A visual knockout,
Titan A.E. is an ambitious animated feature that combines traditional animations, computer-generated imagery, and special effects in the service of
a science fiction adventure. Young man with a chip on his shoulder learns that he's the only hope to save what's left of the human race. Basic good vs. evil outer space saga
has great visual effects but stock characters and situations and the dullest voice performances in animation history.

and is a fitting rival for his stepbrother Rameses (Ralph Fiennes). When he learns of his roots--in a knockout sequence in which hieroglyphics come alive--he flees to the
desert, where he finds his roots and heeds God's calling to free the slaves from Egypt Click Here for price and info

The first theatrical film from the popular Nickelodeon TV series became the surprise hit of the 1998. The key ingredient to the Rugrats'
success is the writing. Venturing into their first theatrical movie, the pals--including the intrepid diaper-wearing Tommy Pickles, the nervous Chuckie, the
twins Lil and Phil, and the wonderfully prissy Angelica--garble English into funny prose ("I want those fugitives back in custard-y!") and use movie references in their fantasy life.
The opening here is a dead-on spoof of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Click Here for price and info

A good wizard finds his magical powers diminishing as this Rankin/Bass production based on the Peter Dickinson novel opens. His nemesis, the evil Ommadon (voiced by

titular fire-breathing dragons, the wizards, a knight, a maiden, some elves, and--in a feminist departure from tradition--a heroic bowwoman. DVD not available
