Review Maisy's Fun In The Sun Beach Bag / Universal Pictures UK:With the Fun in the Sun Beach Bag, Maisy turns her attention to safe summer fun. The lightweight, see-through rucksack is perfect for collecting pebbles, shells and any other vital souvenirs from a day on the beach. However, it's made of plastic and has straps so is not suitable for children under the age of three. The beach bag contains lipscreen, a simple cotton hat and sunglasses-more for fashion than protection-as well as Maisy's video: Fun in the Sun. The nine animated tales on the video each centre around a particular theme, loosely connected by the idea of having Fun in the Sun. The combination of bright colours and simple construction with jolly music and Pingu-style language, captures young imaginations, while Neil Morrissey once again provides the narration, gently guiding young viewers through the activities on screen and emphasising the educational aspects of each story. The Episodes: Beach shows Maisy arriving at the seaside-fully protected against the harmful effects of the sun in her hat, sunglasses and sun cream-to enjoy a day in the sun with her friends. In Hello preschoolers learn the noises that different animals make, while the friends don different headwear in Hats. Maisy gives Charley a birthday present in Umbrella, and Cyril has a slight accident in Oops. Maisy flies her plane and counts from one to 10 in Sky and Cyril catches a cold in Sneezes. [+]
Knock Knock finds Maisy looking for her friends and they have fun together in Feather. Roller Skates sees Maisy and Tallulah playing in the park. The video, Fun in the Sun, is also available on its own. -Helen Baker.

Review Action Man - Vol. 1 - The Call To Action / Walt Disney Home Video:Action Man, the Call to Action comprises over an hour of non-stop exertion featuring the square-jawed hero with the over-developed pecs. This well-animated film is great entertainment and, although the storyline and dialogue may not be terribly original, it has everything a "Team Xtreme" fan could wish for: gadgets, extreme sport and non-stop action. There is also a proper baddy with a proper baddy's name, Dr. X, and a strong tendency for good to triumph over evil. The action starts immediately with Action Man, Alex Mann, head-to-head with his best friend and rival, Brandon Caine, racing across the rooftops of Paris. Brandon brings the "buddy" element to the story and acts as the catalyst for adventure when he falls into the clutches of the evil doctor. Frankly, Brandon is not very likeable-even before he's been "adapted" by Dr. X-and it's hard to see why Alex and his team, a rag-tag posse of assorted personalities, bother to try and free him. Fortunately they do, enabling Alex to test the AMP Factor, the recently discovered mental ability that allows him to consider every possibility in a flash and perform impossible escapes. This special feature-length episode is followed by a shorter story, Grey Areas in which Alex learns more about the AMP Factor and encounters a beautiful assassin. [+]
The scene is set for further adventures and volume two, Action Man, Storm Front is also available. This video contains some violence, hence the PG classification, but should be suitable for most children aged eight and over. -Helen Baker.
