A collection of children's animated adventures from the Blue Sky
studios. In 'Epic' (2013), Mary Katherine (voice of Amanda
Seyfried) lives in a cabin in the woods with her eccentric father,
Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), who studies the local fauna. One
day, when he doesn't return from a hike in the forest, she sets out
to find him, inadvertently stumbling across some strange glowing
leaves. Clutching one, Mary Katherine is shrunken down to the
forest floor, where, after meeting up with a group of warriors
known as the Leafmen, she finds herself helping her new friends in
their war to save their world from the clutches of the evil
Boggans. In 'Horton Hears a Who!' (2008), a jungle elephant named
Horton (Jim Carrey) discovers a race of tiny beings living in a
solitary dandelion. Recognising the dangers they face, the friendly
pachyderm resolves to keep his microscopic pals safe. However, as
Horton is the only one who hears the inhabitants of 'Whoville', his
other animal pals are convinced he's gone crazy and resolve to do
something about it. Horton and his miniscule friends must struggle
against these impossible odds to prevent disaster. In 'Ice Age'
(2002), a group of three animals embark upon an epic journey at the
dawn of the great ice age. Sid the sloth (John Leguizamo), Manfred
the woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger
(Denis Leary) team up to help return a human baby to its father,
and must risk life and limb as they traverse boiling lava pits and
travel through dangerous ice caves to complete their mission. In
'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown' (2006), Manny is ready to start a family,
but nobody has seen another mammoth for a long time; in fact, Manny
thinks he may be the last one. That is until he miraculously finds
Ellie (Queen Latifah), the only female mammoth left in the world.
The only problem is, they can't stand each other... In 'Ice Age 3:
Dawn of the Dinosaurs' (2009), Scrat the squirrel (Chris Wedge) is
still trying to get his paws on that ever-elusive nut, Manny and
Ellie anxiously await the birth of their mini-mammoth, and Diego
wonders if he's growing too laid-back living the life of a pampered
house cat. Meanwhile, Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he
creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some unusually large
eggs, and inadvertently discovers a mysterious underground world
where dinosaurs still roam. In 'Ice Age 4: Continental Drift'
(2012), when the entire continent is set adrift following a global
cataclysm, Manny, Diego and Sid find themselves separated from the
rest of the herd. Commandeering a nearby iceberg as a makeshift
boat, they take to the high seas. Fearsome sea creatures and
battlethirsty pirates are among the challenges faced by the
intrepid trio as they ride the waves of the world in search of
their family. In 'Rio' (2011), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) is a rare
macaw living in a bookshop in small-town Minnesota. Believing
himself to be the last of his kind, he is thrilled to hear that a
female macaw of the same species has been spotted in South America.
Blu must now overcome his social ineptitude and fear of flying and
set out for Rio de Janeiro to track down the feisty and independent
Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and try to win her heart. Finally, in
'Robots' (2005), Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is a small
town robot who has a gift for inventing things and a hope of moving
beyond his quaint surroundings. Dreaming of doing something better
than working alongside his dad in a restaurant, Rodney, armed with
his unique talent for inventing, embarks on a journey to Robot City
to meet his idol, the majestic inventor Bigweld (Mel Brooks).
Double-bill of animated movies about a gang of prehistoric animals
who become close friends. In 'Ice Age' (2002), the story begins at
the dawn of the great ice age, when a group of three animals embark
upon an epic journey. Sid the sloth, Manfred the mammal, and Diego
the sabre-toothed tiger team up to help return a human baby to its
father, and must risk life and limb as they traverse boiling lava
pits and travel through dangerous ice caves to complete their
mission. Along the way they also meet Scrat, a squirrel-rat
determined to plant an acorn in a glacier. The film features the
voices of John Leguizamo, Denis Leary and Jack Black. In 'Ice Age 2
- The Meltdown' (2006), Manny the woolly mammoth (voice of Ray
Romano), Sid the sloth (Leguizamo), Diego the saber-toothed tiger
(Leary), and the hapless prehistoric squirrel/rat known as Scrat
(Chris Wedge) are back in this sequel to the popular 2002 film.
Manny is ready to start a family, but nobody has seen another
mammoth for a long time. In fact, Manny thinks he may be the last
one. That is until he miraculously finds Ellie (Queen Latifah), the
only female mammoth left in the world. The only problem being that
they can't stand each other. Ellie comes with some excess baggage
in the form of her two possum friends, Crash (Seann William Scott)
and Eddie (Josh Peck), a couple of daredevil pranksters and cocky,
loud-mouthed troublemakers. When a huge glacial dam holding off
oceans of water is about to break, threatening the entire valley,
the only chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So
our three heroes, along with Ellie, Crash and Eddie, form the most
unlikely family as they embark on a mission across an
ever-changing, increasingly dangerous landscape.
Broadband technology is changing our lives, our economy, and our
culture. By making it possible to access, use, and share
information, news, and entertainment with ever increasing speed,
broadband knits geographically-distant individuals and businesses
more closely together, increases our productivity, and enriches our
quality of life. In so doing, it fuels economic growth and job
creation that, in turn, provide unparalleled new opportunities for
our nation's citizens. The procompetition telecommunications
policies underpinning the administration's broadband strategy is
examined in this book. Among other things, it stabilised the market
for planning and investment, provided needed spectrum resources to
expand existing services and support new innovations, and spurred
the development and deployment of technologies and infrastructure
necessary to deliver them. The same technology that enables
governments, banks, corporations and other institutions to manage
affairs of state and international finance and trade now makes
critical contributions to health care, education, public safety,
and the productivity of individuals and small businesses, as well
as a host of other activities. The swift growth in broadband
technologies and services that has occurred over the last several
years are also discussed in this book.
Nonviolent action, well planned and implemented, is shown in this
lucid, timely, and compelling work to effect dramatic outcomes
against opponents utilizing violence. Ackerman and Kruegler
recognize that not all nonviolent efforts meet with success and
they are careful to stress that a nonviolent approach involves
great risks as well as opportunities. It is the effectiveness of
the strategies employed which will determine whether those using
nonviolent means can prevail against opponents who rely on violence
in pursuit of objectives. Twelve principles of strategic
nonviolence are established in this book--they serve as a
conceptual foundation and enhance the prospects of success in
nonviolent campaigns of resistance. The authors also develop six
twentieth century examples of nonviolent action from the early
Russian Revolution of 1904-1906 through the Solidarity movement in
1980-1981. Each campaign narrative constitutes a fascinating
reading experience and illustrates common themes, strategies, and
important aspects of behavior on the part of major participants in
nonviolent encounters. This is a singularly important book. It
offers more than a mere plea for nonviolence. Ackerman and Kruegler
provide hard lessons based on important, and often painful,
historical efforts: principles to govern the choice and
implementation of strategies when nonviolence is the determined
response; and insightful analysis to guide assessment and policy.
Finally, the authors consider the evolving international situation
and relate current themes and policies to the potential inherent in
astute and deliberate programs of nonviolence. A work which will
focus analysis, impact decision-making, stimulate
policyconsideration, and invigorate research, this volume will well
serve professionals and students in international relations and
numerous related fields.
