Family DVD

Family DVDs allow parents and children to come together to watch great stories in a private, comfortable environment. The good news is that studios now release family movies on DVD only a few weeks after theater release. By purchasing a family DVD instead of going to the theater, you determine your own movie-viewing schedule.

Some popular family DVDs have come from Disney Studios. The Lion King: Special Edition, for instance, is filled with songs, exotic rhythms, and memorable characters. You may also want to check out The Little Mermaid, which follows the tale of mermaid Ariel as she makes her way to "where the people are" and falls in love.

Disney also offers re-mastered classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Alice in Wonderland, and Beauty and the Beast. If you crave sophisticated animation and heartwarming stories, you can check out Disney's Pixar line of family-friendly DVDs like Toy Story and Toy Story II. These movies trace the adventures of anthropomorphized toys.

Another Pixar classic is the Finding Nemo: 2 Disc Collectors Edition DVD. With this DVD, you can immerse yourself in a wonderland of sea anemones, sharks, hippie turtles, electric jellyfish, and much more. Also, the Finding Nemo: 2 Disc Collectors Edition DVD set comes with extras, including commentary from the creators.
