Based on the classic young adult novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, THE SECRET GARDEN has been adapted for film and television a number of times. This version was produced for television by the BBC as seven thirty-minute episodes in 1975. Mary Lennox (Sarah Hollis Andrews) is orphaned when her parents die of cholera in India, and she is sent to live with her aloof, wealthy uncle at his large and ominous mansion. At first lonely and indignant, her life is changed forever when she meets the cousins that also live at the mansion, and enters into a vivid fantasy world when they discover a hidden section of the garden on the mansion's grounds. THE SECRET GARDEN has been a beloved coming-of-age story since its first publication in 1911, and this production has often been praised as the finest adaptation of it.

In this meet-the-parents sequel to the romantic fairy tale in which two ogres fall in love, SHREK 2 brings the loveable 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)--a slyly funny tabby honed for swashbuckling adventure--joins the crew. Last but certainly not least, the conniving duo of vain Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) and his power-hungry mom, the Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders), spice up the action.When Fiona insists that her new husband Shrek visit her parents, they travel to Far Far Away (a Disneyfied medieval version of Hollywood) where everything goes wrong. The King and Queen are outraged to see their daughter married to an ogre, and while Fiona tries to calm them, Shrek sets out to find a solution. He finds it, in the form of a Happily Ever After potion, which only complicates matters, drawing all parties into a confused exchange of magic and spells, all for the sake of true love. With shimmering animation giving SHREK 2 near-3-D visuals, the witty scripting and eclectic pop music soundtrack keep the film hopping along with an upbeat pace.
Holding Out for a Hero
by Frou Frou, and
Livin` la Vida Loca
by Eddie Murphy are the most raucous of the film`s many great songs, though more subtle numbers such as
Accidentally in Love
by Counting Crows, and
Little Drop of Poison
by Tom Waits certainly enrich some key scenes of this enjoyable family film.

MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN: Catchy musical numbers, famous cameos, and a surprise wedding keep this third Muppet movie lively and fun for kids and parents alike. Miss Piggy, whether skating on roller skates borrowed from Gregory Hines, fuming with jealousy, or looking lovely and plump in lavender, steals every scene, while good guy/frog Kermit captures viewers
hearts.When the Muppets come to Broadway to find a producer for their musical, disappointment is the only result. Discouraged, the gang leaves New York and goes its separate ways while Kermit, his dream still alive, continues the search. With the help of a pack of rats who cook at a diner, Kermit signs up an enthusiastic producer and calls his friends back to New York. But when Kermit disappears before the musical opens, the rest of the Muppets have to decide whether the show must go on.Songs about working for one`s dreams and the importance of friendship send upbeat messages to kids, while parents will appreciate the good-humored jabs at the showbiz industry and the cameo appearances by Liza Minnelli, Joan Rivers, and Ed Koch, among many others.MUPPETS FROM SPACE: One of the better Muppet features in recent years, MUPPETS FROM SPACE begins with Gonzo wondering where he came from and then promptly receiving messages from his alien brethren. Though the rest of the Muppet clan believe Gonzo is insane, especially after he announces his revelation on Mrs. Piggy`s talk show, he arouses the interest of an idiotic government official, which leads to his imprisonment. Kermit reluctantly realizes Gonzo is in trouble and brings his fellow Muppets to try and help him escape. This one features a soundtrack made up of mostly 70s funk and introduces a new Muppet--Pepe the prawn, who gets quite a few laughs here.KERMIT`S SWAMP YEARS: What was life like for Kermit the Frog before he became famous and captured the hearts of Muppet-lovers everywhere?

Based on a Japanese manga, this animated series was dubbed into English in 1967, and has gone on to delight three generations of children with the adventures of its heroic title character. An 18-year old racecar driver, Speed is a courageous and intrepid young man who manages to get involved in some dangerous situations, battling bad guys and solving mysteries with the help of a close-knit circle of friends and family. This includes his girlfriend Trixie, a helicopter pilot who often comes to Speed's rescue; his car-engineer Pops and apple-pie mom; his best friend and mechanic, Sparky; and his mysterious older brother, Rex Racer. Comic relief is provided by younger brother Spritle and his pet monkey, Chim Chim.
