Review The Dog of Flanders - Subtitled in English / Geneon [Pioneer]:Ouida's Flemish classic children's novel of the late 1800s gets a slightly more unusual treatment here than in the 1999 live-action release. Originally a 1975 Japanese series called Furandaasu No Inu, The Dog of Flanders, set in 19th-century Belgium, is in the original Japanese with English subtitles. While the packaging proclaims it appropriate for ages 3 and up, it's best for older children, unless they can read English or understand Japanese. The subject matter-which covers death, despair, and unresolved disappointment-may be difficult for sensitive viewers. The story follows the adventures of artist Nello, a young peasant boy separated from his closest companion, wealthy Aloise. Nello only has his beloved grandfather and his faithful dog Patrasche, but his grandfather dies suddenly. Nello must fend for himself. Dog and boy master brave a frightful snowstorm, at the end of which Nello is finally able to view the work of his idol, Reubens. The ending, while grim, switches to the future with a grown Aloise (now a nun), and it's clear Nello's spirit lives through his still-devoted friend. A wonderfully animated film for the viewer who has the maturity to understand its deeply powerful story. [+]-N. F. Mendoza Set in 19th Century Belgium, this classic tale, based on the Flemish novel by Oui'da, celebrates the affectionate bond between an innocent boy and his faithful dog. This stunning animation, a masterful combination of traditional and computer aided animation, captures the natural splendor of the Flanders' countryside and recreates the spirit of this classic story that has captivated audiences world wide for more than 130 years. Pioneer Family Entertainment is honored to present this heartfelt drama for a whole new generation of families to enjoy. The Collector's Edition features the complete and uncut version of the film subtitled in English.

Review Night on the Galactic Railroad / Central Park Media:Based on a short story by the popular children's writer Kenji Miyazawa, Galactic Railroad offers viewers a slow-paced, dreamlike journey through space and time. When Giovanni, a lonely boy in a hill town, goes to get milk for his ailing mother, he finds himself crossing the Milky Way on a faster-than-light steam railroad. The stations he visits in various constellations, like the planets explored by St. Exupery's Little Prince, offer curious adventures and an assortment of human "types. " Reality and fantasy blur aboard the train, and its travels across the light-years sometimes suggests the journey through life. The characters as depicted as cats, presumably to avoid the problems of animating humans. Filmmaker Gisaburo Sugii's long career as an animator, director, executive director, and screenwriter began on The White Snake Enchantress, the first postwar Japanese feature. He has worked on projects ranging from the mildly erotic Cleopatra, Queen of Sex (1970) to Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy to a feature adaptation of the 11th-century novel The Tale of Genji. In the U. S. [+]he's best known as the director of the movie version of the popular video game Street Fighter II. The contrast between the deadly battles of Street Fighter and the almost hypnotic pace of Galactic Railroad is striking. -Charles Solomon.
