The Wild, the latest animated release from Walt Disney Pictures, opens in over 2,800 theaters today. It doesn't take more than a trailer viewing to draw obvious comparisons to Pixar's Finding Nemo and, even more so, DreamWorks' Madagascar. Almost every one of the CGI jungle-to-jungle comedy's largely negative reviews does just that. The film marks the feature-length debut for Toronto-based C.O.R.E. Feature Animation, whose visuals are being boasted as photorealistic. Check out our preview for links to trailers, the official website, and tie-in merchandise, plus more information.

April 13, 2006 - This Tuesday, after forty years in animated movies and eighty years in print, Winnie the Pooh received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It wasn't pure coincidence that the Bear of Very Little Brain's 1997 direct-to-video film Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin made its DVD debut the same day. Tonight, we have a review of this so-called Special Edition here. The film clearly predates Disney's preschool-ization of Pooh and holds up rather well for being one of the studio's earliest DTV forays. It's not perfect or on par with the studio's best Pooh fare, but Grand Adventure delivers plenty of fun. Its widescreen transfer turns out to be a minor issue, as picture is mostly great and sound is top-notch. The bonuses are mostly nothing, with the exception of the Oscar-winning short Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, probably the biggest highlight of the bear's career. Read our full review for complete coverage of this recent release.
April 12, 2006 - In a departure from tradition, BVHE has stated that there is no Collector's Gift Set currently planned for this fall's Platinum Edition title, The Little Mermaid. The past three Octobers, Disney animated classics have simultaneously made their DVD debuts in standalone 2-disc Platinum Editions and as part of deluxe gift sets, containing a hardcover book, signed concept art of characters, and a film frame and carrying a $49.99 list price. As Mermaid's much-anticipated return to DVD remains just under six months away, plans still could change. As usual, the most effective way to have your feedback reach the studio is by calling their customer hotline (1-800-723-4763) or e-mailing [email protected].
