<br />
In 2015 Disney will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of <i>Pinocchio</i>,
Walt’s second and most critically acclaimed feature film. This book,
created in conjunction with the Walt Disney Family Foundation, presents
an in-depth exploration of the making of the film, with
never-before-published art and behind-the-scenes stories from the inner
workings of the Golden Age of Animation.<br /><br />In 1940, Walt Disney released his second feature film: <i>Pinocchio</i>,
based on Carlo Collodi’s 1883 Italian children’s novel. It became the
first animated feature to win a competitive Academy Award (in fact, it
won two), and is now considered one of the finest Disney films ever
made, even earning a place on the roster of the National Film Registry.<br /> <br /> To celebrate the film’s 75th anniversary, J.B. Kaufman—author of <i>The Fairest One of All: The Making of Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</i>—presents
a complete history of the making of Pinocchio, from source material to
rerelease. The film was groundbreaking in many areas, from achievements
in animation and sound effects to establishing a pattern for Disney
filmmaking that survives to this day. In this book, we learn everything
from the story changes to the animators’ personalities to the reason the
iconic Jiminy Cricket almost didn’t make it in the film, alongside over
300 photographs, illustrations, and concept sketches, many never before
available to the public. <br /> <br /> Join for the wild, legendary ride that was the making of <i>Pinocchio</i>.<br />

The seven dreaded gateways to hell are concealed in seven cursed places... <br />
And on the day the gates of hell are opened, the dead will walk the earth! <br />

From legendary Italian horror master Lucio Fulci comes the ultimate
classic of supernatural terror. A cursed hotel, built over one of the
seven gateways to hell, becomes a malevolent abyss that begins devouring
both the bodies and the souls of all who enter in a graphic frenzy of
gory crucifixions, brutal chain-whippings, eyeball impalements,
sulphuric acid meltdowns, flesh-eating tarantulas, throat-shredding
demon dogs and ravenous bloodthirsty zombies. THE BEYOND is a towering
achievement in hair-raising, mind-bending cinematic terror! <br />

<br />
<div class="productDescriptionWrapper">
With this passion project, screenwriter-producer-director Martin
Rosen brilliantly achieved what was thought difficult, if not
impossible: a faithful big-screen adaptation of Richard Adams’s classic
British dystopian novel about a community of rabbits seeking safety and
happiness after their warren comes under terrible threat. With its
naturalistic hand-drawn animation, dreamily expressionistic touches,
gorgeously bucolic background design, and elegant voice work from such
superb English actors as John Hurt (The Elephant Man), Ralph Richardson (<i>The Fallen Idol</i>), Richard Briers (<i>Much Ado About Nothing</i>), and Denholm Elliott (<i>Raiders of the Lost Ark</i>), <i>Watership Down</i> is an emotionally arresting, dark-toned allegory about freedom amid political turmoil.

Out March 18, 2015<br />
<br />
Loosely chronological, <i>Wonder Woman</i> explores idiosyncratic
creator William Moulton Marston's interest in ideas of a "new woman" for
the twentieth century; costume and character story changes over the
decades; the influence on all other female comic book characters since
her inception; and how Wonder Woman is still powerful and relevant in
today's comic book renaissance. The book contains more than 250 Wonder
Woman illustrations, including covers, interior comic art, and sketch
treatments, beginning with her inception in the early 1940s to
present-day treatments of the character. Celebrated artists include Alex
Ross, Jim Lee, George Perez, and Brian Bolland, to name only a few. The
book will also feature rare covers and pin-up posters created for past
special-edition comic books. <i>Wonder Woman</i> is certain to appeal to fanboys and fangirls, collectors, and newcomers to the comic book genre alike.<br />

This is the story of legendary record
producer Rick Hall and his historic role in the development of the
world-famous “Muscle Shoals sound.”<br /><br />Rick Hall made music history
when he founded FAME Recording Studios, the first professional recording
studio in the entire state of Alabama. After producing and engineering
the area’s first national hit on Arthur Alexander’s Southern Soul
classic “You Better Move On,” Rick went on to earn international fame
and eventually a Grammy for a lifetime of achievements.<br /><br />In the
days when Martin Luther King Jr. was marching for freedom, Rick proved
to be a civil rights pioneer through his music. His records helped
introduce white audiences to the black music market and black audiences
to the white music market.<br /><br />From the moment “You Better Move On”
hit the charts, record executives literally flocked to Muscle Shoals for
Rick to produce and engineer a mind-boggling array of major artists,
from Aretha Franklin to Bobbie Gentry, from the Osmonds to Alabama. His
astonishing production abilities were matched by his incredible
versatility.<br /><br />Music fans, history buffs, and others delight to
these fascinating tales of just how Rick Hall managed to launch the
music careers of so many famous artists.</div>

