Reviews ranged from positive to mixed. Giving three out of four bones, the VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever highlighted the parodies in the film, and noted that "Parents will be [as] equally entertained [as children] by the level of humor and fast-paced action". The Essential, Indispensable Parent's Guide to Children's Movies on Video praised the "tongue-in-cheek humor" and celebrity caricatures but issued warning to parents, stating that the film may not be appropriate for "children too young to identify satire" because the characters in the film "are rude and combative" and may not be positive role models.
Videos for Kids still concluded that the film "should provide an enjoyable viewing experience for the whole family". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Eagles continued that success and hit their commercial peak in late with the release of Hotel California , which would go on to sell more than 16 million copies in the U. Meisner left the band in and was replaced by Timothy B. They released their last studio album for nearly 28 years in with The Long Run , which spawned three top 10 singles: The Eagles disbanded in July but reunited in for the album Hell Freezes Over , a mix of live and new studio tracks. They toured consistently and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in In , the Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden , their first full studio album in 28 years and their sixth number-one album.
In , they began the extended History of the Eagles Tour in conjunction with the band's documentary release, History of the Eagles.
Following the death of Frey in January , Henley stated in several interviews that he did not think the band would perform again. While on the tour, Frey and Henley decided to form a band together and informed Ronstadt of their intention. Frey later credited Ronstadt with suggesting Leadon for the band, and arranging for Leadon to play for her so Frey and Henley could approach him about forming a band together. They also pitched the idea to Meisner and brought him on board. Souther should join the band, but Meisner objected. Accounts of the origin of the name however vary; Don Felder credited Leadon with originating the name when he recalled reading about the Hopis ' reverence for the eagle, [18] while J.
Souther suggested that the idea came when Frey shouted out, "Eagles! The group's eponymous debut album was recorded in England in February with producer Glyn Johns. The first single and lead track, " Take It Easy ," was a song written by Frey with his then-neighbor and fellow country-folk rocker Jackson Browne. Browne had written the first verse of the song, but got stalled on the second verse after the line "I'm standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. The single was followed by the bluesy " Witchy Woman " and the soft country rock ballad " Peaceful Easy Feeling ," charting at number 9 and number 22 respectively.
The group supported the album with a US tour as the opening act for Yes. Their second album, Desperado , took Old West outlaws for its theme, drawing comparisons between their lifestyles and modern rock stars. This album was the first to showcase the group's penchant for conceptual songwriting.
It was during these recording sessions Henley and Frey first began writing together. They co-wrote eight of the album's eleven songs, including " Tequila Sunrise " and " Desperado ," two of the group's most popular songs. The bluegrass songs "Twenty-One," " Doolin—Dalton ," and the ballad "Saturday Night" showcase guitarist Bernie Leadon's abilities on the banjo, guitar, and mandolin.
With Henley and Frey co-writing the bulk of the album—a pattern that would continue for years to come—the album marked a significant change for the band. The pair also began to dominate in terms of leadership; the early assumption had been that Leadon and Meisner as veteran musicians would have a greater influence on the band. For their next album, On the Border , Henley and Frey wanted the band to break away from the country rock style and move more towards hard rock. The Eagles initially started with Glyn Johns as the producer for this album, but he tended to emphasize the lush side of their double-edged music.
After completing only two usable songs, the band turned to Bill Szymczyk to produce the rest of the album. On the Border yielded a number 1 Billboard single " Best of My Love " , which hit the top of the charts on March 1, The song was the Eagles' first of five chart toppers. Felder missed the show when he was called away to attend the birth of his son; Jackson Browne filled in for him on piano and acoustic guitar.
A breakthrough album for the Eagles, making them international superstars, it was the first in a string of four consecutive number 1 albums. The dominant songwriting partnership of Henley and Frey continued on this album. The first single was the title track, which became their second consecutive chart topper. Frey has said it is his all-time favorite Eagles tune. The song reached number 4 on the charts. The band launched a huge worldwide tour in support of the album, and the album was nominated for a Grammy award for Album of the Year.
