The musical dinosaurs from the Great Valley are back for another
song-filled adventure. Littlefoot (voice of Alec Medlock) dreams
that he has found a land filled with brontosauruses like him. When
he tells his grandparents (Kenneth Mars and Miriam Flynn) about the
dream, they take it as a sign that they should set out and look for
the land Littlefoot is describing. After many days of travelling,
they are thrilled to discover a new world where longneck dinosaurs
are in abundance. Then, when they run into his long-lost father,
Bron (Kiefer Sutherland), who vanished before Littlefoot was born,
the little brontosaurus is faced with a life-changing decision:
stay behind with his newly rediscovered father, or go back with the
grandparents who have cared for him all his life and be reunited
with his friends.
One of Hollywood's great leading men, James Garner boasts a career
that spans six decades. Whether known as Bret Maverick, Jim
Rockford, or Noah Calhoun, Garner's mass appeal transcends
generations, but few know the true story of his life, now told in
his intimate memoir of growing up in Oklahoma and making it in
Hollywood. After suffering physical abuse at the hands of his
stepmother, Garner left home at fourteen. He went on to become
Oklahoma's first draftee of the Korean War and was honoured for his
bravery with two Purple Hearts. Garner eventually returned to Los
Angeles where his acting career took off. Working alongside some of
the most renowned celebrities - among them Julie Andrews, Marlon
Brando, Clint Eastwood - Garner became a star in his own right.
Dean Smith has taken falls from galloping horses, engaged in
fistfights with Kirk Douglas and George C. Scott, donned red wig
and white tights to double Maureen O'Hara, and taught Goldie Hawn
how to talk like a Texan.He's dangled from a helicopter over the
skyscrapers of Manhattan while clutching a damsel in distress, hung
upside down from a fake blimp 200 feet over the Orange Bowl, and
replicated one of the most famous scenes in movie history by
climbing on a thundering team of horses to stop a runaway
stagecoach. Cowboy Stuntman chronicles the life and achievements of
this colorful Texan and Olympic gold medal winner who spent a half
century as a Hollywood stuntman and actor, appearing in ten John
Wayne movies and doubling for a long list of actors as diverse as
Robert Culp, Michael Landon, Steve Martin, Strother Martin, Robert
Redford, and Roy Rogers.

In this heartfelt tribute to the spirit and people of Oklahoma, one
of the state's most distinguished photojournalists shows that he is
equally talented as a photographer and writer. Showcasing
black-and-white photographs and fifty short essays, "Shooting from
the Hip "portrays Oklahoma's people, animals, lifestyles,
landscapes, and weather in all their diversity. Cowboys, kids,
tornados, trucks, rattlesnakes, fiddlers--J. Don Cook has seen them
all, and through his poignant essays, he allows us not only to see
them but to understand them as he does.
After a hardscrabble boyhood, Cook became a photographer at the
age of twenty when he took a job with the "Ada Evening News" in
southern Oklahoma. His first assignment was to photograph six
abandoned puppies at the city dump--an apt foreshadowing of his
career, for he has always been drawn to the poor, the
disenfranchised, and the downtrodden.
In addition to the brief essays that accompany his photographs,
Cook shares some of his own life experiences in a moving
introduction and epilogue. His unsparing account of some of the
worst moments of his difficult youth and his meditations on how he
used these hardships to become an artist can only be called
inspirational. "At seven I didn't know any better," he writes, "and
believed I had few choices. But I quickly learned to cope--to
feint, to dodge, to hide, to read, to run, to survive, to make
art--and I did it all, shooting from the hip."
J. Don Cook, a resident of Oklahoma City, is an award-winning
photojournalist, artist, poet, and business entrepreneur. Nominated
three times for a Pulitzer Prize and named News Photographer of the
Year seven times by the Oklahoma Press Association, his photographs
have appeared in such magazines as National Geographic and Time.
James Garner, the acclaimed film and television actor, is best
known for his leading roles in the television series Maverick and
the The Rockford Files. He is a native of Norman, Oklahoma.
