DVD Picks: June 2004


Little late in the month, but hey... July's best are coming to you tomorrow, though.
 

June 1Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles: Trackers, Columbia
Just in time for the release of a live action sequel to the forgettable sci-fi film, this animated take is part of the series Roughnecks, which most consider to be a more truthful adaptation of the classic Starship Troopers novel.

Pokemon: Jirachi Wish Maker, Disney
Odd to see Disney's Miramax, a generally dramatically oriented company be the distributor for this direct-to-video feature, the seventh in the Pokemon series. Want to catch more on this DVD? See DVD News: June 2004.

Winsor McCay: The Master Edition, Image
Not really a kids DVD, its a classic of animation. McCay pioneered the medium, creating Gertie the Dinosaur, the first animated character with an actual identifiable personality.

June 15Braceface: Brace Yourself, funimation
Sharon Spitz (Alicia Silverstone) has brace. But these aren't just your ordinary braces, they've got special powers, which go awry at just the wrong time.

Teacher's Pet, Disney
It's a twist on Pinocchio, as Spot (Nathan Lane) continues on his quest to become a real boy, not just an anthropomorphic dog.

The Simpsons: Season 4, Fox
In this season, Homer starts to become more of a three-dimensional character (as far as that goes), doing more than just constantly strangling Bart. Want to win this boxed set? See DVD News: June 2004.

June 29Garfield as Himself, Fox
With the fat cat 3D and in theatres for a few weeks, this DVD compiles some of the fairly memorable animated specials from the 80s. Pass the lasagna!
