Music and rhymes
19 July 2007
A friend turned me on to this DVD as a gift for my nieces. The hardest thing is to find something that will keep a child's attention. I found the colors and music of the animation get the kids attention right off the bat. Then they go from animation to live action. Where we not only meet other kids and what they think shooting stars are but also Dr Iz and his IZ-o-meter with his rhyming expiation of what shooting stars are. My favorite part of this DVD is the extras. One give a more detailed version for older kids with a passion for knowledge about space. Another is a fun music video that give the kids a chance to get up and dance while they learn the Izzatronic dance.

Labyrinth (1986)
nice mix music, Muppet's and good verses evil
13 January 2003
Great movie I love the way it mixes music Muppet's and symbolism.

Jennifer Connelly does a wonderful job playing the self centered teen Sarah who goes an a mission to find her way through a Labyrinth and reach the Goblin King's castle to rescue her baby brother before the king turns him into a Goblin. David Bowie also does a wonderful job playing Jareth the Goblin King. The villain who tries his best to stop her. This movie sits on my often viewed shelf and is one of my favorites. I tend to be drawn to the fantasy world of magic and good verses evil this movie fits right in

Great for family viewing
13 January 2003
This movie has got to be my favorite movie. There is just something about this movie that appeals to my fantasy nature I remember the first time I went to see it. It was at a drive-in and I was Tia's age. All I could remember was the dogs chasing them but as I got older I caught it on TV and eventually buying the tape. In my opinion this is one of the best films Disney put out for family viewing with lots of action. The special effects were great for their day (this is a 70's film) The two young stars Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards who plays Tony and Tia do an excellent job of making you believe they are the brother and sister with the gifts of sight, telepathy and levitation who are on the run from the rich and powerful Aristotle Bolt (Ray Milland) who wants to exploit them.

Eddie Albert plays Jason O'Day A crusty old man who finds the kids hiding in his camper and decides to help them find their way home to Witch Mountain

I have enjoyed this movie over and over again. Thank you Mr. Disney

The story of the boy who could
17 September 2001
This is the story of a boy named Duffy Moon (Ike Eisenmann) who was small for his age and picked on by his class mates. So he orders a book to help him control the environment around him. with the help of his best friend Peter (Lance Kerwin) he starts an odd jobs company. His friend Peter has misgivings about Duffy's new venture but helps just the same and shows Duffy that the ability to do didn't come from a book but from inside himself. A good story to watch with the kids
