Collection of four children's animated features. In 'Home On the
Range' (2004), when an eviction notice goes up at the Little Piece
of Heaven family-run dairy farm, notorious yodelling outlaw cattle
rustler Alameda Slim (voice of Randy Quaid) sees his big chance to
claim it for himself. However, he hasn't counted on three
resourceful dairy cows, old-timer Mrs Calloway (Judi Dench),
tough-talking Maggie (Roseanne Barr) and gentle Grace (Jennifer
Tilly), who enlist the help of the other farm animals to track down
Slim and use the ransom on his head to save their beloved farm. But
the bovine trio have another enemy to contend with - ruthless
bounty hunter Rico (Charles Dennis) is also after the reward for
capturing Slim. 'G-Force' (2009) follows a team of secret agent
guinea pigs who have been trained in espionage techniques and armed
with the latest high-tech spy equipment in order to take on a
covert mission for the US government. The team, known by code name
'G-Force', includes ambitious squad leader Darwin (Sam Rockwell),
fearless weapons expert Blaster (Tracy Morgan) and lithe martial
arts genius Juarez (Penélope Cruz). Also along for the ride is
Darwin's housefly sidekick Mooch and computer whiz Speckles
(Nicolas Cage), a star-nosed mole. Can the gang prevent an evil
billionaire from taking over the world with a dastardly plan
involving household appliances? In 'The Wild' (2006) an odd
assortment of animals from the New York Zoo discover what a jungle
the city can be when one of their own is mistakenly shipped to the
wild. When an adolescent lion (Greg Cipes) is accidentally shipped
from the zoo to Africa, his pals, including Samson the lion (Kiefer
Sutherland), Benny the squirrel (James Belushi), Bridget the
giraffe (Janeane Garofalo), Larry the anaconda (Richard Kind),
Kazar the wildebeest (William Shatner) and Nigel the koala bear
(Eddie Izzard), must put aside their differences to help bring him
back. In 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua' (2008), when pampered Beverly
Hills chihuahua Chloe (Drew Barrymore) gets lost while holidaying
in Mexico, she is forced to rely on the kindness of various dogs
she befriends as she tries to get home before she is captured by a
villainous dognapper. Also in pursuit of Chloe is male chihuahua
Papi (George Lopez), who is in love with her, and evil Doberman
Diablo (Edward James Olmos), who has his eye on her valuable
diamond collar.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
"The prose is fresh and energetic, the story-telling superb, and
the writing comes out as raw and terrifying as an exposed nerve."
New York Times Aaron Platt has spent every day of his life breaking
his back to scrape a living from the rocky, played-out fields of
the Adirondack farm he inherited from his sadistic father. One
winter morning, he follows footprints in the snow to his barn and
discovers a man freezing to death in a horse stall. What unfolds
between the two men, past and present, is a brisk, gritty depiction
of crime and punishment. But their harrowing story is more than
that, exposing the shocking hypocrisy of the people who live in the
nearby, bucolic town-a legacy of hatred that reaches back to the
violent founding of the nation. This literary masterpiece, back in
print for the first time in over 60 years, includes a new Afterword
by Jack Mearns, author of John Sanford: An Annotated Bibliography
"A first-rate story of violence and congealed hate." New Republic
"The story is electrifying." Saturday Review of Literature "A
brief, fast book, and those pages are terse. Sanford has injected
the drama of spilled blood that made America." Los Angeles Times
"An unusual book with some brilliant pieces of writing, exceeding
Celine and Faulkner in depravity and language." Kirkus Reviews

"Sanford is a supreme master at squeezing the last drop of terror
and excitement out of a sordid, savage situation. The story sweeps
along with an ugly force that will send sensitive souls in search
of smelling salts." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A trio of vicious World
War One veterans descend on the farm in the Adirondack mountains
where one of them grew up and his father now lives alone. They
embark on happily wreaking drunken havoc at the old man's place and
in the nearby town. But when a naive, mail-order bride arrives, she
ignites a tinderbox of resentment, lust, and betrayal among the men
that explodes in brutal depravity, bloody violence and shocking
death. This hard-boiled, literary masterpiece, back in print for
the first time in sixty years, includes a new introduction by Jack
Mearns, author of John Sanford: An Annotated Bibliography
Previously published as The Hard Guys and filmed as the 1971 motion
picture My Old Man's Place. "A robust tale of violence, lust,
treachery and murder" Columbus Dispatch "A good, exciting story
told with menacing simplicity." Baltimore Sun "A first-rate piece
of swift-moving and dramatic story-telling in restrained and
effective modern American prose." New York Times "In an era of
brutal fiction, The Old Man's Place will take a prize for
brutality. Sanford writes well. He has a talent for it. He is
vivid, realistic, skillful, dramatic." Cleveland Plain Dealer
