As Barbie enjoys tremendous success in the direct-to-video market, Mattel hopes to launch another animated franchise based on a popular toyline with My Scene Goes Hollywood. The DVD premiere feature hits shelves along with episodes of Garfield and Friends and The Fairly OddParents.
The My Scene Goes Hollywood voice cast features Lindsay Lohan, who plays herself as she shoots a movie at a coffee shop frequented by the My Scene girls. When the ladies sneak onto the set as extras, Madison is given a speaking roll in the movie and causes some tension in the group dynamic when the glamour of Hollywood goes to her head. Bonus materials include a Barbie personality profile and the interactive features Chelsea’s Celebrity Fashion Finder, Madison’s Superstar Challenge, Nolee’s Movie Memory game and Delancey’s Fave Embarrassing Moments. The Buena Vista Home Entertainment release retails for $19.99.
With a new feature film going into production, the fat tabby makes another home video appearance with Garfield and Friends Volume Four. This three-disc set offers 24 episodes (#73-#96) of the animated series produced by Garfield creator Jim Davis’ Paws Inc. Released by Fox Home Entertainment, the set carries a suggested retail price of $39.98.
The Fairly OddParents: Scary Godparents arrives in time for Halloween with four chilling episodes from Butch Hartman’s hit animated comedy series on Nickelodeon. In the feature presentation, Timmy is having the worst Halloween ever as he finds himself dressed as a mummy in two-ply toilet paper and Trick or Treating with Vicky as his chaperone. However, things get a lot more interesting when he wishes everyone’s costumes were real and has to take on the evil Pumkinators.
The other installments include "Shiny Teeth," "Which Witch Is It," "Timmy’s 2D House of Horror," and the bonus episodes "Genie Meanie Minie Mo" and "Catman Meets the Crimson Chin." The disc is available through Paramount Home Entertainment or around $16.99.
