Los Angeles Dodgers Beach Ball

Ironically, the last year of Dodgertown will mark the sixtieth anniversary of the team's relationship with Vero Beach, a sleepy beach town a couple of hours north of Miami. Since 1948, when Branch Rickey first brought his team to a former naval air station for training (the players slept in barracks), the Dodgers have practiced fundamentals in a bucolic setting. Featuring roofless dugouts, a grassy berm surrounding the outfield, and intimate seating for 6,400, Holman Stadium has been home to the Dodgers longer than even famed Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.   Granted special access to the team's archives and personal interviews with players, management, and staff, Rody Johnson offers a fascinating and remarkable history of the sometimes rocky relationship between the city and the team. Beginning with the signing of Jackie Robinson in 1946 and ending with the close of spring training in 2007, The Rise and Fall of Dodgertown traces the changes in baseball and society for more than a half century. It is a story of community, passion, and the beauty of an American sport.

In the year 2772, a meteor of unknown origin collides with the planet Earth, transforming it and some of its inhabitants forever. Included in this transformation are the descendants of the classic Looney Tunes characters, who become super-powered heroes, yet still retain the wacky personalities of their ancestors. The super-charged superheroes are endowed with special skills and a firm sense of justice. Ace Bunny is the team leader with martial arts expertise, Lexi Bunny is an acrobatic expert with excellent hearing, Tech E. Coyote is a weapons expert and strategist, Danger Duck can teleport short distances, Slam Tasmanian is the muscle of the team and Rev Runner can fly and run at super speed.

Looney Tunes characters Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Wile (check sp) E. Coyote and the Tazmanian Devil are heroes of the past in the Loonatics 2772 AD world, but their offspring are a definite threat to be reckoned with thanks to a meteor strike on earth which endowed each of them with special powers. Ace Bunny has infrared laser vision and is a master of martial arts, Danger Duck can teleport himself at will, Tech E. Coyote is a genius inventor of gadgets who can regenerate himself, Slam Tasmanian is one mean tornado, Lexi Bunny sports sonic hearing, and Rev Runner puts the speed of his predecessor Road Runner to shame. Add in a collective determination to protect their home Acmetropolis from the inter-galactic forces of evil and a little guidance from the mysterious Zadavia, and the Loonatics are an invincible force whether pitted against Viking-filled icebergs, scientists with a fascination for genetic oddities, cute little bio-pets turned monsters, or a greedy larger-than-life thief. What remains to be seen is whether the Loonatics can prevail on the day of "Acmegeddon" when five of their fiercest foes join forces in an attempt to rule, or perhaps destroy, planet earth. The DVD includes an interactive Villain Invasion game. Cartoon violence. (Ages 6 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
