Disney Movies on DVD and Blue Ray
I grew up watching Disney movies especially their animated films. I remember collecting Mickey Mouse and Pluto toys everytime we went to toy shops and some of those where still in alive in my cabinet. One of my favorite animated films of Disney was Fantasia which I saw before on television. I enjoyed the orchestral music and the animation that goes with it, I hope there’s available DVD of it and it’s worth a collector’s item.
But among the Disney films I really enjoyed that I saw in the cinema were A Bug's Life, Ratatouille, Up and the Toy Story franchise. Until now I manage to watch it again either online or I borrowed DVD from a friend, it is very rare to see this kind of movies on record bars because aside from me there are also who is waiting for it and managed to buy it earlier than me.

Walt Disney Pictures’ Mars Needs Moms opens in all cinemas on March 16!
The sci-fi movie follows the nine year old Milo (Dusky), whose mom (Cusack) was abducted by Martians in order to take care of the Martian babies along with other mothers. With the help of Gribble (Folger) with his bionic pet named Two-Cat (Baker) and Ki (Harnois) a rebellious Martian girl, they will help Milo to rescue his mom and the rest of the mothers and bring them back to earth.
With all the equipments and visual effects available now, Zemeckis explained that he was happy in the creation of Mars Needs Moms, making it visually appealing and more futuristic. “The advancement is one thousand-fold. The team that created ‘Mars Needs Moms’ is the best performance-capture digital facility on the Earth. The movie—its imagery and the story the technology allows us to tell—is absolutely beyond anything you’ve seen before.” He explained.
“One of the great bonuses of doing a movie in performance capture is that it’s in 3D all the time. We have to make our movie in 3D just to do it. We now design the movie to be presented in 3D, too. And when you’re doing a 3D movie that’s completely virtual like ‘Mars Needs Moms,’ the 3D can be more spectacular than you can do in any other form. We spend a lot of time and energy designing our movies for the 3D experience for the audience.” Zemeckis shares that the most important aspect of the movie is its art form and making it special to cater all ages.
Aside from the outer space, Gribble’s liar is one of the things that movie goers and 3D aficionados should be expecting. Director Simon Wells shares that in that part of the movie with the enhancement done in 3D that can see Gribble’s liar with more details with all its gadgets, moving mechanisms and secret monitors.
With the help of 3D animation, Mars Needs Moms will be one of the sci-fi movies that all ages will be excited to see. It will be showing in all cinemas nationwide beginning March 16, available in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D and regular format and will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International.

Walt Disney’s I am Number Four
I am Number Four follows the character played by Alex Pettyfer who hides in different identity in order to save himself from the Mogadorians. Mogadorians are the aliens who tried to kill all the Lorians, where Alex is one of them. In order to stop the enemy he needs to develop his skills and power and unite with the rest of his fellow survivors.
The movie reminds me of the film Eragon which it’s about a kid destined to save his tribe but at first he was clueless about it, and it happens all the time in other heroine theme movies. Sadly, regarding the storyline the establishing of the character and the plot was not that strong. For a movie that is a science fiction and that has so many twists and turns it needs a clear explanation which at first was not clear, you need to watch it until the middle part to understand the flow of the story.
But for those who are into visual effects and action, I am Number Four is a kind of movie to watch this month. Especially that into alien-hero like of action, with glowing hands, enormous dog, and aliens with tattoo head and gills beside their nose. I like the effects of lights coming from the hands and mixed it with action fast to slow motion effect which to be honest it reminds me of the neon lights in Tron that was beautiful on IMAX and 3D.
This was the first time I saw Alex Pettyfer, he did a convincing role about being clueless and an alien who has power, and it was great to see Dianna Agron on the big screen having a big break aside from Glee and maybe she can do more someday.

