Advantages: Great suspense and decent plot Disadvantages: Feels very dated and some of the effects are laughable
something completely unexpected happens. Now I know some people prefer to be frightened by seeing blood and guts, but for me being made to jump out of my seat by the unexpected is a much better thrill. Saying that, the film does use a certain amount of visual gore but nothing like today's movies and in some ways this element looks quite tame. This is where one of the problems lies with "Christine" as it is now nearly 25 years old and whilst the plot and suspense is still brilliant, the effects do look pretty dated. One such example is when the car manages to miraculously restore itself after being completely wrecked by the school bullies, you can tell how it has been done and is quite laughable compared to today's big budget CGI effects, but in some ways this dated approach actually adds to the films charm and makes it feel much more honest than ...

The show hasn't made it over to the UK yet (as far as I am aware) but if it keeps being such a success, it won't be long in coming.
The background

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with Disadvantages: none so far
especially if they fancy a change of toy than this is ideal.
My little one has had her one now for almost 5 months now and its still in good condition even though it has been dropped a couple of times it is still going strong and looks as good as new. It is made from quite strong material that is sure to last your child for many years to come.
So on this final note I would highly recommend buying this toy for your child especially if they are a big fan of the ever so popular in the night garden TV show. ...
