James and the Giant Peach (Walt Disney Pictures Presents) [VHS] $6.94 Roald Dahl’s modern classic for children becomes a delightful combination of live action and stop-motion animation by the team that made The Nightmare Before Christmas: director Henry Selick and producers Tim Burton (Batman) and Denise Di Novi.

VeggieTales – Esther, The Girl Who Became Queen [VHS] $4.75 A lonely trumpet solo and a narrator sporting a Jersey accent set a somewhat ominous, Godfather-esque stage for this stylish, 35-minute lesson about courage.

The Adventures of Milo and Otis $3.15 Japanese filmmaker Masanori Hata made this above-average family film about a dog and a cat–friends with a tendency to make mischief–who go on an unanticipated adventure when one is rushed downriver and the other follows. Hata, who took four years to complete the work, relies on purely cinematic storytelling techniques (these animals don’t have human voices on the soundtrack), making the film an … |

The Tale of Despereaux $3.32 The Tale of Despereaux looks a little like Shrek. The storytelling and animation draw on everything from Ratatouille and classic fairytales to Shakespeare, Jonathan Swift, Indiana Jones, and, in its action sequences, even Bourne and Bond. But this movie stands on its own; too dark and violent for very young children, perhaps, but for the most part it’s exciting and funny, and it delivers a m… |
