the image-by-image treatment, though the disc also includes a powerful, ghostly celestial music video for Rzeznik's "I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)." There's also a game compatible with Playstation 2 (and other gaming consoles with DVD drive). --Tom Keogh
Customer Review: Underappreciated
I know this was a box office bomb, but being the Treasure Island fanatic that I am I could not help but love it for its wildly creative retelling and the wonderful animation and spirit. I think that this film truly captured the emotional wonder of Robert Louis Stevenson's original story, if not the details (Then again, not too many movies exactly get the book correct). The soundtrack is incredible, perfectly piratey. The entire story is one of longing, angst, and change. So it may be a little moody, but it's a beautiful peace of art and Disney magic.
Customer Review: Treasure Island as an animated space opera
Pirates and kids are always a hit. This movies translates a children's classic tale from the Atlantic Ocean to the space of the galaxy in a Star Wars mix of technology, Robots and cute little aliens ( Morphy). Mutiny comes at an unexpected time, but the captain, the astronomer and Jim make it away alive. Getting back the ship and bringing back the treasure is another story altogether and it brings young Jim to his full abilities and courage. The technology seems more like magic and space like a small ocean, but the fantasy is pretty flawless? It is a fun movie, but lacks that classic edge due to the Disney 'formula' approach?
