Theatrical release: August 19, 2005From Disney and the producer of SHREK and SHREK II comes this animated feel-good comedy about a small but heroic British homing pigeon during World War II. Though tiny, Valiant (Ewan McGregor) is gutsy, and he yearns to join the Royal Homing Pigeon Service to serve his country during its time of need, hoping to prove that what he lacks in wingspan he makes up for in spirit. Accepted into training, Valiant faces some ribbing by the other members of RHPS and is placed into Squad F, along with a host of other misfit heroes. However, with troops trapped behind enemy lines and a flurry of attacks by enemy falcons (led by General Von Talon, voiced by Tim Curry), it`s up to Valiant and his comrades to save the day.Notably, VALIANT is based on a true story, as more than half of all medals awarded to animal war heroes went to homing pigeons. Children will appreciate this heartwarming tale of brains over brawn, and adult viewers will appreciate the film`s voice cast, which features a wealth of British stars that also includes Jim Broadbent, John Cleese, and THE OFFICE`s Ricky Gervais. Similar to other films that use humor to address the turbulence of war, such as HOPE AND GLORY, TEA WITH MUSSOLINI, and LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, VALIANT provides a classic tale of hope and heroism for all ages.

This animated Bat-tale features a unique twist on the legend of the Caped Crusader. While attempting to thwart the usual array of deviant evildoers such as Penguin and the Joker, Batman suddenly finds himself face to face with a villain who has a penchant for blood and an aversion to garlic--yes, it`s Dracula! As the citizens of Gotham City slowly and unwittingly succumb to the Count`s unfortunately persuasive ways, Batman has to fight off this new menace while also returning the newly-bloodthirsty Gothamites back to their old eating habits.

The made-for-video children's series VEGGIETALES stars adorable, computer-animated vegetables in family-friendly stories that foster Christian values and morality. One of the most beloved VEGGIETALES characters is the cucumber LarryBoy, a mild-mannered janitor who transforms into a plunger-clad superhero to save the residents of Bumblyburg. This collection includes two classic LarryBoy adventures: LARRYBOY& THE FIB FROM OUTER SPACE (1997), in which a little white lie ends up causing big trouble; and LARRYBOY& THE RUMOR WEED (1999), an important lesson about the power of gossip. The volume also features DAVE& THE GIANT PICKLE (1996), a retelling of the Biblical story of David and Goliath; as well as four LarryBoy cartoons rendered in traditional line-drawn animation.

This double feature contains two animated films sure to please the whole family. MADAGASCAR: The friendship between a New York City lion and zebra is tested when fate brings them out to the unforgiving wilderness in this computer-animated DreamWorks feature. Chris Rock does the voice of Marty the Zebra, whose longing to explore beyond his cushy Central Park Zoo boundaries is the impetus that ultimately strands him and his pals on the shores of savage Madagascar. Marty loves the new, edible scenery, but his best friend Alex the Lion (voiced by Ben Stiller) begins to starve since his diet of thick steaks has been cut off, and the rump of his friend starts to look mighty tasty. Their other friends, a hypochondriac giraffe (David Schwimmer) and a sassy hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), try their best to think of a solution as the call of the wild slowly turns the starving Alex into Marty`s worst nightmare. Meanwhile the hilariously self-aggrandizing King of the Ocelots (Sacha Cohen) has a plan to use Marty to repel his own carnivore problem. This kid-oriented comedy stays adult-friendly every step of the way, thanks to a clever script that mixes New York humor and even some existentialism with the pratfalls and spit-takes. Jolts of comedic brilliance are supplied by some Arctic-bound escaped-con penguins and a couple of literary apes. It`s not a musical, but classic songs from the likes of Louis Armstrong and Sammy Davis, Jr., keep the montages flowing loose and sassy.SHREK 2: In this meet-the-parents sequel to the romantic fairy tale in which two ogres fall in love, SHREK 2 brings the lovable green menace (voiced by Mike Meyers) back to the big screen for a second round of mischief. This time around, in addition to the voices of Cameron Diaz (as Shrek`s sweetheart, Fiona) and Eddie Murphy (as their companion, Donkey), Julie Andrews and John Cleese chime in as Fiona`s parents, Queen Lillian and King Harold. Surprising newcomer Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas)-
