This 1949 Disney feature has never been available on video in its original form until now. The 68-minute film contains two shorts: The Wind in the Willows and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The former is a lively version of Kenneth Grahame's book of animal adventures, including Mr. Toad, a rambunctious sort with a passion for motorcars. Basil Rathbone narrates the story. Sleepy Hollow is the Washington Irving story of a stuffy schoolmaster and his ability to win the love of the fair Katrina from the brutish Brom Van Brunt. Many fans will see a resemblance to Disney's masterpiece created some 40 years later, Beauty and the Beast, in style and story. The end is still scary enough to send youngsters under the table. Bing Crosby supplies the narration, character voices, and songs. The opening number in a library including two stories has been included in this good-looking restoration. The shorts were made in Disney's prime, a year before Cinderella, and the look is wondrous. The exaggeration of Ichabod's skinny frame and his slumping horse is a glorious example. --Doug Thomas

Description

In the great tradition of SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS and CINDERELLA, Disney's 11th animated masterpiece, THE ADVENTURES OF ICHABOD AND MR. TOAD, introduced two literary classics to the screen. Through award-winning Disney-animated wizardry, these unforgettable children's stories come together as one fabulous adventure. THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS follows the wild ride of J. Thaddeus Toad, squire of Toad Hall. Smitten with motorcars, the wealthy and reckless sportsman soon drives his close friends Mole, Rat, and Angus MacBadger into a worried frenzy! Then meet Ichabod Crane, the spindly schoolteacher who dreams of sweeping the lovely Katrina off her feet -- until Brom Bones, the town bully, gets involved. Their comic rivalry introduces Ichabod to THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, the fabled Headless Horseman, and a hair-raising, heart-thumping climax. Narrated by legendary stars Basil Rathbone and Bing Crosby, THE ADVENTURES OF ICHABOD AND MR. TOAD is brimming with high-spirited adventure, brilliant animation, and captivating music -- now available for the first time in keeping with Walt's original theatrical vision.

Don Knotts and Tim Conway star in The Private Eyes, a 1980 comedy about two bumbling detectives solving a murder. It's an impressively incompetent affair. Every ancient joke falls with a muffled thud as Knotts and Conway ham their way through the pointless story: The lord and lady of a capacious manor are killed, and the lord's ghost seems to have returned to knock off the staff one by one. There's an austere housekeeper, a snooty butler with compulsive twitches, a sexy upstairs maid, a deformed groomsman, and a buxom young heir to the estate, who of course is going to be in some state of undress before the movie is over. People get killed, their bodies disappear, Knotts and Conway wander aimlessly through secret passageways, dimly seeking some way out of this movie. Conway cowrote the script, so he gets most of the blame; Knotts was probably just happy to have the work. --Bret Fetzer

Loved it.......2007-05-17

My family thought this movie was great. My sister and I loved this movie as kids and were pleased to find it on video. It is a family movie night type of film.

The Private Eyes.......2007-05-08

I received this movie super fast. It is great quality and I have been looking for this movie on DVD for years. Thanks

"You know what my mother used to say to make you throw up?".......2007-05-07

That's one of Tim Conway's lines, which starts a bunch of gross notions that will make you giggle, big time. His silly sense of humor is all over this movie (he cowrote it).
All I can say is, when you bring Tim Conway and Don Knotts together, you are sure to have fun.
They are two of the funniest people ever.

This was one of those flicks that, back in the 80's, came on tv on a Saturday afternoon and you'd watch it and laugh. My favorite running gags are the pigeons and the "alarm gun".
This movie is right up my alley, along with stuff from Monty Python, Mel Brooks, Danny Kaye, Martin Short, Carol Burnett, Steve Martin, and also Woody Allen's early films.

And the fact that it's a broad homage to whodunits is gravy. It's a great companion to Murder By Death, and Clue.

The Private Eyes.......2007-01-29

This movie was a wonderful movie for most families. Don Knotts and Tim Conway are two of the craziest people and you put them together, anything can happen and usually does. I recommend this movie for family night.

Hilarious.......2007-01-10

I would recommend this movie for those who love Tim Conway and Don Knotts!

Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze are the passionate lovers whose romance is undone when the latter is murdered during a bungled hit arranged by a rival. The clever concept by screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (director of My Life) extends outward into comedy (Swayze's character communicates through a sassy medium played by Whoopi Goldberg, who won an Oscar for this role), horror (the afterlife is populated by hell-bound demons and the like), and romantic complications (a handsome suitor, played by Tony Goldwyn, comes on to Moore while Swayze's spirit is still hanging around). Directed by Jerry Zucker, previously best known for codirecting Airplane! and similar broad comedies, Ghost is a careful balancing act of strong commercial elements, but at heart it is a timeless Hollywood tearjerker that easily gets under one's skin. --Tom Keogh

Description

Patrick Swayze plays a ghost who teams with a psychic (Whoopi Goldberg) to uncover the truth behind his murder - and to rescue his sweetheart (Demi Moore) from a similar fate. "The word of mouth is that Ghost is a must-see romance," says Entertainment Weekly. Ditto to that!

Most contemporary horror movies depend upon a series of sudden jolts, executed with the finesse of a cattle-prod, to keep their audiences awake. The Ring Two offers something far more interesting: A slow but relentless creepiness that might just linger in your mind when the movie is over. A few months after the events of the first Ring, journalist Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts, Mulholland Drive) and her son Aidan (David Dorfman, A Wrinkle in Time) have fled to a small town on the Oregon coast to get over their awful experience with a cursed videotape. Of course, a copy of the videotape finds its way there, and soon the troubled spirit of a girl with long, face-obscuring black hair is worming her way into Rachel and Aidan's lives by worming her way into Aidan's flesh. As a story with a coherent beginning, middle, and end, The Ring Two is full of holes; but as a series of surreal and evocative images accumulating into a dislocating sense of dread, The Ring Two holds up. In fact, at one point the movie becomes so dreamlike in its flow that it verges on avant-garde. The source of this alluring eeriness is the director, Hideo Nakata, who directed the Japanese Ringu, on which The Ring was based. Also featuring Gary Cole (Office Space) and Sissy Spacek (Carrie). --Bret Fetzer

Not as good as the first one........2007-06-13

If you've seen the first Ring and liked it, you'll be disappointed when you watch the sequel. It seems sort of thrown together and it lacks the mystery the first movie had.

Let's start off with what I liked about this movie. First of all, Naomi Watts is in this. She is one of my favorite actresses and she does a great job in this film. Second there are a few laugh out loud moments (when Rachel tries to tell Samara that she's not her mommy).

So what's not to like about this movie? As I said above, it seems like it was thrown together. Like the creators knew that Ring fans wanted another movie but they didn't know how to make a good one so they took bits and pieces out of the first movie and tried (and failed) to come up with something that would appeal to Ring fans. Second, the mystery is gone. Yes, you have your typical scenes that make you go "What does that mean?" but they don't really tie in together. Or if they do tie in together, compared to the first movie, they don't do enough to make you WANT to figure out what's going on. In the first movie, we were trying to figure out what happened to Samara. In this movie, we're trying to figure out... wait, what is it we're trying to figure out? Nothing. Rachel has to try to get rid of Samara but where's the shock and mystery? It's gone.

My rating: 3/5 stars. It's a disappointment compared to the first movie. However, it's an ok horror flick when you don't compare it other movies. Be sure to watch the first Ring before you see this one as some parts may not make sense to those who haven't seen the first one.

Shouldn't have made this sequel.......2007-06-09

I did like the first Ring because it was something a bit different.

This one was a pure yawner. Wasn't really scary. Story was slow and didn't make much sense. So Sam takes over his body during one of Hadyen dreams. So she must drown here son in the bathtub to rid her spirtit from his body. Makes sense? Not to me.

I have had scary experiences while playing Fatal Frame on my PS2 than this movie.

Scary? absolutely NOT.......2007-04-25

they should have stopped at the first one. this movie is horrible, not scary and actually silly. It made no sense at all! don't waste your time buying it nor renting it. it's not even worth the tape it was put on.

This IS the rare great sequel!.......2007-02-10

Most sequels are little more than a cheeper rehash of the original, but this superior sequel actually may be better than it's original in that the story is better explained and the history is more the focus. Everything that made the first movie great is here in this one as well, but this film seems to have a clearer vision and brings far more depth to all of the principal characters. Like the first one, there is no gore or bloodshed; it is just good old fashioned, spooky, atmospheric story-telling. This whole film is slickly executed and has a definitive ending and I hope that it is the end as a third go-around would be rather lame in comparison to this film and the original.

This film really does bring an appropriate end to the story which by this point has reached an almost mythical stature. We learn in much more detail about Sumara's life before her murder and, more importantly, what it is that she really wants. Neither of these aspects are explored enough in the first film. While both films are very satisfying in their conclusion, this one is moreso as we better understand the reasons behind Sumara's behavior and why she was murdered in the first place.

