Page 26 THE VILLADOM TIMES I & III • April 2, 2014 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) and portraying their detailed efforts to accurately reenact history. Bonuses on the Blu-ray release include a behind- the-scenes featurette, San Diego Comic-Con panel, and interviews with cast members. “The Pirate Fairy” (Disney) is the fifth film in Dis- ney’s Tinker Bell series, a character the studio borrowed from its own version of “Peter Pan” and built into a minor franchise. The protagonist is Zarina (voiced by Christina Hendricks), a fairy with a distinctive scientific curios- ity. When her forbidden experiments go amiss and she is exiled from Pixie Hollow, she joins a human pirate gang. She is made captain and soon works her magic to make their ship soar through the air. Tinker Bell (Mae Whit- man) and her glam gal pals pursue Zarina to bring her back into the fold. Clearly, the Disney organization is trying to incorpo- rate every possible element to attract every possible kid, even raiding its “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise to induce boys to come aboard for the pirates’ swashbuck- ling exploits. The animation is undistinguished, without the lush look of the studio’s bigger projects. The Blu-ray/ DVD combo pack contains a featurette on the history of Never Land, deleted scenes, sing-along songs, and a close-up look at the recording of the song “The Frigate That Flies.” “Here’s Lucy: The Complete Series” (MPI) is a 24- disc DVD box set containing all 144 uncut episodes of the CBS-TV sitcom that ran from 1968 to 1974. Initially called “The Lucy Show,” it underwent a title change in September 1968, and a few major cast changes. Lucy (Lucille Ball) had moved to Los Angeles and her last name was changed from Carmichael to Carter. She was still a widow with two children, but they were now named Kim and Craig and were played by her real-life children, Lucie and Desi Arnaz Jr. She worked for the Unique Employ- ment Agency, owned by her brother-in-law, Harrison “Uncle Harry” Carter (Gale Gordon), her blustery, ever- suffering foil. Guest stars included Vivian Vance, Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Andy Griffith, Joan Rivers, Jack Benny, Don Knotts, Eva Gabor, Liberace, Donny Osmond, Joe Namath, Ann- Margret, Wayne Newton, Tony Randall, and Flip Wilson. Extras include episode introductions, Lucille Ball’s home movies, several TV appearances by Lucille Ball, and “Let’s Talk to Lucy” radio shows long thought lost.
