Swing Kids isn't as bad as its reputation implies by a long shot, but it's too riddled with compromise to really work. The Nazis' vicious repression of jazz and swing music is a great story crying out to be told, but Disney really wasn't the studio to tell it. Hints of a better film abound and it does edge into some dark corners, but the need for an upbeat ending to a downbeat story does the film few favors, and nor does the fact that the period jive and dancing tend to sound and look very silly indeed far too often - certainly Robert Sean Leonard's angst-ridden solo dance of rebellion at the end is an unintentional comic highlight.

No extras but a decent 1.85:1 widescreen transfer.

DVD : Tanamera - Box Set [1989]
A tale of forbidden love set against the backdrop of pre-WW2 Singapore. The star-crossed lovers are of different races (English and Chinese) and come from rival business clans. What I found so engaging in this mini-series is the how the two lovers battle with their respective social and cultural differences against a love which refused to be extinguished by time and circumstance. The mini-series excellently portrays the conflict of how both races have their own prejudices against the other as their fortune is enthwined with the future of Singapore.