<br />
Shadows In The Night is Bob Dylan's newest studio album, and marks the
first new music from the artist since 2012's worldwide hit Tempest.
Featuring ten tracks, the Jack Frost-produced album is the 36th studio
set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since
2012's worldwide hit Tempest. <br />
<br />
Regarding the repertoire on this
album, Bob Dylan commented, "It was a real privilege to make this album.
I've wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never
brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine
them down for a 5-piece band. That's the key to all these performances.
We knew these songs extremely well. It was all done live. Maybe one or
two takes. No overdubbing. No vocal booths. No headphones. No separate
tracking, and, for the most part, mixed as it was recorded. I don't see
myself as covering these songs in any way. They've been covered enough.
Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is
uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into
the light of day." <br />

<br />
Travel where no man has gone before with this decade-by-decade
progression of science-fiction classics. From the classic, low-budget
space exploration Flash Gordon tales of the Saturday matinee serials, to
the slick CGI-realized world of The Matrix, science-fiction films have
long been pushing the boundaries of the visually and dramatically
fantastic—turning the known world on its head, playing with the laws of
physics, and all the while holding their audience spellbound. The
Science Fiction Universe . . . and Beyond offers a breadth of knowledge,
insight, and passion to a century of close encounters, black holes,
time travel, distant planets, impossible quests, nuclear war, futuristic
technology, inexplicable forces, spaceships, extraordinary monsters,
and subterranean societies. Arranged chronologically, showing the
progression of sci-fi over the decades, and delving into interesting
back stories and trivia, this volume includes a variety of classic films
and television shows, such as The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951),
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), The Twilight Zone (1959–1964),
Doctor Who (1963–1989), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), A Clockwork Orange
(1971), Star Wars, Episode IV—A New Hope (1977), Alien (1979), E.T.:
The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Star Trek: The Next Generation
(1987–1994), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Stargate SG-1
(1997–2007), Battlestar Galactica (2004–2009), and many others. <br />

<br />
Freedom Highway Complete is a newly remixed, remastered and expanded
edition of the live concert masterpiece recorded by the Staple Singers
in April 1965 in support and celebration of that year's historic civil
rights marches from Montgomery to Selma, Alabama.<br /><br />Featuring
previously unreleased performances, the spiritually uplifting service,
"Pops" Staples' Intro and Outro and more, Freedom Highway Complete puts
the listener right in the church, with the Staples, the choir, the band,
and the congregation for a once-in-a-lifetime event.<br /><br />First
released on Epic Records as an LP in 1965, the original Freedom Highway
album, constrained by the time limits of 12" vinyl, edited the New
Nazareth Missionary Baptist Church concert and service down to key
performance tracks. The new Legacy edition marks the first-ever release
of the full concert and service.<br />

<br />
Saddle up for a small-screen spin on a classic Western tale with <b><i>Shane: The Complete Series</i></b>, starring <b>David Carradine</b> (<i>Kung Fu, Bound For Glory</i>) as a mysterious gunfighter who seeks peace, only to be drawn into the violence of the range wars.<br />
Based
on the 1949 novel by Jack Schaefer, which was translated into over
thirty languages and inspired the award-winning 1953 film, <i>Shane</i>
presents an expanded upon the well-known story that also honors the
spirit of the source material. Over the course of the series' seventeen
episodes, Shane takes on the responsibility of protecting the Starrett
homestead from cattleman Rufe Ryker (<b>Bert Freed</b>)-and soon the stoic gunman finds himself forming a deep personal bond with the Starrett family itself.<br />
Originally airing in 1966, this production also stars <b>Jill Ireland</b> and <b>Christopher Shea.</b> <i> Shane: The Complete Series</i> is a fascinating curiosity that Western fans will want to come back to-- again and again.<br />
