Usually ships in 9 to 12 days IPhone 3G used's review (A bit of a disappointment) 『After an incredible debut with "The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe," I was a bit disappointed by this movie from the Narnia series. The movie doesn't stick very well to some parts of the book, obviously to flash it up for hollywood. The movie also lasts an astounding 144 minutes- way longer than it should have. It tends to drag on, and I found myself longing for the credits. It's a good story for the kids, provided they can sit through the over 2 hour movie. It does promote good values of honor and loyalty, as true to the Narnia series.』
(Excellent Film Made by People Who Love the Narnia Books) 『This is an excellent film based on one of the more difficult C.S. Lewis Narnia books to translate to film. I understand how many fans of the Narnia books could be disappointed with the film. There were alterations to the storyline. However, when you read the book, you have to realize that it wouldn't translate well to film if presented as written on the page. The narration jumps back and forth and as a film it would have been too confusing. I have read all of the Narnia books and of all seven in the series, Prince Caspian is my least favorite. That is not because it isn't a good book. It stands on its own merits as a good book, but not as engaging as some of the others in the series.
This film did not do as well at the box office as the first film (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe). However, it still qualifies as a smashing success and will pave the way for the next book to be filmed.
Individuals may be unaware that C.S. Lewis' stepson Douglas Gresham is intimately involved in the production of the Narnia films. The scripts must meet his approval before they go before the camera. This film had his blessings. He is very passionate about preserving the integrity of the books. He agreed that to do the basic story justice as a film the plot had to be altered so the story could be told in a linear fashion.
A lot of talented people were involved in the making of Prince Caspian, many of whom are passionate fans of the series. The results are an epic, beautiful film that stands on its own. The acting, production, music and special effects all work together to make a film that will be loved for ages to come.
If these films continue to do well at the box-office, the producers have promised to try and make all seven books into films. Some will be more difficult than others. Prince Caspian made over $500 million in worldwide box-office revenues, and in the next few months filming will begin on the next in the series: The Voyage of the Dawntreader. That book is one of my favorites of the Narnia books. It will be directed by Michael Apted. Here's to hoping that film will have even better box office success so that other books in the series can be brought to life at the cinema.』
(Very disappointing) 『I thoroughly enjoyed the first Narnia movie in fact I own it. Prince Caspian was nothing short of boring to me&my husband. It was far removed from the book, just a glimpse of Aslan&numerous senseless battle scenes. The Ice Queen got my attention but for just as long as she was on the screen.』
(Shades of Lord of the Rings) 『While the first movie in this series ran fairly true to the book, this movie was a big jump away, seeming more like a children's Lord of the Rings. Much, much darker than the book, filled with angst-ridden teens (not in the book), an Aslan who is conspicuous by his absence for most of the movie (also not in the book), an unlikely battle (which was not in the book) which left a foolish, hot-headed Peter having to strand Narnians inside the castle to be slaughtered (as if the real Peter would have done that!), dour dwarves (who in the book were cheerful and cheeky). . .the list goes on. Probably the most admirable characters are Edmund and Lucy. The others just tend to fight amongst themselves a lot (although Peter's fight scene with Miraz is pretty cool :^)).
That said, it's not actually a bad movie. It's clean, with no swearing or sex scenes/innuendoes, and if there are a lot of battles, at least there's hardly any blood. If you haven't read the book--or maybe just don't care whether it follows the book or not--then you will probably enjoy this movie.』
(Prince Caspian Was Good and Bad) 『I loved The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and when I found out they were coming out with Prince Caspian, I was sooooo excited. When I went to see it on my birthday with my friends, I had mixed feelings. I thought it was a very good movie. I was a little disappointed. It wasn't very true to the book. Like the Raid on the Castle was never in the book (i still liked that part though). There was a lot of battle too, it wasn't bloody, but it felt like in the last 2/3 of the movie it was constant battle. I was a little disappointed they didn't focus much on Lucy and Aslan and the whole believing thing. The biggest disappointment to me was Susan and Caspian. They never fell in love in the book. I wouldn't have mind too much if they didn't make them kiss! That was a disappointment. But other than that i really love the movie. I do recommend that young children under 6 or 7 don't watch it in the movies. I'm mature for my age and it was still a little hard for me to watch the scene where the white witch comes back. There may be some parts you will want to skip for the little ones. Very amazing actors and actresses. I absolutely love Georgie Henley's acting. Almost everyone I know thinks Ben Barnes is very good looking. I love this movie and it is definitely going into my collection.
