What can Matt, an 11-year-old boy, do when his father is too obsessed with work to spend quality time with his family? A forgotten school project turns into sudden inspiration for Matt--if he buys his father's company, Tyler's Toys, he'll become his father's boss and can force him to spend more time at home! With a little business guidance from his teacher, some help from his friend Danny, and the promise of a major computer chip breakthrough by his sister Kelly, Matt secures $4 million from online kid investors and pulls off a hostile takeover of Tyler Toys. The fun really begins when Matt appears in front of his employees as an animated face on a computer monitor and institutes a liberal new work policy. Matt quickly discovers just how much work running a business entails and finds himself in serious trouble with the local bank and the Federal Trade Commission. Can a lot of hard work by the entire family and a little luck save Tyler's Toys? This well-produced, 99-minute video features Kevin Kilner, Alexandra Paul, Rich Little, and Dom DeLuise. The story is engaging, if strikingly reminiscent of the Tom Hanks movie Big. While aimed primarily at children ages 7 to 14, enough adult humor is sprinkled throughout to keep parents sufficiently entertained. --Tami Horiuchi

Good movie, better talent........2001-02-08

First, when I review a movie, I try to grade it on its own terms. It wouldn't be fair to put this one up against "Schindler's List" or "The Breakfast Club". This Disney offering is much like so many other Disney made-for-TV films. It's cute and inoffensive. There are no rough edges, nothing shocking... in a word: kid-safe. In this, it excells at being what it was intended to be. There is enough entertainment value to make The Brainiacs.com fun for adults, too, but I am deducting a point because the writers didn't work hard enough to maintain the suspension of disbelief for those technicially minded enough to be put off by the impossible feats that these kids pull off on their computers (things it would take an army of seasoned programmers and artists weeks to produce, these kids do in a few seconds.) This can be forgiven, though, since it is a common practice for such films and it really doesn't keep the movie from filling the niche it was intended to. I won't rehash the plot since it is already spelled out in the Amazaon editorial. There is one extraordinary aspect of this movie that bears mention, and that is its main star, Michael Angarano. I feel that he is seriously short-changed by whoever designed the outer box. It's obvious that he has a very formiddable talent and it shows here. He is charming and outshines the rest of the cast with his natural portrayal of the main character of Matt Tyler. It is a shame that his name is not even mentioned in the graphics on the front of the VHS box - what a horrible thing to do to a good young actor. It could be argued that being relatively unknown, his name won't sell units. My arguments are that -A> he won't be lesser-known for long, he is a busy enough and talented enough young actor to make a big impression on the business.... and -B> Kevin Kilner's name (which features very prominantly on the front) doesn't sell units, either. Ask a hundred strangers who "Kevin Kilner" is, and you'll get a hundred clueless answers. Truth is, he gets such a nod because he is an adult. Meanwhile, the star of the movie (which is primarily aimed at kids) gets demoted because he's a kid. Gotta love that bean-counter thinking. All preaching aside, if you like Disney made-for-TV movies, or your kids do, go ahead and give this one a try. Its funny, sweet and has a nice message for kids and parents alike.

MORE LITTLE LULU CABLE CARTOONS.......2005-09-13

My granddaughter absolutely enjoys the 2 recent Lulu adventures voiced by Tracy Ulman on the HBO network. We need more of these, as they are entertaining for youngsters yet need no parental guidance. These were great until HBO put them in time slots where they are not easily accessible for a child to view.
Please try to encourage the producers to bring on more than the 2 they have provided. I will be among the first to purchase!!

Lulupalooza.......2005-01-29

Marge's Little Lulu made her impressive debut in the Saturday Evening Post in 1935. Wildly popular, she hit the big screen in 1944 in a series of cartoons for Famous and Paramount studios, and was everywhere in ads for Kleenex tissues. John Stanley expanded the roster to include Tubby, her best friend, Annie, and the rest of the well-known gang. But her best venue by far came in 1995 in this labor of love from CINAR animation studios in Canada, which ran on HBO Family.

