Summary:
Matilda: Matilda is a super-smart little girl who is woefully ignored and ridiculed by her self-centered parents. They send her to a school with a mean, bullying principal, where she learns she has special powers that can help her, her friends, and her kind and gentle teacher. Jumanji: When young Alan Parrish discovers a mysterious board game, he doesn't realize its unimaginable powers, until he is magically transported before the startled eyes of his friend, Sarah, into the untamed jungles of Jumanji! There he remains for 26 years until he is freed from the game's spell by two unsuspecting children. Now a grown man, Alan reunites with Sarah and together with Judy and Peter tries to outwit the game's powerful forces. The Sandlot: Fifth-grader Scotty Smalls has just moved into town with his parents. The local kids call him a Dork because he can't even throw a baseball. That changes when the leader of the neighborhood gang recruits him to play on the nearby sandlot field. It's the beginning of a magical summer of baseball, wild adventures, first kisses, and fearsome confrontations with the dreaded Beast and its owner who live behind the left field fence. Soon nine boys have become best friends, Scotty is part of a team, and their leader has become a local legend. Free Willy: Captured at sea and confined in a small tank at an aquatic park, Willy is an unhappy and unpredictable attraction. No one understands Willy, except a scruffy street kid named Jesse, who knows what it's like to be without a family. Together these two form a special bond, one so strong that they're willing to risk it all to find a way home. Space Jam: Michael Jordan must play basketball against space invaders that are trying to capture the Looney Tunes characters. Special features include commentary, two music videos, and four Looney Tunes.
