A fast-paced and funny twist on the Homeward Bound saga in which devoted pets traverse the wilderness in search of their owners, Brave Little Toaster is an animated family treat that tells the delightful story of a gang of household appliances who set off for the big city to find their young master after he thoughtlessly leaves them in his summer cabin. Along the way they must face many dangers and obstacles, including figuring out how to get juice in a wilderness containing no electrical outlets. The film is based on a children's tale by science-fiction author Thomas M. Disch and won a Parent's Choice Award.

Seeking refuge from a storm, timid Richard Tyler enters an empty library only to be swept away into the magical animated world of the Pagemaster. It's a timeless place of wonder and discovery where legendary characters from literary classics come alive.

The Road to El Dorado DVD is sure to hold special appeal for those interested in the art of animation. The movie is brought to vivid life with a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation and either DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital 5.1, or Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Sound. Unfortunately, subtitles and audio are limited to English only. Special features of interest to animation fans include "The Making of the Road to El Dorado" featurette; feature commentary with directors Don Paul and Bibo Bergeron; "The Basics of Animation: The Color Script," where each scene of animation is commented on by directors Don Paul and Bibo Bergeron and art director Raymond Zibach; and the production notes, where research trips to the Yucatan and new innovations in animation such as Elastic Reality Warp and Spryticle (a water effect) are explained. On the less techie side is a read-along, Elton John's animated music video for "Someday out of the Blue," the theatrical trailer, and cast and crew bios. While there's little here to hold a child's interest, older fans may just consider the wealth of animation info available on this DVD pure gold.
