This is one DVD you might want to consider for Christmas this year if you are or know of a Michael Jackson fan. Any fan of this remarkable performer would love Moonwalker. It's a captivating, musical, feature length adventure. It mixes Michaels Jackson's greatest videos with special clips from his early days in the Jackson 5. It includes extraordinary and exceptional glimpses of a wild adventure film written by Michael Jackson himself illustrating the creative and musical mind he had. There is plenty of singing and dancing and visually it is very impressive.

Mamma Mia Sing a Long Edition

You can barely resist the urge to get up and dance and sing to this funny, upbeat and heartwarming film. Meryl Streep plays mother to (Amanda Seyfried's) Sophie, a twenty year old on the brink of marrying. Upset that she doesn't know who her father is she finds her mum's old diary and through that invites three possible suitors to the beautiful Greek island where they live. Fantastic scenery, a great cast and some of the very best Abba songs to sing a long too, you just can't go past this DVD.

It's packed with some wonderful Christmas songs, many of which are the traditional ones we all hear at this time of year. The Wiggles have also included some great new Wiggly Christmas songs as well. Travel around the world with the Wiggles while they greet everyone in their own languages with 'Merry Christmas.' And discover who enjoys Christmas in the sun and sand and who enjoys it in the snow and ice.

Cats/Jesus Christ Superstar/Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

All these award winning productions by the very talented Andrew Lloyd Webber come together in a three disc deluxe collection. Cat's is based on fourteen poems from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot and stars Elaine Paige and Sir John Mills. This spectacular stage show is intoxicating and magical. Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera that tells the story of Christ's final weeks. It's a bold and epic production shot entirely on location in Israel.
