Review(s): DVD The Emperor's New Groove - The New Groove Edition
No special sneak peek!
OK, let's just start by saying I LOVE this movie! I know it by heart (boo ya!). Even though I have the original DVD (2001) & 2-set DVD (2001); I wanted to get this 'cause I love the movie and because the trailer said this new DVD had a special 'sneak peek' of Kronk's New Groove. However, this new version of ENG DVD (2005) has the same trailer of Kronk's NG that is in Lilo and Stich 2 and Cinderella - NOT a sneak peek! Still, it's the best movie in the world! If you don't have it--GET IT! (by Order of Kuzco)
Needless and Unnecessary Release!
I am upset about the "New Groove Edtion" of The Emperor's New Groove DVD release.
This is for the most part the same DVD as the previous released.
Down to the content and even the menus.
The only thing really new is 2 more deleted scenes.
I thought I would get an upgraded release of the film (hinst the name "New Groove Edition")
However it is the same old same old.
I am totally upset about this situation.
I can not return DVD's to the store because the DVD is opened.
The only way I could know this was not what I wanted was to open the DVD.
As a customer what do you do when the stores have a no return policy on open DVD's.
Total Disappointment!
Also Beware of the new "Special Edition" of Tarzan for it is not a 2-Disc DVD as advertised on trailer previews.
Another Release?????
Okay, its a good movie....but don't buy it again!!!!! The movie studios should be ashamed of themselves. The only way to stop releasing, re-releasing then renaming and releasing again is NOT TO BUY.

After viewing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote to Walt Disney about adapting his novel of an ape-man into a feature animated cartoon. Sixtysome years later, the tale is finally told with brilliant design work that looks unlike any previous animated film. The story is a natural for Disney since the themes of misunderstood central figures have been at the heart of its recent hits. Disney's Tarzan doesn't wander far from the familiar story of a shipwrecked baby who is brought up by apes in Africa. What gives the film its zing is its clever use of music (the songs are sung by Phil Collins himself rather than onscreen characters) and the remarkable animation. Deep Canvas, a 3-D technology, was developed for the film, creating a jungle that comes alive...

Worry not, Disney fans--this special edition DVD of the beloved Cinderella won't turn into a pumpkin at the strike of midnight. One of the most enduring animated films of all time, the Disney-fied adaptation of the gory Brothers Grimm fairy tale became a classic in its own right, thanks to some memorable tunes (including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," and the title song) and some endearingly cute comic relief.
There is greatness in film that can be discussed, dissected, and talked about late into the night. Then there is genius that is right in front of our faces--we smile at the spell it puts us into and are refreshed, and nary a word needs to be spoken. This kind of entertainment is what they used to call "movie magic," and there is loads of it in this irresistible computer animation feature. Just a picture of these bright toys reawaken the kid in us. Filmmaker John Lasseter thinks of himself as a storyteller first and an animator second, much like another film innovator, Walt Disney.
The 10th anniversary edition of the landmark film repackages most of the extras found in the original Ultimate Toy Box set plus a few more. Two keen retrospectives are new, one with an assortment of... More Info about this DVD Director(s): John Lasseter DVD Release Date: Released the 06 September 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

The penguins steal the show. In the sprightly Madagascar, a mid-life crisis inspires Marty the Zebra (voiced by Chris Rock) to escape from his lifelong home, a New York zoo. His equally pampered friends--Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer)--then escape to bring him back. Unfortunately, their attempt at damage control persuades zoo officials that the animals are unhappy, so all four get shipped to an animal preserve in Kenya...only a squad of maniacal penguins change the destination to Antarctica. The quartet end up on an island where, in addition to meeting some hedonistic lemurs, they learn about the food chain--and that Alex is a different link on the chain from the other three. Madagascar doesn't...

The delightful designs of William Joyce (writer/illustrator of such popular children's books as George Shrinks and Bently & Egg) make Robots a joy to behold. The round, bouncy, and ramshackle forms of hero Rodney Copperbottom and his computer-animated friends are part of an ornate and daffy
