The Adventures of Young Hercules

Did you know that name Hercules is the Latin form of his ancient Greek name. In Greek mythology,he is the son of Zeus, king of the gods of Olympus, and Alcmena, a mortal woman who lived about three thousand years ago. Recognizing the need for a son who would be powerful enough to defend both the Olympian gods and humanity from future dangers he foresaw, Zeus seduced Alcmena in the guise of her husband, King Amphitryon of Troezen. Thanks to Zeus's enchantment, Hercules was born with the potential for extraordinary strength, which he first displayed before he was even one year old by strangling two serpents which attacked him. As an adult, Hercules is best known for his celebrated Twelve Labors, which were performed in part to prove his worthiness for immortality to Zeus. Hercules' principal power is his superhuman strength. As true immortals, the Olympian gods do not age and are not susceptible to disease. Although they can be wounded in battle, they cannot die by any conventional means, and have a rapid healing rate. Hercules has a greater resistance to physical injury than any other Olympian god except for Zeus, and possibly Neptune and Pluto. He can even survive unprotected in the vacuum of space for a brief period of time. Only an injury of such magnitude that it incinerated him or dispersed a major portion of his bodily molecules could kill Hercules. In at least some such cases, Zeus or one of the other gods might still be able to resurrect him. Hercules has highly developed leg muscles, although they do not match those of the Hulk. Hercules can make a standing high jump of at least 100 feet in Earth's gravity. He is virtually tireless. His supernaturally enhanced musculature produces no fatigue poisons.

In the famous Young Hercules TV series, storyline follows Hercules as he attends Cheiron's Academy to train in the arts of the warrior under the wise headmaster Cheiron the Centaur . He makes friends with the future king of Corinth, the prince Jason and a thieving former member of a bandit group Iolaus who was sentenced to the training academy as an alternative to prison for his crimes. Hercules also meets the academy's first female cadet, Lilith . Other characters of interest include Kora, the Inn Keeper, who unknown to Hercules and his friends, is a devotee of Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt. As the series develops, Kora is revealed to have special powers which allow her to do Artemis' bidding. There are hints of romance between Hercules and Kora, although their friendship keeps it all innocent.

In 1998, the show won the following Daytime Emmy Awards nominations for Outstanding Sound Editing and while for 2001,Writers Guild of America, USA Children's Script.

I will definitely recommend this amazing DVD for kids and their family! Have fun and enjoy this show!

The Adventures of Lilo and Stitch

There's so much adventures in the hit TV series Lilo and Stitch. A story of a Hawaiian girl named, “ Lilo” who befriends, “ Stitch,” a multi-talented alien and the result of a once-evil scientist's lab experiment but for Lilo she's a little dog. The TV series version finds Lilo and Stitch teaming up to track down some 625 similar alien experiments, whose special skills bade fare to plunge the world into hilarious chaos.

To know more about the show, Dr. Jumba Jookiba is put on trial by the galactic governing body for illegal genetic experiments, including Experiment 626, an aggressive and cunning creature that is nearly indestructible. Jumba is imprisoned while 626 is set to be exiled on an asteroid. However, during transport on Captain Gantu's ship, 626 escapes to the planet Earth.

The Grand Councilwoman orders Jumba to work with Agent Pleakley to recover 626 discreetly. 626 survives his escape attempt to Earth, landing in Hawaii, but is knocked unconscious by a passing truck, and is taken to an animal shelter because he is to believed a breed of dog. After the recent death of their parents in a car accident, 19-year-old Nani Pelekai is looking after her younger, more rambunctious sister Lilo. They are visited by Cobra Bubbles, a social worker, who is concerned that Nani cannot take care of Lilo appropriately. The social worker is considering taking Lilo into foster care, however, Nani is very much against this idea as Lilo and her are the only remaining members of her family. After hearing Lilo's prayer in her room asking for a friend (Lilo has no 'real' friends because every girl in her class bullies her), Nani agrees to allow Lilo to adopt a dog. As Nani goes around attempting to find a job, she is forced to bring Lilo and Stitch with her. Lilo uses the time to try to curb Stitch's aggressiveness by making him behave like Elvis Presley. Stitch's antics, although at times they foil Jumba and Pleakley's attempts to capture him, also ruin Nani's chances of getting a job. David, Nani's "boyfriend", sees Nani at the beach, where she had been trying to get a job as a lifeguard.

So what makes Lilo and stitch a huge hit for kids? strays a bit from the cut and dry Disney formula and infuses itself with some very clever and demented humor, which is quite a refreshing change and is probably one of the reasons it did so well in theaters. Another thing that made kids loves this show is because the animation is even fresh for a Disney film, with a return to a very traditional hand drawn look with very little use of computer graphics. Character designs consist of very round and warm shapes along with beautiful watercolor backgrounds for the Hawaiian locations that the story takes place in, relaxing and realistic scenery.

A definitely must see DVD for your kids. Your family will surely enjoy Lilo and Stitch!

Join the Adventure of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles

One of the best, most under rated television shows of the early 1990s was The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on ABC. Did you know that The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was based on the Indiana Jones series of films? The TV series  was a follow up on the adventures of young Indiana Jones till he grew up and experienced early adventures, where he gets into troubles, learn more lessons in life and meet various historical figures along the way.

