Описание: What would you do if you accidentlly broke your best friend's prized possession? Would you tell them, or hide it? Join Banana Tail the monkey, along with his friends Tic Tac, a plaid zebra, and Slubb the hippo, as they try to solve the mystery of why their best friend Reena, the color-changing rhino, is distraught and changing into a unique array of colors right in front of their eyes! Lavishly illustrated in a beautiful CGI style reminiscent of Pixar and Dreamworks animated films, Banana Tail's Colorful Adventure promotes the virtues of honesty and friendship in a gentle manner that even the youngest of readers will understand.
The history of the ‘video nasties’ has been recounted many times and the films that caused so much offence have themselves been endlessly examined. However, the industry that gave rise to the category has received scant little attention. Earlier histories have tended to foreground issues of censorship, and as such, offer only glimpses of an under explored industrial history of British video. This book focuses explicitly on an industry that is still portrayed in heavily caricatured terms, that is frequently presented as immoral or corrupt, and that continues to be understood through the rhetoric of the tabloid press, as ‘merchants of menace’.
