Review Tweenies - Song Time Is Fab-A-Rooney [1999] / BBC:Hey, hey, are you ready to sing? The Tweenies are, in Song Time is Fab-a-Rooney, another entertaining and educational video from the BBC characters. The video is split into five different sections, each with a theme which unifies the songs, such as "Let's Pretend", "Counting Fun" or "Song Time Favourites". The "Copy Me" section is particularly entertaining, containing a rendition of "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" that neither you nor your toddler will forget in a hurry. From traditional tunes such as "How Much Is that Doggie in the Window?" to more contemporary songs, such as "Monster Nosh", there's plenty to keep children (one to five) amused. Plenty of movement, action, and singing, as well as favourite characters Bella, Milo, Jake, Fizz and, of course, Doodles the Dog, will give little legs, arms and lungs a good work-out, while the educational element of the activities will encourage number-recognition and counting, co-ordination and memory skills, as well as creativity, imaginative play and musical skills. No wonder toddlers are tired by the time the 25 songs are over. With the Tweenies, song time really is "fab-a-rooney", and as an entertainment and educational tool, the video represents money you will never regret spending. -Lucie Naylor.

Review Spy Kids [2001] / Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainm:Spy Kids is a James Bond adventure for wee ones, with all the trimmings. This affable fantasy begins with Carmen and Juni Cortez soon to find out that their favourite bedtime story, "The Spies Who Fell in Love", is really the story of their parents. When Dad and Mom (Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino) mess up their first mission after coming out of retirement, their kids must come to the rescue, equipped with some cool gadgets. The Cortez family gets involved in a bizarre plot hatched by a Pee-wee Herman-type entertainer named Fegan Floop (a wonderfully hammy Alan Cumming) that's as giddy as it is ridiculous. Needless to say there is plenty of derring-do concerning long-lost uncles, goofy monsters, double agents, evil robots, look-alikes, and energised chases. Did we mention the gadgets? Although Banderas and Gugino make terrific impressions, the movie is carried (as it should be) by the younger Cortezes, winningly played by Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara. Who would have thought an action/horror studio (Dimension) and writer-director Robert Rodriquez had this pleasing family film u p their sleeves? Rodriquez (who produced with his wife Elizabeth Avellán) seemed to be mired in cheesy horror films but here breaks out by capitalising on the talent that gave him instant status with his debut, El Mariachi (1992). Spy Kids has plenty of verve but never swerves into potty humour (OK, there is one good potty joke) or wicked gunplay. All 7-year-olds should have a film as fun as this in their film-going lives. -Doug Thomas, Amazon. [+]

Review Labyrinth [1986] / 4 Front Video:Sarah (a teenage Jennifer Connelly) rehearses the role of a fairy-tale queen, performing for her stuffed animals. She is about to discover that the time has come to leave her childhood behind. In real life she has to baby-sit her brother and contend with parents who don't understand her at all. Her petulance leads her to call the goblins to take the baby away, but when they actually do, she realises her responsibility to rescue him. Sarah negotiates the Labyrinth to reach the City of the Goblins and the castle of their king. The king is the only other human in the film and is played by a glam-rocking David Bowie, who performs five of his songs. The rest of the cast are puppets, a wonderful array of Jim Henson's imaginative masterpieces. Henson gives credit to children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, and the creatures in the movie will remind Sendak fans of his drawings. The castle of the king is a living MC Escher set that adults will enjoy. The film combines the highest standards of art, costume, and set decoration. [+]
Like executive producer George Lucas's other fantasies, Labyrinth mixes adventure with lessons about growing up. -Lloyd Chesley There are only two human actors in Jim Henson's Labyrinth: a teenage Jennifer Connelly and glam-rocker David Bowie (who performs five of his songs).

Henson gives credit to children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, and the creatures in the movie will remind Sendak fans of his drawings, while the castle of the Goblin King (Bowie) is a living MC Escher set that adults will enjoy.
