slycatGot a pair of DVDs in the mail today. I've not bought any in quite some time now as other members of the house buy films I like, so I don't have to.
The first of which is the new Chemical Brothers Singles 93-03 DVD. There wasn't much point in my buying the album of the same name as I own all the albums with the singles on already. On the disc is a collection of all (I think) of their singles, including the new single The Golden Path. There's also a selection of singles taken from their various live events as well as interviews and further info about the singles. Quite a nice package if I do say so myself. One feature which prooved partularily interesting was director Michel Gondry drawing out the plan for the video, Star Guitar. Has to be seen to be understood really.
However, the second DVD was less than impressive. It was the new Stitch! The Movie, the straight to video followup to the excellent Lilo and Stitch. Now, I loved the original but also knew about how second rate their straight to video sequals are. However, I purchased it anyway, mostly out of curiousity but was rather diappointed with the outcome. To say the highlight of the DVD was the new trailer to Finding Nemo gives you some idea of what I thought of the disc.
Right, the film was poorly drawn and animated, the story was rather weak and poorly executed, the jokes used weren't funny and they missed out on many a perfect oppertunity for a laugh (I never laughed once during watching the film), it had a poor soundtrack compared with the original and they copied scenes of animation throughout the film. Generally, it reeked of being a blatant cashin while being made with the budget of 3p. I was very disappointed to say the least considering what they could have done with it. A real shame, one DVD that I'll be eBaying promptly.
I just found out that the ending of the film is the start of the new TV series where Lilo and Stitch have different adventures every week in pursuit of all of the 625 remaining experiments. Sound like Pokemon anyone? The film might just as well have been a pilot to the series. They might as well have split it into two (it's only an hour long) and have it as a proper introduction to the series. I'm assuming that the quality of animation in the series will be the same as that of the movie anyway.