This film is nothing less than riveting. I and my family, thanks to the PG-13 rating for its disturbing images and not for gore or sex, totally enjoyed this very effective chiller.

The Ring-Ptooey.......2007-01-09

Ok, Ok,Ok we all know sequels rarely ever hold up to the original, more often than not they are tired retreads made simply for a quick buck. Credit,then, the makers of The Ring 2 with at least trying to sort of take the story in a new direction and bringing in the Japanese director of the original Ringu(Hideo Nataka) to try and give it some cred...however thats all the credit thats due for it. In fact after sitting through this lifeless, uninspired mess, I feel like the movie put itself firmly into debt.
The basic plot of the movie centers around(guess who) Samaya,Saria,whatever again attempting to broadcast herself into peoples homes(in an intro not nearly as tension filled and creepy as the first american Ring) and when thwarted by a visibly paycheck driven Naomi Watts, decides "Hey! maybe this whole T.V. thing isn't for me.besides Im sick of watching the same shows over and over again, you know what I'll do, I'll possess the most annoyingly bland child I can and sit around and call my mommy Mommy and pretend to be scary." Thats basically the gist of it.
Apart though from the plot, the movie contains several of the most ill-conceived attempts at chills Ive seen in a major Horror film with the pedigree that this one has. Im not just talking about stuff that isn't scary, I'm talking about stuff that goes more towards laughibly bad than anything I've seen since Battlefield Earth(which some argue was tongue-in-cheek anyway which just makes this that much worse).Case in point,Naomi Watts finds out Malaria,sinatra,whatever is again trying to creep out of that darned VHS tape and has already killed someone so she steals the tape and burns it. Said tape actually curls into something resembling a mouth and actually lets out a death scream.I'm guessing it found out that before Somalia,Monrovia,whatever possessed it it had old episodes of Full House. Second case in point-one of the eerier throughlines in the first movie was Mulva,Pantera's (whatever) ability to inspire fear in horses because of,in life, taking out her anger on them and killing them,therefore making horses terrifed to be around anyone who had seen dread tape or had a hint of the girl on them. They've taken that to the next level here lemme tell ya,with Naomi Watts and said bland boy being attacked by-of all things-computer generated deer. In broad daylight. I love seeing horror movies try different things and unconventional means to illicit fear,but never have I thought(and proudly still don't) that Bambi is scary. This should further prove that CGI effects should stay with dinosaurs and aliens where thay belong. I could go on.... they even give Mrs Watts a nifty little Awnold catch phrase moment at the end(and believe me thats not sarcasm-hasta La Vista baby wouldnt have been that different)... but Im sure my feelings are apparent and please heed my warning. If they really wanted to be scary, instead of Petunia,Mylanta whatever crawling out of her all too familiar well, they would have put this movie on that darned tape instead.

Disturbing images and a few good shocks don't stop The Ring from being a hash of half-baked ideas. It's the kind of frightfest you'll watch to set a chilling mood or spook your susceptible friends, but when you try to sort it out, this well-mounted American remake (of the 1998 Japanese hit Ringu, based on Koji Suzuki's popular novel) collapses into a heap of incoherent parts. The negligible plot follows a Seattle reporter (Naomi Watts) as she investigates the death of her niece, the victim of a mysterious videotape that, according to vague urban legend, causes the viewer's death seven days later. (Fear Dot Com borrowed the same idea while avoiding this film's lofty pretensions.) The reporter, her son, and her estranged boyfriend view the tape, and the film's countdown structure follows them into deepening layers of terror--all quite effective until the movie attempts to explain itself. At that you're better off shutting down your brain and letting the creepy visuals take over. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description

Newlyweds Webster and Jackie Frye (James Dunn and Florence Rice) arrive at an old country house for their honeymoon. They are horrified to discover a dead body. When the corpse disappears, a bumbling team of policemen confine them there for the night, along with the next-of-kin who've arrived to claim it. Unbeknownst to any of them, a gang of jewel thieves are hot on the trail of a fortune in diamonds which is also hidden in the house. Writer Morey Amsterdam keeps the pace swift and the dialogue crackling in this screwball comedy with a splash of the macabre. An exceptional ensemble cast featuring Sam McDaniel as the nervous chauffeur and Robert Dudley as the town's retired executioner who has a fixation with nooses, makes this a PRC classic.
