Here's what they have to say for themselves: Watch the second half of MAD Season 1! The new animated sketch-comedy series from Warner Bros. Animation, inspired by the iconic MAD magazine, pulls back the curtain and exposes the sordid truth behind movies, TV shows, games and of course, curtains. This is not a typical animation show; MAD Magazine comes to life in this satirical animated sketch show. Each episode is a collection of animated parodies of movies, games, TV shows, celebrities, and other media using various types of animation.

01.17.12 by Widge @ 5:38 pm Comments on this: 2. Add your own.  It's The Dead, one of the best slow zombie movies I've seen in recent memory. We originally told you about it here. We also interviewed co-writer and co-director Howard J. Ford. And now I'm pleased to say it's hitting DVD and Blu-Ray from Anchor Bay. Here's what they have to say for themselves: The first horror film entirely filmed in Africa, The Dead takes the zombie legend back to its original roots and has justly been hailed as "superbly crafted...it's a knockout" by the Village Voice, "one of the finest zombie films I've ever seen" by the Horror Channel, Bloody-Disgusting declared it "one of the most buzzed-about films of the year." Anchor Bay Entertainment proudly announces the February 14th Blu-ray™ and DVD release of The Dead, the critically acclaimed horror film that wowed both audiences and critics worldwide. SRP is $26.98 for the DVD, and $29.99 for the Blu-ray™. Pre-book is January 18th.
When the last flight out of war-torn Africa crashes off the coast, Lt. Brian Murphy (Rob Freeman) is the sole survivor in a land where the dead are returning to life and attacking the living. On the run in a hostile and inhospitable parched landscape, Murphy has to use his wits and ingenuity if he is to get home alive to his family. When he crosses paths with local solider Daniel Dembele (Prince David Osei), a man frantically searching for his son, they join forces. Two desperate men from two very different cultures fight side-by-side to survive across the incredible vistas of Africa as the world around them succumbs to the deadliest of viruses.

Here's what they have to say for themselves: Perfect for celebrating Black History Month and learning about stories from the African tradition, Scholastic Storybook Treasures™ presents five stories on DVD, two of which have never before been released: "Not So Fast Songololo" and "Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters" In the title tale "Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears" -- a Caldecott Medal winner and West African origin story from author Verna Ardema and illustrators Leo and Diane Dillon -- a mosquito lies to a lizard, who puts sticks in his ears and ends up frightening another animal, which down a long line causes a panic. In the end, an owlet is killed and the owl is too sad to wake the sun until the animals hold court and find out who is responsible. The mosquito is eventually found out, but hides in order to escape punishment. So now, it constantly buzzes in people's ears to find out if everyone is still angry at it. Other stories include "Hot Hippo" and "The Village of Round and Square Houses", and the DVD includes Scholastic's ever-popular read-along function.
The original stories have won the prestigious Caldecott Medal Award, the Horn Book Fanfare Award, and more. Combined, the original books have sold more than 150,000 copies. The Scholastic Storybook Treasures DVDs consistently win awards from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Parents' Choice, NAPPA and other organizations. Categorized as: Contests
