 Animated
Arnold - 12:30pm
Hoping to spread some yuletide cheer, Paramount will release
two family favorites new and old just in time for the New Year.
Debuting on December 31st is Hey Arnold! The Movie, which
suffered a disappointing theatrical run this past summer but will
likely find a bigger audience on DVD when it arrives on December
31st. The disc includes both anamorphic widescreen and full screen
versions, an interative game, and the trailer. Retail is $29.95.
A week later on January 7th Paramount will release the classic
Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, which also features the
specials "You're In Love, Charlie Brown" and "It's
Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown." Retail is $19.95.
Disney family classics - 12:30pm
More family favorites are on the way for the New Year from Buena
Vista Home Entertainment, who will raid the vaults for five more
classic titles on January 14th: The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides
Again, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, The Horse
in the Gray Flannel Suit, The Absent-Minded Professor,
Gus, and Hayley Mills in The Moon Spinners. (Hey
Disney, how about Freaky Friday already!?) Retail is $19.95 each,
and watch this space for more details on specs and features.
For the older members of the family, Miramax will release four
catalog titles of their own on January 14th, including Ethan
Frome, Summer Fling, Roadracers, The Journey
of August King and the hit foreign import The Visitors.
Each is movie-only, featuring an anamorphic widescreen transfer,
2.0 Dolby surround track, and no extras aside from trailers. Retail
is $32.95.
