DOG WHO SAVED CHRISTMAS VACATION, THE
ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT

This title has online video!
Series: FEATURE FILM, AGES 0-2, ANIMATED
Description - The Bannister family � including former K-9 police hero Zeus (voiced by Mario Lopez) � is back, and this time they're spending their holidays at a beautiful Rocky Mountain resort. But toss in an unexpected visit from cocky Uncle Randy (Casper Van Dien of "Watch Over Me" and The Curse of King Tut's Tomb) and his foxy poodle Bella (voiced by Paris Hilton) and a familiar pair of bumbling jewel thieves (led by Dean Cain of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventure of Superman" and The Dog Who Saved Christmas) and this holiday may be headed downhill fast! Can Zeus solve the crime, save Bella and hit the slopes, all in time for Christmas Day? Gary Valentine ("King of Queens") and Elisa Donovan ("Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and Clueless) co-star in the all-new four-legged family adventure!
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - The Bannister family takes off for the Colorado Rockies to spend Christmas together, but are surprised to find that a family member is already staying at mom's cabin. Throw in a couple of silly bad guys, and nothing happens the way they expect it to. A family friendly film that embraces the spirit of the holidays. The Bannister family is a great example of how we should treat each other. They don't talk at all about what toys they will get, only about spending quality time together. That is a great way to present the season to young children. Some rude behavior and excessive flatulence makes this less appropriate for young children. Children will love the "talking" dogs and dog tricks the canine actors perform in their roles. Good acting and scenery.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - I liked Zeus, because he was funny. He had a funny voice. I think my favorite character was the black dog, Trooper. He was cool because he was a police dog and he lived in the Colorado Rockies! Trooper also saved Zeus and his poodle girlfriend. The bad guys were very funny. This is a good movie for Christmas and for people who like dogs.

DOG WHO SAVED CHRISTMAS, THE
ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT

This title has online video!
Series: FEATURE, AGES 5-12
Description - Features the highly recognizable voice talent of Mario Lopez ("Dancing With the Stars," "Saved By the Bell") as Zeus, a mischievous yellow Labrador who appears to be less than the dependable guard dog the Bannister family needs. However, when two befuddled burglars set out to break into the family's home while they are away for Christmas, Zeus snatches the chance to be a hero, proving that every, dog even this one, has his day.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - What happens when a Christmas present goes horribly wrong? Find out along with the Bannister family when they adopt a K-9 watchdog who does not even know how to bark! An All-star cast is sure to impress with names such as Gary Valentine ("King of Queens"), Elisa Donovan ("Clueless; Sabrina the Teenage Witch"), Charlie Stewart ("The Suite Life of Zack & Cody") and many more. With the holiday season approaching, the Bannister family agrees they need either an alarm or a watchdog to keep their new house secure. Zeus sadly is no watchdog. While the kids fight to keep their loving dog Zeus, Zeus tries to prove himself to his new family. The poor dog is constantly reminded he cannot bark by his new mother Belinda and two hilarious talking mice who share his new home. After failing a mock-burglar test and breaking the Bannister family's gift to their Grandma, Zeus has run out of chances to prove himself worthy of protecting his family. But just as the Bannister's leave to spend Christmas Eve with their Grandma, and begin saying their goodbyes to their Pound bound mutt, Zeus is given one more chance to prove himself. With the threat of two robbers and no family around Zeus must snatch the chance to be a hero, he even gets help from an unexpected source to defeat the criminals. This fast-paced comedy is a perfect addition to the holiday season, and will become a family-friendly tradition for future Christmases to come.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - I loved this because there was a dog who couldn't bark and who would ever think a dog might not be able to bark? At the end when there were robbers he barked and the woman who they said hated dogs helped him. I think my friends would love this because they love animals, and it's a pretty good story. I don't think my friends who don't like animals would like it. The set was good and made me feel like Christmas.

SECRET CHRISTMAS
JOEY DECOURT
Series: SCREENPLAY FOR AGES 8-12
Description - Two boys experience an unusual Christmas Eve.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - In this short screenplay, two kids have a Santa encounter on Christmas Eve. Time honored theme, but not particularly original. The demeanor of the story is sweet and childlike and very kid-appropriate, it portrays the innocence of childhood well. Very little character development, but the boys are very likeable and the dialogue believable. We are impressed with the ability of this ten-year-old writer, Joey DeCourt, who has excellent grammar and is very adept at telling a story. The screenplay would benefit greatly from more detail. Young Joey has a lot of promise as a writer and it will be exciting to watch him mature in his craft.

CHUGGINGTON: IT'S TRAINING TIME
ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT

This title has online video!
Series: TV SERIES, AGES 2-5, ANIMATED
Description - Calling all chuggers! Join young trainees Wilson, Brewster and Koko in these six "traintastic" adventures. Watch as they learn how to pull a royal carriage, help Eddie repair the depot clock and take on the challenge of carrying passengers. Along the way, the trainees learn how to play fair, follow through on tasks, practice patience and help each other ride the rails of life. Your own little trainees will want to climb aboard and discover it all for themselves in It's Training Time!
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Young trains are in training to be able to start helping out in whatever way suits them best. They all learn how to do things, but not all of them are good at each task. Through the learning process they are asking questions, practicing what they have learned and fixing mistakes they are making. This is excellent modeling for little ones to begin doing the same. All of the characters take their turns making mistakes and learning how to correct them. In "Training Time for Harrison", an "adult" train wants to pull the royal coach and puts obstacles in the way of other trains, so that he will get the job first. He learns that even he has things to learn and can be a better train. Model working together and supporting each other. In "Watch Out Wilson," Wilson needs special mirrors to help him back up. He is afraid the other trains will make fun of him, but instead they cheer and say how much they like his mirrors. Great production values, bright and fun to watch.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Kids are smiling, laughing, playing and talking with each other as they watch. Many want to watch certain parts again. They like the opening song and some sing or dance along. One child even pulled out a box of trains and several children took them and played while watching. "Mommy, see that train, that one. He's funny." Kids talked about it and came back to watch a second time. Children all appear genuinely engaged by the episodes. Equally appealing to kids who were familiar with Chuggington as with the kids who were seeing it for the first time. The children played nicely together and seemed to want to be helpful and include each other in their play.