The show primarily starred Sean Patrick Flanery and Corey Carrier as the title character, and George Hall played an elderly version of the character for the bookends of most episodes, though Harrison Ford book-ended one episode. The show was created and executive produced by George Lucas, who also created, co-wrote and executive produced the Indiana Jones feature films. Following the series' cancellation, four TV movies were produced from 1994 to 1996 which were based on the series. The TV show provided a lot of the flashbacks for the films. His relationship with his father, was first introduced in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, was further fleshed out with stories about his travels with his father as a young boy. His original hunt for the Eye of the Peacock, a large diamond was also seen in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, a recurring element in several stories. The show also chronicled his activities during World War I and his first solo adventures. The series is also referenced in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, when Indy describes his adventures with Pancho Villa chronicled in the first episode to Mutt Williams.

For those who don’t know how it was made, during the production of the Indiana Jones feature films, the cast and crew frequently questioned creator George Lucas about the Indiana Jones character's life growing up. During the concept stages of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lucas and director Steven Spielberg decided to reveal some of this back story in the film's opening scenes. For these scenes, Lucas chose River Phoenix to portray the character, as Harrison Ford believed that Phoenix most resembled Ford as a young man. This decision to reveal an adventure of a young Indiana led Lucas and crew to the idea of creating the series. The series was shot in three stages. The first production occurred from 1991 to 1992, and consist of sixteen episodes; five with younger Indy, ten with older Indy, and one with both—for a total of seventeen television hours. The second production occurred from 1992 to 1993 and consist of twelve episodes; one with younger Indy and eleven with older Indy, for a total of fifteen television hours. The third and final production occurred from 1994 to 1995, and consist of four made-for-television movies, for a total of eight television hours. In 1996, additional filming was done in order to re-edit the entire series into twenty-two feature films.

Here is another trivia for the fans of The Indiana Jones, the series was filmed in 23 different countries, traveling over 165,000 miles approximately six times around the world. Cast and crew shot for 152 weeks, making this the longest location shoot in history at that time. The series featured over 1.500 speaking parts, 50.000 extra's for whom over 120, 0000 meals were served. Enough 16-millimeter film was shot to go from New York to Phoenix.



So what are you waiting for? Make your life full of adventures and grab this amazing DVD collection of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

Into The Fashion World of Sex and the City

Are you a fan of branded clothes and shoes like Manolo, Gucci, Prada and a lot more? Then you'll find this TV show perfect for you! The characters of HBO’s Sex and the City into small screen fashion icons and have sparked trends ranging from high-end designer bags to clothing. Who would not love the clothes and shoes of Carrie, definitely has the most fashionable wardrobe of all the Sex and the City girls.

The television show focused on Carrie and her close friends, three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties. Mostly examines the lives of big city professional women in the late 1990s and how changing roles and expectations for women affected the characters. The major characters in this show, Carrie Bradshaw, is said to be the narrator of each TV episodes. Each episode is structured around her thoughts while writing her weekly column Sex and the City for the newspaper “the New York Star.” A member of the New York glitterati, she is a club/bar/restaurant staple who is known for her unique fashion sense particularly footwear: Manolo Blahnik to be precise. She works on her laptop in her apartment, writing newspaper articles focusing on the different aspects of a relationship. In later seasons, her essays are collected as a book and she begins taking assignments from Vogue and New York Magazine.

Carrie is house-proud on her one-bedroom, rent-controlled apartment in Upper East Side brownstone. A simple yet open-minded girl looking for one perfect love, but also having fun in the process. She experienced both happiness in her independence and loneliness, and is probably the most relative to normal everyday to each females that most can relate to her. Despite several long-term boyfriends, Carrie is entangled with "Mr. Big" in a complicated, multifaceted on-and-off-again kind of relationship. Samantha Jones, the oldest and most sexually confident of the foursome. Samantha is an independent businesswoman, with a career in public relations. She is confident, strong, outspoken, and calls herself a "try-sexual". One of Samantha's best qualities is her loyalty to her friends. Charlotte York works in an art gallery and has had a conventional Connecticut upbringing. She is the most optimistic of the group, the one who places the most emphasis on emotional love as opposed to lust, and is a true romantic; always searching for her "knight in shining armor." She scoffs at the lewder, more libertine antics of her friends primarily Samantha, presenting a more traditional attitude about relationships, usually based around "the rules" of love and dating. Despite her traditional outlook, she has been known to make concessions while married that even surprise her more sexually liberated girlfriends. Charlotte was a "straight A" student who attended Smith College where she was a member of Kappa Kappa majoring in art history with a minor in finance. Lastly, Miranda Hobbes, a career-minded lawyer with extremely cynical views on relationships and men. A Harvard Law School graduate from Philadelphia with two siblings, she is Carrie's best friend, confidante, and voice of reason. In the early seasons, she portrayed as masculine, but her image softens over the years, particularly after she becomes pregnant by her on/off boyfriend, Steve Brady, whom she eventually marries. The birth of her son, Brady Hobbes, brought up new issues for her Type A, workaholic personality, but she soon finds a way to balance career, being single and motherhood.

What it makes more interesting in the show is that no villain is present for the women to overcome. No one is standing in the way of each woman’s happiness except themselves. Carrie is not craving for Big’s attention with a rival the problems are in the relationships. So what makes Sex and the City different from other shows? It was one of the highest rated TV series of the season. I give credits to the cast because without them the show wouldn't be successful! The good thing about this show is that the female characters of Sex and the City might be unreal, but they can teach us how to find love and keep it.

So from this, we can expect some new ideas but I'm sure that we'll see the latest trends in designer clothing, shoes and designer handbags. So grab your popcorn and seat on the couch, and start watching this amazing DVD collection of Sex and the City.
