![]() Mighty Machines: Power Pack $19.99 Our 2.5 yr old loves this series. He watched it on Netflix until they took it off instant download. The series is especially good if you are looking to stay away from fast cut videos that has been associated with the lack of attention span in children. Typical scenes pan slowly through the details and talks through each thing that happens. You feel like you are actually taking a leisurely field trip to the site. We adults frequently watch the videos too! ![]() A Mighty Wind $14.98 If you are a fan of folk music from the late 50's/early 60's, (& can appreciate the humor of "This Is Spinal Tap"), then you'll probably love Christopher Guest's knowing & often hilarious take on this, at one time, hugely popular era of our musical culture. But if you're someone who has little or no Kingston Trio, The New Christy Minstrels, (& even Sonny & Cher) in your collection-3 of the groups satirized the most in this film- then you probably won't appreciate much of the humor that Guest throws at you. Having been a huge fan of that genre, though, I found it great fun trying to figure out all the groups that he alluded to throughout the film. But don't get offended if he "roasts" one of your favorites, as in "...Spinal Tap", for there is usually an underlying feeling of Guest's love & respect for those great artists. He just has a rare gift for seeing the humorous side of anyone or anything he puts his mind to writing about. Enjoy! ![]() The Mighty Vol. 1 $17.99 Welcome to the world of The Mighty! Alpha One - America's first and only Super Hero - is supported by Section Omega, an entire police force devoted to assisting him in his quest for justice. Lt. Gabriel Cole has worked his way up the ranks of Section Omega and his connection to Alpha One reaches back to his own tragic childhood and an accident nobody could have survived. But when murder strikes at the top of the organization, the case falls into his lap, and he'll begin to learn what being a hero is really all about! Written by Peter J. Tomasi (FINAL CRISIS: REQUIEM, GREEN LANTERN CORPS) and Keith Champagne (WORLD WAR III) with gorgeous art by Peter Snejbjerg (STARMAN, THE LIGHT BRIGADE), this new ongoing series is not to be missed! ![]() Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures - The Complete Series $45.98 First of all... This is NOT the Mighty Mouse most people are familiar with. It's not the TerryToons Mighty Mouse you can find on any public domain DVD of "50 classic cartoons", nor is it the 70's Filmation Mighty Mouse that was so bad it was funny... This Mighty Mouse IS funny! From the depraved mind of Ralph Bakshi and the animation genius of John Kricfalusi, this cartoon remains to be one of the funniest cartoons of the 80's. It featured a satirical approach to the superhero genre blending wackiness, weirdness and often social parody. This is THE cartoon that was forcibly removed from the airways because an overzealous Kentucky soccer mom accused Mighty Mouse of snorting cocaine (when in reality the morally conscious mouse was simply stopping to smell the flowers). This cartoon is wild! Classic Mighty Mouse characters such as girlfriend Pearl Pureheart and villain Oil Can Harry return, but not quite as we remember them. The series introduces newcomers Bat-Bat (A take on the Dark Knight), Tick the Bug Wonder, The Cow and Petey Pate. The set will include all 19 episodes of the series, and if the Ren & Stimpy box sets are any indication then we can likely expect production art galore and interviews with Ralph, John K. and other writers/animators from the show. From the creators of Ren & Stimpy comes the return of a fantastically funny animated series! Don't Miss it! |
