PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Our heavy holiday season is approaching, along with selections of some impressive videos.

Few of us thought  there would be another Winnie the Pooh movie, but there’s a new Pooh epic — now out on DVD –  narrated by John Cleese.   It’s a rare piece of animation that does not make a desperate grab for children (or adults) but simply honors the intelligence of the original classic.

Crazy, Stupid, Love — a Ryan Gosling special — is also on DVD.

And, from 1988, a new release of Bill Murray in Scrooged, with Murray as a TV executive in this riff on A Christmas Carol.

Water For Elephants features Reese Witherspoon in a romance under the big top.

A new release of 1985′s To Live and Die In LA, with Willem Dafoe, is out.  It’s about a cop and a counterfeiter.

And, from 1932, look for  Charles Laughton and Bela Lugosi in the monster movie Island of Lost Souls, adapted from HG Wells’ The Island of Dr. Moreau.
