Mar 18, 2003Victorian Submarine Inventor/Jules Verne Adaptation
Disney's adaptation of Jules Verne's novel is a lavishly produced period adventure. This became the definitive version of the book and inspired a string of imitators

Dec 16, 2000Submarine Journey Through the Human Body
An all-time favourite based on the notion of a journey through the human body via a miniaturised submarine, an idea that comes with a sublime poetry despite the sometimes dodgy effects and plot holes

Dec 16, 2001Doctor That Can Speak to Animals/Musical
This gets the nonsensical absurdity of the original Doctor Dolittle stories far more than the Eddie Murphy version ever did. On the other hand, this was the era of Mary Poppins and everything is played as a lumbering over-budgeted musical

Nov 9, 2005Warrior Woman/Sword and Sorcery
A disappointing adaptation of Robert E. Howard's warrior woman character. This is beautifully designed but suffers from a non-acting Brigitte Nielsen in the title role and an insulting need to water the toughness of the character down
