While Blazing Saddles is deliriously funny, most people call it deliriously funnier, thanks to this special, extras-packed 30th-Anniversary Edition.
Filmmaker, star and paddle-ball wiz Mel Brooks goes way out West and way out of his mind with a spiffy spoof set in an 1874 Old West where 1974 Hollywood is just one soundstage away - and where nonstop fun blasts prejudices to the high comedy heavens.
Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn and more join for horseplay and horselaughs.
King Roland of the planet Druidia is trying to marry his daughter Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) to Prince Valium, but Vespa is kidnapped by the evil race of the Spaceballs. The Spaceballs ask Roland a tremendous ransom: all the air of Druidia (you see, the air of Spaceball had serious pollution problems). The King decides to offer a generous amount of money to a space rogue, Lone Starr, to persuade him to save Vespa. What follows is the parody of A LOT of famous Science Fiction movies.

Cleavon Little plays an escaped black convict who ends up being
given the poison chalice job of the new Rockridge Sheriff by
scheming railroad developer and politician Hedley LaMarr (Harvey
Korman). Notionally sent in to protect the ungrateful Rockridge
community from marauding gangs, his only ally turns out to be
alcoholic former gunslinger The Waco Kid (Gene Wilder). Though
initially expressing racial prejudice the townsfolk eventually
adopt the Sheriff to help them outwit Hedley LaMarr, deciding to
construct an exact replica of their town to fool the invading
posse. The film descends into postmodern chaos as the action spills
out of the film set into wider Hollywood.
Young Frankenstein was made with deep respect for the craft and
history of cinema-and for the power of a good schwanzstucker joke.

ingenious talking dog and his human sidekick attempt to avert
disaster. Mr. Peabody (voice of Ty Burrell) has the achievements to

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).
