The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
a great example of bringing fiction to life
In recent years I have not been impressed with the efforts of Disney. It seems that their work has been void of new ideas and true quality (see the vast number of direct to video sequels). This film is a huge exception. This time Disney shines with all the potential the mega- company is capable of. It is often difficult to find a good film adaptation of a treasured novel. Regardless of how detailed an author's work, we all form different mental pictures of what it "should" look like. This film not only brought the characters and action to life but did so in a way that did not disappoint. This is the only time that I can honestly say that the movie was better than the original book. My only hope is that C.S. Lewis would have been proud.
The Piglet Files (1990)
This show is so much fun to watch
My whole family loves catching The Piglet Files on PBS on Saturday nights. It is so clever and funny.Piglet is the only one with any sort of intelligence. Everyone else just seems to be clueless. They bungle all of the assignments and Piglet (usually accidentally) cleans up the mess. (I still can't figure out how his wife doesn't know that he's an MI5 agent. Even though this takes place in Great Britian, I think Americans audiences can relate. Just change MI5 to CIA and you've got a hit show! I'm disappointed that they are not making new episodes. It seems that by the time we get good British shows here, they're already canceled in GB, which is too bad.
