Cayden BoydThe Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (Blu-ray + DVD Combo)

Know how many times I’ve watched this movie? Toooo many. My kid loves it.

My son is obsessed with this old movie & we love that we could purchase it where he could watch it when he wants to!

For $10 you get the regular and the 3D version! It’s great and came super fast. If you read this before buying I recommend adding some reusable 3D glasses to your shopping cart for the kids and family!

My kids watched this now the grandkid is loving it

Really good children's movie. My 10 yr old loved it.

My kids love this movie. I am just now writing a review. It's been years. My girls talk about this movie all the time. It didn't come broken....I do remeber that part. LOL!!!

My kid wanted to rent this movie, he loves it

Who doesn't love shark boy and lava girl it's a great classic

Caratula rota, aplastada en una esquina.

I didn't take to Spy kids 3D as I have a lazy eye and so the 3D effects were literally a pain - I liked the film otherwise though. Fortunately the 3D effects in Shark boy and Lava Girl seemed far less annoying at the cinema and the fast moving film was great fun for my son (9) and I - mum and daughter didn't want to see it - they Nanny McFee'd instead. The film is essentially one long fantasy day dream sequence that merges with reality (and as its complete fiction anyway it hardly matters whether the action is 'real' or imagined). Although having a very similar feel, the storyline in this film is probably a bit stronger and more original than Spy Kids 3D - which was rather like TRON and Scooby Doo & the cyber chase (no bad thing actually). Shark boy's not unlike the 60's 'The Phantom Tollbooth' in a way or a 1980's Dr Who serial, but the special effects are naturally first rate.I must say that, although always visually startling and stylish, it does get a bit repetitive towards the end for adults, but my son really loves it and has happily re-watched the film a few times already (and that is rare with most of his DVDs). I suppose the plot is a bit childish (hardly surprising being written by one for others), but the early part of the film is really good, particularly the first few minutes recounting the genesis of sharkboy. Besides many movies these days have a "beat up the little vampires first and take out the big bad super vampire at the end' plot, so this is a tiny bit different - although it's still the cosmic battle between good and evil. I'm not going to give away any of the plot though.Despite the 3D glasses, overall I found the film very entertaining. Fortunately this DVD has both the 3D cinema version and the 2D normal version. In fact my son also prefers watching the 2D version on TV and he rarely goes for the 3D version unless it's with his mates and popcorn. You get a his (shark boy) and hers (lava girl) set of green/red 3D glasses included. So if you have a preteen boy about the place who missed this at the cinema, get this for him now - he'll thank you for it. So childish, but highly recommended.

Lo malo es que solo tiene audio en inglés y subtitulos en español (no hay idioma español latino ni castellano)

Little kids will live this movie, the sequel of sorts is my kid's favorite movie so I tracked this down. There is very little in common between the two but I guess when you are 4 years old none of that matters

A friend lent us this film with a 'must watch' recommendation and my 4,6 and 8 year old absolutely loved it. We had to buy our own version in the end as after 2 weeks they still didn't want to give it back. It's up there in their favourite top 3 films ever. It's one of those films you'll watch time and time again and it's interesting enough for adults to sit through.It is visually stunning. The bright colours and action of the computer generated scenes are way different to anything I've seen before and the story of a young boy struggling with all the day to day problems associated with parents, school, bullies, teachers etc will hit a cord with any primary school age child.This 3D version comes with 2 pairs of pink glasses and 2 pairs of blue glasses. They are the standard flimsy cardboard type but in the film the boy hero gets to wear the pink ones too so my children loved joining in. In the 3D version you do not need to wear the glasses all the time. There are 'glasses on' and 'glasses off' messages on the screen. It is mainly in the fantasy scenes with Sharkboy and Lavagirl they need to be worn. The fantasy aspect of the film really utilises the 3D glasses. Lava rocks coming towards you etc.There normal film version without the 3D is also available on this disk and now the novelty of the glasses has worn off this is the version my childen watch most.The characters in this film are really cool and modern. In many ways this is like an ultra modern updated 'Never Ending Story' film. There is some clever dialogue and it is a superb riot of imagination let loose on the screen. If you are a daydreamer or have kids with fantastic imaginations buy this, you won't be disappointed.This is absolutely a must see film for children.
