Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree (1995)
Darling classic that should become available on DVD, along with other Muppet Xmas specials
Back when my 16-year-old was four, my mother taped a number of Xmas specials for her on a VHS two-tape collection. We treasure these tapes, and over the years a number of the classics have found their way onto DVD. The sudden explosion of "Rudolph" products is a good example of how these beloved stories have made their way into our collective Xmas memories. I wish "Mr. Willowby's Xmas" would also be recognized as a valuable contribution to my daughter's generation and become available on DVD. I know there were other Jim Henson Xmas productions that appeared on T.V.,so a collection would be fantastic!
We watch "The Muppet's Christmas Carol" every year as well... just can't get enough of those adorable creatures!
Ratatouille (2007)
Delicious movie for children and adults alike
Something for everyone---the thick accents of some of the characters may go right over the kids' heads---but they'll be too busy enjoying every minute the rats are on screen! Absolutely adorable and fantastic story. Brad Bird does it again. Busy, busy man--must've starting working on this while he was finishing up on "The Incredibles". I hope he writes many more movies in the future. He has such a grasp on human emotions. And if you find the movie is too bogged down with these emotions--just check out the quality of the animation. Unbelievable CGI--Pixar is the primo company in this art form and always will be...If only every movie was made with such love and attention to detail!~~~sigh~~~
