Besides the fact that there are missing scenes like the Muppet Babies scene and fozzy with the snowman... I can't help but give this dvd 5 stars... I've had it for 4 years now and I've watched it around 500 times... I usually start watching the muppet christmas movies in August all the way up to January... Hopefully Disney will rerelease this classic with all of the original scenes in it... I'm not sure why the scenes were cut, makes no sense to me... but still my favorite movie of all time... Everybody must watch this at least 10 times a year

In this film Disney dishes out two more stories that are very charming. In feature one you meet lovesick Bongo the Bear, and in the second feature Mickey fills Jack's shoes and climbs the beanstalk with Donald and Goofy behind him. The animation is good, and the music is great. A definate must see. I reccomend this film.

Sidney Poitier had three films released in 1967, in my opinion this was the best of them. "In the Heat of the Night" might have been more socially relevant when seen today, and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" might have been more conventionally entertaining, but "To Sir, With Love" was to me more intelligent, sensitive and emotional that the other two. I am amazed that Sidney was not nominated for the Oscar in 1967, but given his performances in all three films, it's obvious the voters were torn. Sidney Poitier had a year in 1967 that, due to the length of time it takes to make a film these days, may not be repeated now, that is 3 starring roles in three extremely profitable films which does not happen that quite often.

That said and done, I would like to say that is a film is excellent. Poitier gives an outstanding performance as Thackeray, the new school teacher, and the kids, for the most part, were really from the East End. Aided by an excellent supporting cast including Judy Geeson as Lulu which I believe, is Scottish; and Michael Des Barres "Gypsy," the kid with the ubiquitous sunglasses -- is of French aristocracy/English descent; otherwise, what you're seeing is what you get: kids from the East End.

True, the script and some of the cinematography are dated, but what do you expect? The film was made towards the end 1966 and released in 1967; in many ways, it was ahead of itself. The main point, however, is not cinematic technique but character development and storyline. "To Sir, With Love" does portray strong characters, and does develop in a logical, positive way resulting it to be an excellent film.

I just received this video and was very pleased with its condition. For Only $2.00 it was in great investment and I know that my children will love it during the holiday season.

When Darien's/Tuxedo Mask's lost friend, Fiore, resurfaces, trouble abounds and it's up to the Sailor Scouts to come to the rescue.

To make matters worse, Fiore kidnaps Darien. He is also responsible for the massive meteor/flower-planet that's on a collision course for Earth.

Testing the bonds of friendship and reaching deep inside to find their inner strengths, the Sailor Scouts must come together to thwart the threat before it's too late.

The story's straight forward, basically a bad guy coming to get his friend back but causes trouble because he's under the influence of an evil flower so Sailor Moon and the gang need to stop him. But the simplicity works for the film.

This was a fun anime--light, cute, even, um, flowery. It's loaded with sparkles and glitters and shiny objects, very "happy" compared to most anime this reviewer's seen.

There's an air of wonder to this film, most notably when the Sailor Scouts activate their powers and Sailor Moon calls out, "Mooon Crystaaalll Poweeeerrr!"

This is an anime to watch if you're looking for something with razzle-dazzle, cute humor and a whole lot of girl power.

My son is now 18 months, and LOVES this video...he has been watching it since he was 12 months and never tires of it. We happened to get our hands on copy that came with a mini BEEP THE BUS toy, which he brings me about 5 times a day to let me know that he wants to watch it. Good thing we got the DVD, because a tape would have been worn out by now! I am looking forward to the new version coming out is Sept. I am ready for a new one, I think I know all the words by heart now! If you child likes music, give this one a try.

Dr. Howard Bannister (Ryan O'Neal) is on his way to a convention to try to win a grant; he carries a plaid over-night bag containing experimental rocks. A mysterious stranger at an airport picks up an identical plaid bag containing top secrets. A rich lady carries (you guessed it) a plaid over-night bag full of her jewels. To add to the mix is a walking accident Judy Maxwell (Barbra Streisand) carrying her own plaid bag.

Soon all are inevitability going to converge. Toss in mistaken identities and a bubble bath. You have one of the most memorable comedies.

Lots of fun comedy with most of the clichs, Back and forth in a hallway, Obligatory chase scene, they show their puns, and even a quasi food fight, all over a hand full of bags. At one point Judy hangs around out side Howard's window; one wonders how her towel stays on.

If this ever gets sorted out we are in for a surprise.

If you find the concept of mixed bags funny then you need to also watch Sylvester Stallone in "Oscar" (1991).

Same basics ad the DVD without the goodies. I will describe the DVD.

Before we go into any details, I suggest you put on your protective goggles, strap in and go for the main feature. Prepare to be dazzled with sharp images and excellent sound that stay true to the original film.

As with all Disney products there is a lot of schmaltz explaining to them selves of how great they are. In this case, I will have to agree with them. The platinum edition of "Snow White and the seven Dwarfs" makes it well worth trading in your old version or just retiring it. The two-disk edition has more information than can be absorbed in one sitting.
Amazon did a good job of defining all the DVD goodies. However I must mention a few. This takes advantage of your remote control for navigation. To help you decide you have the magic mirror as a guide through both disks and all the feature sections. The magic mirror reminds me of the morose robot in Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

The only negative comment I have is on the second disk as you navigate the menus do not highlight like they should and leave you guessing as to what you have selected until you press the OK button.

If I had looked at the features first I would have found a game. "Dopey's Wild Mine Ride", that required me to go back to the feature, as I could not remember all the details it asked about. Some of the feature information is redundant. Some will require reading. One of the posters that were displayed looked like an advertisement for "Campbell's Cream of Dwarfs Soup."

There is a Barbra Streisand version of "Some Day My Prince Will Come" which was distracting (no offence Barbra) and would have been much better left sounding like Janet McDonald.

The printed Grimm's version of Snow White story was an eye opener.
You know when things are not as good, exciting, or scary as you remember. Well surprise this movie is as good, as exciting as scary and many time down right hilarious.

The Winnie the Pooh shorts, were always cartoon favorites from my childhood,and they always will; My favorites had always been Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day from 1968 (which earned an Oscar for best short), and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too from 1974 (though Rabbit getting lost the Dark Forest used to scared me as kid; But not anymore).

Now in 1977, the beloved shorts,we all loved had been put together, and maded into a "package" feature film; I had seen the film a couple of times, and now it's one of my favorite Disney animated Classics; The ending they had added after Tigger Too always got me here (*point to heart*).
