Boy geniuses, caped crusaders, capsized millionaires, elephant
kings, killer whales, men of steel, trains, witches, wooden boys, horses
in grey flannel suits, and computers wearing tennis shoes all illuminate
TV screens starting February 3rd, 2004.
The following list is of kids-oriented DVD releases, ranging from "best
of" or original episodes on DVD, to whole series on DVD, original TV movies,
original direct-to-DVD movies. Some are completely plot based, some are
fun how-to guides. Some are animated, some are live action. Some titles
you may of heard of, some you won't have.
Many of the DVDs have descriptions, some don't. This is simply based
on what titles I know about, based on track records from a series or production
company, some are simply plot overviews; a word of advice to be gathered
from that, just because I describe it, doesn't mean I recommend it, and
just because I don't describe, doesn't mean I don't recommend it. While
I offer some insight into these titles, a quick Google search will come
up with more information on any of these. Amazon.com
is a great source for info, and fellow parents' opinion.
And if you do indeed buy, rent, or elsewise view any of these titles,
send in your comments to me! I'd love to hear what you have to say.

former, teen heartthrob Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars as the splintered
kid.
Neat fact, the movie was one of the first movies released on DVDs, when
the digital recording medium was in its infantcy; thus, many computer stores
wanting to tout the fancy new disk drives played this movie on their in-store
machines.