CINAR went back to the John Stanley comics and used many of his inspired stories, as well as the whole Stanley gang. Lulu is voiced by Tracey Ullman (on whose show The Simpsons made their debut). Each show consists of three cartoons, with brief Lulubites (reminiscent of Marge's single panel comic) and a short stand-up routine by Lulu/Ullman. Ullman's routines seem too strident for Lulu, and the barbed, adversarial humor (kids vs adults, girls vs boys) seems incredibly dated, the only discordant note in this wonderful series. (See also the companion volume, The Best of Little Lulu Featuring Friends and Enemies).

You get a whopping fifteen cartoons (five shows). Episodes: The Green Girl, with Rainy Day and Beautiful Lulu; Alvin's Record Player, with Lulu's Television Debut and Cry Baby; Snowball War, with Jr. Detective Tubby and Picnic Pirates; Gilbert the Gorilla, with Snow Business and The Case of the Egg in the Shoe; Business Girl, with The Pet Duck and Lulu's Umbrella Service.

A Well Restored Cartoon Collection.......2005-11-02

The 4 Little Lulu and 2 Little Audrey cartoons on this DVD collection are well restored, and look very good for their age. Both characters were made by the Famous Studios, and featured the music of Winston Sharples. Mae Questal (who also did the voice of Olive Oyl and Betty Boop), was the voice for Audrey and Lulu. The collection ends with 2 b&w Cubby Bear (later called Brownie Bear) episodes, which also show little deterioration. The total running time is 62 minutes, and the episode list is:
1: "The Lost Dream" (1949), directed by Bill Tytla, animated by George Germanetti and Harvey Patterson. In this imaginative cartoon, Little Audrey has an "out of body" experience, and a "lost dream" shows her how dreams are made...which is fine until she opens the nightmare door! 5 *
2: Cad and Caddy" (1947), directed by Seymour Kneitel, animated by Myron Waldman, Gordon Whittier, Nick Tafuri, Irving Dressler, and William Pattengill. Little Lulu becomes a caddy for a mean golfer, with the promise of getting a lollipop for her efforts. Lulu and her frog friend take revenge when the golfer doesn't give it to her. 4 *
3: "A Bout with a Trout" (1947), directed by Isadore Sparber, animated by Waldman, Whittier, Tafuri, Dressler and Pattengill. When Little Lulu skips school to go fishing, she gets a lesson in the form of a dream. Lots of music in this one. 5 *

4: "Chick and Double Chick" (1946), directed by Seymour Kneitel, animated by Graham Place, Martin Taras and Lou Zukor. Little Lulu and her dog watch over some hatching chicks, and try to keep them safe from the greedy cat. 4*
5: "Dog Show Off" (1948), directed by Seymour Kneitel, animated by Waldman, Whittier, Tafuri, Dressler and Pattengill. Lulu tries to get a little boy's mutt dog into a dog show. This was the last episode made of this Little Lulu series due to contract problems. 4*
6: "The Seapreme Court" (1954), directed by Seymour Kneitel, animated by Tom Golden and Morey Reden. Little Audrey falls asleep while she's fishing, and in a dream goes to Fishland and stands trial. The story is told mostly in rhyme, and is cleverly drawn. 5*

7: "Prest-O Change-O" (1939), directed by Chuck Jones, animated by Ken Harris, with music by Carl Stalling for the Schlesinger Studios. Features 2 dogs and a rabbit, "Sham-Fu the Magician," who is a little like a forerunner of Bugs Bunny. This one is without dialogue. 4*
8: "Opening Night" (1933), directed by Mannie Davis for the Van Beuren Studios. Cubby Bear goes to the Roxy Theater, and ends up conducting the orchestra. Features a well-endowed Diva, and some marvelous theater interiors. Opera fans will like this one! b&w. 4*
9: "Croon Crazy" (1933), directed by Steve Muffati for the Van Beuren Studios. Cubby Bear becomes a one-man band for a radio show, and impersonates Paul Whiteman, Al Jolson, Mae West, Kate Smith, and more. Includes some very politically incorrect cartooning of Mahatma Gandhi! 4*
