do you know what exactly is on these videos, something wicked this way comes in particular, because the running time is only 31 minutes, is it the film or is it an educational video on the book?
sorry if this is a stupid question lol i had to ask before i shell out $49 on it,
thanks

I have seen The Electric Grandmother: this is a film starring Maureen Stapleton, based on "I Sing the body Electric". The screenplay was co-written by Bradbury. It's a pretty good adaptation, but I find it a bit sickly sweet. The Magic Lantern website seems to be offering two versions, the full version and a 30min version. I have only seen the full version.

"All Summer" and "The Invisible Boy" are, I believe, made by the same company as "Grandmother" (Learning Corporation of America). I haven't seen either of these, but I assume them to be in a similar style to "Grandmother".

As for "Something Wicked", I haven't seen the version on sale at Magic Lantern, but from the description I believe it to be a cut-down version of the feature film (it says the producer is Disney, the makers of the full-length feature film). Quite HOW it has been cut down, I have no idea.

I hope this helps.