Huge fan of Narnia and 11 years old』 『The magical world of C.S. Lewis beloved fantasy comes to life once again inPrince Caspian, the second installment ofThe Chronicles Of Narniaseries. Join Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy, the mighty and majestic Aslan, friendly new Narnian creatures and Prince Caspian as they lead the Narnians on a remarkable journey to restore peace and glory to their enchanted land. Continuing the adventure ofThe Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobewith more magic and a brand-new hero,Prince Caspianis a triumph of imagination, courage, love, joy and humor your whole family will want to watch again and again.』 『More exciting than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspiancontinues the movie franchise based on C.S. Lewis' classic fantasy books. The movie picks up where the first left off... sort of. It's been a year since the Pevensie children--Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)--returned to England from Narnia, and they've just about resigned themselves to living their ordinary lives. But just like that, they're once again transported to a fantastical land, but one with a long-abandoned castle. It turns out that they are in Narnia again--and they themselves lived in that castle, but hundreds of years ago in Narnia time. They've been summoned back to help Prince Caspian (Stardust's Ben Barnes, resembling a young, cultured Keanu Reeves), the rightful heir to the throne who's become the target of his power-hungry uncle, King Mraz (Sergio Castellitto). And he's not the only one threatened: Mraz's people, the Telmarines, have pushed all the Narnians--the talking animals, the centaurs and other beasts, the walking trees--to the brink of extinction. Despite some alpha-male bickering, Peter and Caspian agree to fight Mraz alongside the remaining Narnians, including the dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Eddie Izzard). (Also appearing is Warwick Davis, who was in Willow and the 1989 BBC Prince Caspian.) But of course they most of all miss the noble lion, Aslan, who would have never let this happen to Narnia if he hadn't disappeared. Prince Caspian is epic, evoking memories of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. (Some of the battle elements may seem too familiar, but they were in Lewis's book.) And it's appropriate for kids (Reepicheep could have come out of a Shrek movie), though the tone is dark and there is a lot of death, albeit bloodless. After two successful films, Disney and Walden Media's franchise has proved successful enough that many of the characters are scheduled to return in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. --David Horiuchi

It even rivals Pixar in top notch quality, humor, and re-watch value. Jack Black does a superb job as Po and the other big name actors do a fine job lending their voices to the other characters. An absolute must-see for anybody who's a fan of Kung Fu, Jack Black, Pandas, or just plain humor!』
(Movie was GREAT; AMAZON was the problem!!) 『Sorry for giving this movie a 1 STAR..but if you understood the situation you would have to agree with me! I ordered the regular version on November 3rd..and received the DVD and 1 book TODAY. I do not recommend using super saver shipping if you plan to give your item as a gift! I never had a problem with the regular shipping before..BUT I was really disappointed that my first order was LOST in the mail! I was wondering why my item never arrived after almost 2.5 weeks..and I had to contact customer service. They said my item was lost in the mail and they shipped out a new order AFTER I had to contact them again to see why they haven't shipped my item (they finally shipped after 3 days of re-contacting them!). I explained that my daughter's birthday was the 30th..and the two items were gifts. Customer service shipped my item out on 2 day. It was a little too late..and the DVD case came cut up on the crease!