Walt Disney holds sneak preview of Tangled on Jan 24 & 25
Tangled is twisted version of Rapunzel, which follows the tale of a young woman, named Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore) who was imprisoned by an evil witch in a tower. With her long magical golden hair and pet chameleon, they met and held captive the prince (charming) of bandit, Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi). With the help of Flynn, Rapunzel escapes the tower and they are set to a more fun adventure that will give a beautiful twist on the Brothers Grimm famous fairytale.
“Tangled is a wonderful story of two people who don’t really know who they are yet, and in the course of the film, they both discover their destiny. We wanted to break some of the stereotypes that had been done before. Flynn is a guy who’s been there, done that, and seen it all. Rapunzel is a sheltered, naïve-but-smart girl who hasn’t been there, hasn’t done that, and hasn’t seen anything! He helps bring her to a place where she can see herself more clearly, and she helps bring him to a place where he can change some of the mistakes he’s made in life. Together, they fill in what’s missing in each other.” producer Roy Conli described the film.
Tangled was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard and will be showing on February 2 in all theaters nationwide.

Get ready to get TANGLED on February 2
From the premise of Rapunzel the story follows the Princess Rapunzel (Moore) who was held prison by a witch named Mother Gothel (Murphy) in a tower. Rapunzel grew her hair long but opposite from the original story her long blond hair has magic and she can control it whatever she wants. With her pet Pascal, a chameleon waits for his prince to come and rescue her from the tower. Unfortunately, the charming prince she is waiting for is not a royal prince instead a prince of bandit named Flynn Rider (Levi). Rapunzel proposed that she will help Flynn if he will help her escape from the evil witch. Flynn accepted the proposal and their adventure begins with lots of twist and turns including their hilarious misfortunes.
Director Nathan Greno shares that Tangled is different from the usual Rapunzel movie that everyone saw before. “We flipped it on its head to make a movie that’s relevant, fresh and different. My co-director Byron Howard and I both love the classic Disney films, and we wanted to go back to this cool, retro look from the fifties, and mix it with contemporary storytelling, pacing, action and humor. This puts a whole new layer on this kind of story.” Greno explained.
“The scope of this movie is gigantic—with horse chases and sword fights, prison breaks and floods. The story gave us a chance to take modern-day moviemaking sensibilities and pump it into a classic story.” Directed Howard Byron added.
According to the two directors they help to steer the birth of Tangled in the big screen where the idea was already in the mind of Walt Disney himself on how to bring the magic of Rapunzel and bring it to the larger audience. As for Greno they wanted to balance out the characters in the story to make it more dynamic and fun to watch. “She needed someone to be her foil and equal—a character who could hold his own against this quirky, intelligent girl. She’s very smart, but she’s not worldly. She has this limited world view and doesn’t really know what’s out there. She knows she wants to see those floating lights and figure out what they are. That’s where Flynn Rider comes in. He’s the worldly, sharp guy who’s been around the block a few times and knows how the world works. Throughout the film, they both fill in what’s missing in each other.” He explained.
According to Dan Fogelman, the screenwriter of Tangled, the two directors wanted to tell a classic Disney story in a completely new way that would fit the style of CG animation. This includes adding comedy with 21st-century sensibility in the story to make it more appealing and balance.
Tangled was already released last November in the US and other countries, while in the Philippines it will be released on February 2 inline for Valentines Day offering of Walt Disney here in the country.

Movie Review: Tron Legacy
Twenty years after the Kevin Flynn disappeared, Sam (Hedlund) his son returned to their arcade shop. Accidentally Sam was transported to the grid with the machine that Kevin created. He discovered the creation of his father, including Clu who is now ruling the place while his father hides himself away from him. With Quorra (Wilde) and his father, they will try to stop Clu and return to the human world.
Tron Legacy is better on 3D format because of the “neon” lights that is part of the characters costume. The visual effects and the scoring played a very important role in the movie to strengthen the storyline. Good thing that Disney revisits the 1981 film by putting some footage so that the movie goers who haven’t seen the first movie can see how it was started.
Before I watched the sequel, I had my chance to see the first one, and all I can say that except from the visual effects that changed and improved, the storyline and the conflict remained consistent. Even there was a change the director.
Tron Legacy will be showing in all cinemas nationwide beginning December 18, and during the 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival, SM IMAX will still show the movie, until its return in all cinemas by January 2011. The film is distributed Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Philippines.
