Dot and the Kangaroo (1977)

A Great Children's movie

[12 March 2001]

I remember seeing this movie as a child on HBO. I keep looking for a copy to rent or buy. It is the delightful story of a young girl(animated) who gets lost in the Australian outback(Live footage).

She is befriended by a group of animals who help her through the outback to find her way back home. Along the way she learns a bit about the history of the outback. Filled with some catchy songs and a great story, this movie rates high among my favorite children's movies. If you and your child get a chance to see this I highly recommend it

The Fantasticks (2000)

Old time musicals are back

[7 March 2001]

I am just finishing this movie as i type this. If you enjoy old time classic movies, like "Oklahoma", "Sound of Music" and the sort you will love this movie. Having performed in a stage version of "The Fantasticks"(as "The Mute")I was so excited that the film version was finally going to be released. I was not disapointed at all. After wondering how the makers were going to pull of a film version, I see that they have, the cinematography is Beautiful. Each actor was perfectly cast.

If you have access to the DVD, than that is the way to go, the deleted songs are a must for any fan of this classic
