Seemingly anti-social Manny a woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano) acts as if he just wants to be left alone. When he meets Sid (voiced by John Leguizamo) a sloth the two become unlikely traveling companions. The plot thickens when the duo finds a human infant and decides to try to return the child to its herd. Manny slowly but surely reveals his heart of gold while Sid continues to provide comic relief. Diego (voiced by Denis Leary) a saber-tooth tiger with ulterior motives soon joins them in their search for the humans. Ultimately this group of misfits becomes its own herd learning about friendship and loyalty as they brave snow ice freezing temperatures predators hail and even boiling lava pits. All the while a saber-tooth squirrel Scrat provides comic relief as he valiantly struggles with an acorn. A well-written humorous script and endearing characters mesh well with the state-of-the-art technology and effects. Other stars lending their voices to the feature include Goran Visnjic Jack Black and Jane Krakowski.

Unfortunately Ginger plans to get everyone out at the same time and when one of the would-be escapees happens to be kind-hearted but bird-brained Babs (Jane Horrocks) Ginger is fighting a losing battle.

As she contemplates her next escape attempt with Scottish engineering genius Mac (Lynn Ferguson) Ginger sees their salvation in the form of a rooster named Rocky (Mel Gibson) if the cocksure Rocky can teach all of the hens how to fly then they can all fly out of Tweedy's clutches before she gives them the chop.

• I'm Alan Partridge--The Complete Series | DVD | (08/10/2001) from £8.04   |  Saving you £11.95 (148.63%)   |  RRP £19.99

  I'm Alan Partridge finds Steve Coogan's media creation back in his native Norwich, having lost his beloved chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You, and now reduced to the pre-Breakfast slot playing old T'Pau and Soft Cell singles to an audience of farmers and all-night bakery workers. He's also lodged at the Linton Travel tavern, whose permanently smiling manageress, bland decor and themed buffets are redolent of what vast tracts of England have become. He's very much at home there. While there's much media satire in Partridge's pitiful pitches of programme ideas to the BBC ("Inner city sumo? Monkey tennis?"), I'm Alan Partridge is more a bleakly hilarious take on Modern Middle English Man, irascible and profoundly bored. Between innumerable moments of high, wild comedy, such as a disastrous video Partridge does for a boating agency and an encounter with his one (insane) fan, the most telling moments of the series come with his efforts to fill his dismally empty days, taking a trouser press to pieces, staring at the astro turf at an owl sanctuary or walking to a service station to buy windscreen cleaning fluid just for something to do. All this proved a little too darkly uncomfortable for mainstream audiences--yet Alan Partridge was probably the finest British comic creation of the 1990s. --David Stubbs

• Vivaldi: The Four Seasons | DVD | (30/09/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Birds sing and all is well in the huge glass dome of the National Botanical Garden of Wales in this visual performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Here we have fine, stylistically middle-of-the-road readings from the young and talented Julia Fischer and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. It's remarkable to discover that this is her first recording, so assured does she seem, and so at ease in front of the camera. But how do you add visual spice to a work that is so well known? Well, the answer here is two-fold. For a start, the soloist gets a new outfit for each season (though the poor old orchestra are dressed in what looks like Hessian sacking), and the lighting is done with sensitivity--"Winter" is most affectingly set in a darkened dome. Second, there is a neat "Director's Cut" option, featuring the same performance but with different visuals. While the camera returns frequently to the action inside the glass house, it's complemented by scenes of visual beauty (not always nature's own): dew on a spider's web, playful fountains, meadows of wild flowers. The effect is thoroughly pastoral, but was it a good idea to record this work complete with trickling water and a leitmotiv of tweeting birds? Perhaps not. However, if you can get round these distractions, the performance itself is eminently recommendable. On the DVD: The Four Seasons, as usual with Opus Arte DVDs, is generously filled with extras. As well as two complete performances of the work, there's a 13-minute interview with Julia Fischer (charming but relatively unenlightening) and "Favourite Seasons", a man in the street-type survey of the public's favourite times of year. Fischer adds her own comments to this but it's probably something that will pall after a single viewing. The surround sound recording is excellent and superbly balanced, and the visuals are a delight: sharp and in pristine colour. --Harriet Smith
