"Kung Fu Panda"
The furry hero with Jack Black's voice proves that chubbiness is no impediment to heroic deeds. The animated action comedy features the voices of Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Dustin Hoffman among the gang of good guys, martial-arts fighters taking on an evil foe with help from a klutzy panda (Black) who somehow lands the gig as the prophesied "Dragon Warrior." The movie is available in a single-disc DVD or in a two-disc set packed with a companion volume, "Secrets of the Furious Five," in which our panda hero teaches a class of kung fu students. Other extras on the DVD and Blu-ray releases include commentary and instructional activities for kids ranging from how to draw the characters to how to use chopsticks. "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
Ron Perlman returns as the demon spawn who was meant to bring doom to Earth but instead was raised by a good foster father and winds up fighting on the good side among a team of oddball superheroes. The sequel has Perlman's red, brawny Hellboy, along with co-stars Selma Blair and Doug Jones, taking on a human-hating elf aiming to unleash a mythical mechanical army on the world. Single- and three-disc DVD releases along with a two-disc Blu-ray set come with deleted scenes, a segment on creating the bizarre look and creatures of the movie's underground "Troll Market," and two separate commentaries featuring director Guillermo del Toro, Blair and other cast members. The Blu-ray set and three-disc DVD release also include an introduction from del Toro. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars"
As a prelude to the animated TV series that just debuted, the George Lucas "Star Wars" machine unleashes this big-screen cartoon chronicling a new adventure set in the time between episodes two and three of the live-action prequels. Single- and two-disc DVD editions and the Blu-ray release feature filmmaker commentary. The Blu-ray disc and two-disc DVD set also come with four deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes looks at the animated series, the voice cast at work and the musical-scoring session. "The General"
Buster Keaton rides the rails again in a DVD update of his 1927 silent classic, in which the stone-faced director and star plays a Southern railroad engineer trying to foil a plot by Union Army operatives who hijack his train to disrupt Confederate supply lines. The two-disc set features a newly mastered version of the film. Viewers can choose three different musical scores to accompany the film. Extras include old introductions to the movie from Gloria Swanson and Orson Welles, and a montage of train stunts from Keaton's films. TV on DVD