(Kung Fu Panda Blu-Ray) 『Kung Fu Panda [Blu-ray] KUNG FU PANDA IS WONDERFUL, EXCITING, SPELLBINDING, INCREDIBLE, CHARMING, ADORABLE, AWESOME AND ON BLU-RAY IT IS SIMPLE MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!』
(Crowd pleaser) 『Fantastic audio/video support an excellent movie on Blu-ray. Plenty to enjoy for both young and old alike. Although the Blu-ray does not contain 'Secrets of the Furious Five'; if you have seen this short story you are not missing anything engrossing.』
(Incredibly average) 『Just sat through this with my kids. Great picture and sound - lame movie, for kids and adults. Same predictable story line, seems like a half effort. Jack Black bores the crap out me. You never get the feeling this is anything more than celebrities voicing another underwhelming animation. Save your time and see Toy Story, Cars, The Incredibles or Finding Nemo again.』 『Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 11/07/2008 Run time: 88 minutes Rating: Pg』 『What's a panda to do when his dreams of kung-fu awesomeness awake to the cold reality of noodle-making? Clumsy, overweight Po (Jack Black) dreams of becoming a kung fu master like China's revered "furious five," but instead seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in the restaurant business. When great leader Oogway has a vision that the imprisoned kung fu warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane) will soon escape, he declares it time to choose China's dragon warrior--one kung fu master deemed worthy of possessing the dragon's scroll and its secret to limitless power. Po and all the townspeople rush to the Jade Palace atop the highest mountain to witness the contest between Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogan), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu), but Po is locked outside the palace. After a miracle of sorts, Po lands inside the palace gates, where he is chosen as the dragon warrior and placed under the tutelage of the decidedly non-plussed master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman). An unconventional student to say the least, hilarity reigns as Shifu tries desperately to make Po into some semblance of a kung fu warrior. Can Po possibly fulfill his destiny as dragon warrior, or was Oogway's final decision a critical mistake? A film rich with hilarious moments, superior animation, and an important message about believing in oneself and the power that comes from within,Kung Fu Pandais great entertainment that will have the whole family laughing and begging for more.

Usually ships in 3 to 4 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Old graphics but the kids love it..) 『I bought this video over eight years ago for my niece. Now my kids are enjoying it. It is basic but that is just the way it should be sometimes.』
(My boys can't get enough of this video!) 『I have two young boys, ages 2 and 3 1/2. I picked this video up since they are very in to colors and shapes and I wanted my older son to slow down when counting. They LOVE this video and can't get enough of it! It's great for both kids because the beginning is more basic and the ending advanced shapes section is more appropriate for my gifted older son. He likes to walk around the house telling me things like, "Mommy, a trapezoid is a triangle with the top cut off" and "A nonagon is a shape with nine sides." Buy this one for your kids!』
(Good Edutainment Video--rocknlearn colors shapes, counting) 『Okay, we got this video and I thought it was awful, but what do I, as an adult, know!?! The kids (girl 4 and boy 2) loved it. AND after awhile it started to grow on me too.
Most importantly it accomplished its mission. My youngest who had previously shown no interest in colors and shapes --other than to jump and slide on them-- now knows his stuff. Not just circles and squares but octagons and hexagons too. In addition, it teaches how colors can be mixed to produce new colors.
Not the slickest graphics, but I definitely recommend this for action oriented learners who will sit still long enough for a video.』
(Rock 'N Learn Rocks) 『I bought this video for my 2 year, 3 month old grandson and he absolutely loves it. I was amazed that he responded to it the way he did. When I ask him what he wants to watch the answer 9 times out of 10 is "color&shapes". Not only has he mastered almost all of the material on the tape he just loves to watch it over and over. We were putting his puzzles away the other day and there was a shape puzzle we were cleaning up. I was trying to put a pentagon shape in the wrong space and my grandson said, "no mom-mom, red octagon". He was right, I was flabbergasted. He's not even 2 1/2 yet!! I'm on line tonight to buy another Rock 'N Learn tape.』
(A Must) 『We bought this video along with 3 other VHS tapes of the same company (Nursery Rhymes, Letter Sounds, Alphabet) when my Daughter was 21 months old. Even before turning 2, she started identifying some of the shapes, though she can't pronounce them well (retatangle, tiangle, okkagon etc) and she can identify and say red, yellow, blue, green, orange, white, black, brown, purple and pink.
She watched it numerous times a day. With this tape on, feeding time is so easy and quick.』
『Here is the perfect way to get your child ready for starting school. Young learners will enjoy all of the kindergarten readiness activities, including learning to count objects by color, shape, or a combination of both. Even gifted children will be challenged by advanced colors (maroon, turquoise) and shapes (polygons, ellipses).』
