  • For Lucy and Edmund, having to spend the summer holidays with their odious cousin Eustace was the pits.  They were gazing dejectedly at the picture of the ship with the dragon prow when - the ship began to gently rock and the wind began to blow.  The frame disappeared and the three children were hurled into the waves. Grasping the ropes thrown to them, they climbed aboard to safety.  They were sure they were going to have a wonderful time - they had joined Prince Caspian in his search for seven friends of his father long since lost on a dangerous voyage to the Eastern Islands.  Cover art by Stephen Lavis.

As the rampaging Horde, they waged a number of devastating wars against their perennial enemy - the Alliance. Yet the rage and bloodlust that drove the orcs to destroy everything in their path nearly consumed them as well.  Long ago, on the idyllic world of Draenor, the noble orc clans lived in relative peace with their enigmatic neighbors, the Draenei. But the nefarious agents of the Burning Legion had other plans for both of the unsuspecting races. The demon-lord Kil'jaeden set in motion a dark chain of events that would succeed not only in eradicating the Draenei, but forging the orc clans into an single, unstoppable juggernaut of hatred and destruction.

  • A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned  - a razor-edged fairy tale for adults that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh. DVD: George Orwell's classic fable brought to life by the magic of Jim Henson's Creature Shop and featuring the voices of Kelsey Grammer, Ian Holm, Pete Postlethwaite, Paul Schofield, Patrick Stewart, Julia Ormond and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Prince Rupert, his younger son - not so much expendable as surplus to requirements - has been sent out on a Quest. When he returns, much to everyone's surprise, he's not only got the Princess but the dragon too...and as the time of the Blue Moon approaches, it seems everyone's looking at Rupert to risk his neck - again. A second son, a tired dragon, a unicorn without a horn and a princess with a wicked left hook are an unlikely company to face a demon - but face him they must when the Blue Moon rises.
