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.

This warm, witty play is an ideal alternative to the usual Christmas fare with original lyrics set to the tunes of Christmas carols.

R103 Discovery Miles 1 030 Ships in 10 - 25 working days

British romantic comedy starring Rufus Hound and Robert Webb. Raif (Hound), an endearingly shambolic buffoon with a questionable sense of humour, is asked to be best man at the wedding of his brother, Tim (Robert Webb), to the socially aspirant Saskia (Lucy Punch). His gift to the happy couple, he decides, will be a video of their wedding - but little does he realise he will capture such monstrosities of consumerism and social snobbery as are effected by the coiffured, manicured Cheshire set to which Saskia - and now, it seems, Raif's once-bohemian and now unrecognisable brother - belong.

Three households have agreed to hold a 'safari party' - a dinner party, with each course served in a different house. The hors d'oeuvres are served by Daniel and Adam, young brothers whose abusive father was recently shot dead, the entrees by Lol and Esther, upwardly-mobile and vulgar, and the desserts by Inga, a seemingly benign antiques dealer.

The End of the Food Chain (Paperback): Tim Firth The End of the Food Chain (Paperback)
Tim Firth
R384 Discovery Miles 3 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This play focuses on the animal shift at Kale Moor grocery distribution depot. Under the imaginative guidance of Bruce "The Gamesmaster", work here is an endless round of food sports, (sprout tag, smartie-and-flan-base tiddly winks, frozen fish swordfighting) sarcasm and juvenille humour, much enjoyed by the all-male night-shift workers. But a major change is due, for their new colleague is not a born-games player but is - even worse - a woman, who can see through the childish antics of the men to the insecurities and weaknesses beneath. At first, relations are reasonably civilized, but the gloves come off when the cerebral challenge of murder-mystery role-playing is presented to the team, and there are surprises in store for all of them. From the author of "Neville's Island".

When Annie's husband John dies of leukaemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow WI members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The news of the women's charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie's friendship is put to the test under the strain of their new-found fame. Based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukaemia Research Fund, Calendar Girls opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre and has since become the fastest selling play in British theatre history. "It's marvellous theatre, guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and come out singing Jerusalem." - Mail on Sunday "Dazzlingly funny, shamele

Sign of the Times (Paperback): Tim Firth Sign of the Times (Paperback)
Tim Firth
R382 Discovery Miles 3 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This title features M2, a ledge, and an office. Frank is an aspiring spy novelist and Head of Installation at Forshaws, a commercial lettering factory. Alan is his reluctant teenage trainee, more interested in listening to music and designing album artwork for his band "Lizard" than Frank's beloved bracketing systems. As they attempt to install the company name in giant letters on the side of its building, it soon becomes clear that the letters are supposed to read "For Sale" instead of "Forshaws" - the company is relocating and Frank will be out of a job. In the second act, three years have passed and Alan is a jaded manager at an electrical goods store to which Frank has been sent for work experience as part of a benefit scheme. Their roles have been reversed, but when a burnt pitta bread triggers a fire alert, Frank and Alan find themselves back in familiar territory and holding the key to each other's salvation. "Sign of the Times" is a full-length comedy based on the author's one-act play "A Man of Letters". It starred Matthew Kelly as Frank at London's Duchess Theatre in March 2011. It features Frank, fifty-something, and Alan, late teens.

Helen Mirren and Julia Walters star in this British comedy based on a true story. Two middle-aged best friends, Chris Harper (Mirren) and Annie Clarke (Walters), are also members of a North Yorkshire Women's Institute group. When Annie's husband (John Alderton) is diagnosed with leukemia, they decide to try and raise money for a new leukemia unit in the local hospital. But they don't go down the usual W.I. route. Instead they hit on the idea of a calendar with an extra twist and craft a tastefully nude calendar featuring the ladies' usual activities of baking, gardening and flower arranging. The calendar quickly becomes a best-seller and the women then find themselves on their way to Hollywood.
