Review

"Cinderella" is the most-filmed story in movie history. Mention the name to most people, they'll inevitably think of this 1950 animated classic, and with good reason. Though obvious liberties are taken with the original tale, this is the definitive Hollywood version of the story, and arguably the last of Disney's truly great animated films until "The Little Mermaid" 39 years later. For it's DVD release, Disney has pulled out all the stops in restoring the picture & sound to its original pristine glory...the transfer of this film is easily one of their best, making "Cinderella" look like a brand new film. The ample set of extras range from very good to phenomenally stupid (who really gives a damn about teenage Disney tarts performing in a techno remake of "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes?"). Another goofy feature is ESPN Classic's "Cinderella Stories," which is exactly what you think it is, but seems hilariously out of place for inclusion in this package. Still, since the shameless self-promoting Disney empire owns ESPN, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Star Trek - The Animated Series

Category: Quick Reviews
This old Saturday morning chestnut from the 70s isn't considered by some purists to be part of the so-called "Star Trek" canon. I'm not sure why, since the main characters are voiced by the same actors (James Doohan also provides voices for a lot of other characters), and many episodes feature stories creative & intelligent enough to rival the original show. Maybe it's because it's so cheap looking. The animation is downright awful, even for the early 70s, and the cheesy stock music score doesn't help much. But for me, this was a wonderful nostalgia trip, and I enjoyed seeing these old cartoons again. Whether or not I'd want to sit through them again is another story. All 22 episodes, some with optional audio or text commentary, are included in this nicely packaged box. And, since there's nothing else related to "Star Trek" left to release on DVD, completists may want to pick this up. From Paramount
