4 Minute online video preview of the new Disney Princesses DVD

Enchanted Tales Disney Princess DVDThe new Enchanted Tales DVD comes out next Thursday, 09/04/07. It includes two new original stories. The first featuring Princess Aurora and the second featuring Princess Jasmine. Disney has posted a 4 minute online clip from the DVD for your viewing enjoyment.

I have a pre-release copy of the DVD and can say this isn’t like the previous re-purposed princess DVDs where Disney takes clips from old movies, TV shows and specials and turns them into a compilation. Instead, these are two original hand drawn cartoons that are well done. The songs are catchy and my 4 year old has enjoyed watching them over and over again.As for the special features, I was surprised at how much we enjoyed the DVD games. There are two, one for Aurora and one for Jasmine. There is also a Belle music video from an upcoming Princess DVD.All in all, very well done and highly recommended.

BTW, here is a link to a music video of a song Jasmine sings in her feature.

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End the player will get to play both Dead Mans Chest and At Worlds End. Playable characters are Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan and many of the other characters for a short while such as Barbosa or Mr Gibbs.

Ill start off with the character likeness. Many of the characters are exactly like they are in the films but a few such as Elizabeth and Captain Teague are not. The voices for most of the characters are done very well but everyone would rather the original cast contributed. Nobody would miss out on the comedy they got in the film from Jack Sparrow or the seriousness of Will turner.

The gameplay is the same that you get in games like LOTR and is a bit repetitive and you are limited to moves that you are able to do. Most of the time you will be running around using a sword to attack but side weapons are available such as grenades which are very fun to use if there is an enemy far away and the flintlock pistol is very fun as well and also throwing knives are awesome. There are times where you will have to use a different form of combat against bosses and this is called dueling. The dueling system is entertaining at first but can get a bit boring as its just the same stuff over again.

The graphics are different for the ps2 and ps3 version of course but the ps2 version is very different. Ps3 graphics are reasonable but could have been better because it saught of does look like that they were just crammed in.

The game does stick to the same story lines as in the films but not really events that happen during it. Of course there are the missions such as escaping from the prison at the the beginning of Dead Mans Chest and playing as William to grab the key of Davey Jones but the game lacks what really happened during the film.

This game is a very fun game but is not recommended for those who do not like repetitive games and delivers the experience that you would get in a movie type game. Overall 7/10

Lewis an orphan wants to see what his mother looked like. So he invents a machine that looks through your brain so you can see your memories. But this weird kid says he’s from the future and warns him about a guy in a bowler hat. The bowler hat guy messes with his invention and it fails. He decides that he’s a failure and no one wants him. But the kid that warned him about the guy is here on a mission to find the bowler hat guy that wants to destroy Lewis. To prove he’s from the future he takes lewis to the future. But the time machine breaks and he’s stuck in the future until he fixes it. In the meantime he spends quality time with the family. But the bowler hat guy is about to alter time and it’s up to Lewis to save the future

When an orphaned child genius named Lewis has his science fair project ruined by forces from the future he must join with a strange boy who claims to be from the future to steal his invention back, fix it and save a new found family from a bleak future where mind control devices enslave the masses

Lewis, a 12-year-old genius is a boy who has no luck in being adopted because of his constant ‘quest’ to find his birth mother. When he is struck by an idea after being turned down by a family (for the 126th-literally-time), he invents a memory scanner, a device which scans your cerebral cortex to project your memories onto a screen. Whe this project goes awry at a science fair (really the work of the evil “Bowler Hat Guy” and his robotic hat, “Doris”), Lewis is discouraged. Then, he gets a visit from a boy named Wilbur, who takes him on a wild ride to the future, where he meets Wilbur’s wacky family and gains the courage to “Keep Moving Forward.”

Gary Gentile of the Associated Press brings us an update on the DVD format battle.

People who own an HD DVD player can forget about watching “Spider-Man 3″ in high definition when it goes on sale during the holiday season. The movie from Sony Pictures will only be available in the Blu-ray DVD format. Likewise, people with Blu-ray players won’t be able to enjoy the action-thriller “The Bourne Ultimatum,” which Universal Pictures will release only in HD DVD.

These exclusive arrangements, plus aggressive price cuts for high-def DVD players, are designed to persuade consumers to finally embrace one format or the other.

Looks like they are NOT facing the same fate as the Tower stores. So, you will still have them as an option for buying your Disney media.
