Editorial Reviews

This Special Edition DVD two-disc set includes color enhancement and more than 90 minutes of bonus features, including director and producer(s) commentary, an interview with Bluth, Goldman and Pomeroy, a 10-minute news segment on their departure from Walt Disney Productions, a conversation with Bluth and trailers from their other productions. Winner of the National Film Advisory Board's Award of Excellence for family films and the Golden Scroll Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Films, Banjo the Woodpile Cat is a story about your average young cat, with major growing pains. When one of his pranks backfires, Banjo decides to run away from home instead of facing his parents. He winds up in the big city where he meets cool cats Crazy Legs and Zazu only to discover all that he has left behind. Featuring original music and songs, this delightful tale is heart-warming, animated entertainment for the entire family.

This review is from: Banjo the Woodpile Cat 30th Anniversary Edition 2-Disc DVD (2009) (DVD)

This movie is one that I loved as a child and I know my kids will love. Great movie! All I had ever seen was the cable version, which left out a bit of the beginning, with Banjo's sisters. I was excited to see the "new" stuff that I hadn't seen before!

This review is from: Banjo the Woodpile Cat 30th Anniversary Edition 2-Disc DVD (2009) (DVD)

I been a loyal supporter of Don and his creations since I was a little boy. His fan club was wonderful and fun. I remember waiting for the mailman to bring me my next issue.

Banjo is quite an amazing little short considering the budget constraints and that it was created inside Don's garage.

This dvd completes my entire collection of the work of the wonderful Don Bluth.

I encourage everryone to check out all of Bluths films.

I have an autistic sister who collects all Don Bluth films as her personal hobby, this product came in less than the time projected, and made a little girl very happy this past Christmas