The group was featured on the cover of the September 25, issue of Rolling Stone magazine and on September 28, the band joined Linda Ronstadt , Jackson Browne , and Toots and the Maytals for a show in front of 55, people at Anaheim Stadium. One of These Nights was their last album to feature founding member Bernie Leadon. Leadon wrote or co-wrote three songs for the album, including "I Wish You Peace," written with girlfriend Patti Davis daughter of California governor Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan ; and the instrumental "Journey of the Sorcerer," which would later be used as the theme music for the BBC 's radio and television versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Leadon was disillusioned with the direction the band's music was taking and his loss of creative control as their sound was moving from his preferred country to rock and roll. Leadon's replacement, officially announced on December 20, , was guitarist, singer, and keyboardist Joe Walsh , who had been a friend of the band for some years. He had previously performed with James Gang , Barnstorm , and as a solo artist; he was also managed by Azoff and used Szymczyk as his record producer.
In early , the band released their first compilation album, Their Greatest Hits — The album became the highest-selling album of the 20th century in the United States, [41] and has since sold 29 million copies in the U. The following album, Hotel California , released on December 8, , was the band's fifth studio album and the first to feature Walsh. The album took a year and a half to complete, a process which, along with touring, drained the band.
The album's first single, " New Kid in Town ," became the Eagles' third number-one single. The second single was the title track , which topped the charts in May and became the Eagles' signature song. It features Henley on lead vocals, with a guitar duet performed by Felder and Walsh. The song was written by Felder, Henley, and Frey, with Felder writing all the music. The mysterious lyrics have been interpreted in many ways, some of them controversial.
Rumors even started in certain quarters that the song was about Satanism. The rumor was dismissed by the band and later by Henley in the documentary film History of the Eagles. Henley told 60 Minutes in that "it's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American Dream and about excess in America, which was something we knew about. With its hard rock sound, " Life in the Fast Lane " was also a major success that established Walsh's position in the band.

The third and final single from Hotel California , it reached number 11 on the charts. The ballad "Wasted Time" closes the first side of the album, while an instrumental reprise of it opens the second side.
The album concludes with " The Last Resort ," a song that Frey once referred to as "Henley's opus," but which Henley described as "fairly pedestrian" and "never fully realized, musically speaking. The run-out groove on side two has the words "V. Is Five-Piece Live" etched into the vinyl, which means that the instrumental track for the song "Victim of Love" was recorded live in the studio, with no overdubs. Henley confirms this in the liner notes of The Very Best Of.
However, the song was a point of contention between Don Felder and the rest of the band. In the documentary, Felder claimed that he had been promised the lead vocal on "Victim of Love," for which he had written most of the music. After many unproductive attempts to record Felder's vocal, band manager Irving Azoff was delegated to take Felder out for a meal, removing him from the mix while Don Henley overdubbed his lead vocal.
Hotel California appeared at number 37 on Rolling Stone's list of the best albums of all time, [45] and is the band's best-selling studio album, with more than 17 million copies sold in the U. The huge worldwide tour in support of the album further drained the band members and strained their personal and creative relationships. Hotel California is the last album to feature founding member Randy Meisner, who abruptly left the band after the tour. The Eagles had been touring continuously for eleven months; the band was suffering from the strain of the tour, and Meisner's stomach ulcers had flared up by the time they arrived in Knoxville in June After the incident, Meisner was frozen out from the band, [48] and he decided to leave the group at the end of the tour and return to Nebraska to be with his family.
His last performance was in East Troy, Wisconsin on September 3, Schmit , after agreeing that Schmit was the only candidate. In , the group, minus Don Felder, performed instrumental work and backing vocals for Randy Newman 's album Little Criminals , including " Short People ," which has backup vocals by Frey and Schmit. The Eagles went into the recording studio in to begin work on their next album, The Long Run.
The album took two years to complete. It was originally intended to be a double album, but the band members were unable to write enough songs. The Long Run was released on September 24, Considered a disappointment by some critics for failing to live up to Hotel California , it proved a huge commercial hit nonetheless; the album topped the charts and sold seven million copies. In addition, it included three Top 10 singles. The band won their fourth Grammy for "Heartache Tonight. The band also recorded two Christmas songs during these sessions, "Funky New Year" and " Please Come Home for Christmas ," which was released as a single in and reached number 18 on the charts.
A different version with female backing vocals appears on the Urban Cowboy soundtrack, along with the Eagles' hit "Lyin' Eyes. It appeared to be the end of the Eagles, but the band still had a commitment with Elektra Records to make a live record from the tour. Eagles Live released in November was mixed on opposite coasts. Frey had already left the band and would remain in Los Angeles, while the other band members each worked on their parts in Miami.
The song reached number 21 on the charts in , becoming the Eagles' last Top 40 single until After the Eagles broke up, the former members pursued solo careers.
