Code 1

Clangers

 Code 2
On a planet far away live little creatures. They look like pink stuffed toys that have been modeled on biped Ant Eaters. In fact they don't eat ants, they eat soup. The soup is produced by a dragon which lives beneath the planet's surface. Although the Clangers communicate using a sound which resembles a fuzzy whistle, you will understand everything they say, regardless of your mother tongue.
     
Code 1

Batman

 Code 2
This is the movie spin off from the 1960s US television series, starring Adam West and Burt Ward. The highlights include the theme tune, the Batmobile and a life threatening battle with a rubber shark. Many of Batman's old enemies are featured, though there is at least one notable eggsception. If you wondered what Adam and Burt look like 35 years after making the movie, then this DVD includes interviews with them.
     
Code 1

Thunderbirds are Go

 Code 2
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's most famous science fiction puppet show of the 1960s. Similar enjoyment can be derived from the television episodes or the full length cinema movie. Of course we should not forget to mention the great Thunderbirds theme tune.
     
Code 1

Doctor Who

 Code 2
Do you like the Daleks? I think Doctor Who without Daleks is like a pen without ink. The 1960s movies starred Peter Cushing as the Doctor and loads of nicely coloured Daleks. The TV episodes have starred numerous Doctors. The last time I checked, both the movie and TV versions were available in both the US and UK.
     
Code 1

a Bug's Life

 Code 2
The movie of a Bug's Life came out very shortly after the movie Ants. The stories and major players in both movies are very similar. I like both movies very much, both of which were at the pinnacle of CGI use at the time. Adults might prefer the slightly darker atmosphere of Ants, while children may prefer the brighter colours of a Bug's Life.
     
Code 1

Finding Nemo

 Code 2
CGI goes underwater in Finding Nemo. A fine colourful, moving and inspiring story. Later came another movie called a Shark Tale. As always it is fascinating to admire the technology used, but as a story I prefer Finding Nemo.
     
Code 1

The Incredibles

 Code 2
Mr. Incredible is a super hero (who has passed his prime), whose whole family are endowed with different super powers. Like Monster's Inc. and Shrek this movie is good for observing how CGI can deal with hair. When a villain appears who threatens Mr. Incredible, his family and many others, Mr. Incredible works out, gets fit and with his family takes on the evil one.
     
Code 1

Harry Potter

 Code 2
I enjoyed all the Harry Potter movies made so far. As always it is difficult for sequels to have the same impact as the first in the series. In this case however if you buy the first movie, you will most likely buy all the others, since they follow the development of all the main characters at Hogwarts. Missing out on one would be like skipping out a couple of chapters in a book.
