Chicago – Even Disney’s animated canon has a few films that aren’t going to get the marketing push or special edition treatment like “Finding Nemo” and “Cinderella” will get before the end of the year. And yet there are some hidden gems deep in the catalog of the most influential and important film studio of all time. The Mouse House just released seven films on five Blu-rays and I can guarantee you that at least one will meet the needs of your family when it’s time to turn on the electric babysitter. Pick your favorite.
It’s a tough call for this critic. I’d have to go with “The Aristocats,” the 20th Disney animated film and a pretty interesting time capsule given the way it bridges the gap from the more fantasy and literature-based animation of the first few chunks of the Disney archive and the creative...

One of my favorite Disney movies as a child is The Rescuers. I know that's a strange choice out of all the countless classics the legendary studio churned out over the years, but it is what it is. I remember going to the theater and loving the gloomy setting of the swamp and the chilling atmosphere of the abandoned river boat. It just resonated with me as a six-year-old for some odd reason.
I can now show my children this wonderful film thanks to Walt Disney Home Entertainment's 2-movie Blu-ray release of The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under in a 35th Anniversary Edition. Both films are charming and hold up well. However, the original remains the jewel in the crown.
The Rescuers tells the story of two mice named Miss Bianca and Bernard. Miss Bianca is a member of the international Rescue Aid Society and Bernard is their janitor.

The Playlist has eleven great images from Gus Van Sant’s upcoming film, Restless, which has just had its debut opening the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes, and will hopefully see a UK release later this year.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been looking forward to this film ever since it was announced, and even more so after the first trailers came out at the end of last year. Van Sant’s body of work is exceptional, winning him the Palme d’Or, Cannes’ most prestigious prize, for Elephant in 2003, as well as Academy Award nominations for Best Director with Good Will Hunting and Milk.
Restless is Van Sant’s first feature since Milk, and tells the story of a terminally ill teenage girl (Mia Wasikowska, Alice in Wonderland) who falls in love with a boy (Henry Hopper) that likes to attend funerals and is friends...

Before the production of Gus Van Sant's newest picture, "Restless" was deemed an awkward title. Eighteen months later, it seems like fate. Van Sant's work resists pigeonholing; even so, "Restless" wasn't an obvious choice to follow "Milk." The script, Jason Lew's first, is an adaptation of his play, "Of Winter and Water Birds," in which a terminally ill teenage girl (Mia Wasikowska) falls for a boy who likes to crash ...

This is the trailer for Restless, directed by Gus Van Sant, screenplay by Jason Lew, based upon the stage play “Of Winter and Water Birds” by Jason Lew, starring Mia Wasikowska, Henry Hopper, Ryo Kase, Schuyler Fisk and Jane Adams. From Imagine Entertainment comes a powerful and emotional coming of age story, a remarkable film told with honesty and originality that will leave audiences moved. In the film, two outsiders, both shaped by the circumstances that have brought them together, forge a deep and lasting love. Directed by Gus Van Sant, one of the most astute observers of people living life on the edge, comes a take on friendship and young love as engaging and true as it is provocative and stirring. The screenplay is by Jason Lew.
