It’s a good time for DVD releases this week, with Hollywood comedies such as Vacation and She’s Funny That Way available starting today, as well as the small budget comedy/horror The Final Girls.

If you’re looking to entertain the kids, the animated hit feature Inside Out from Disney Pixar and the animated short film Toy Story That Time Forgot – featuring all your favorite characters from the big screen Toy Story movies – are now available on DVD. Also for the younger set, the live action adventure The Young and Prodigious T.V. Spivet is being released.

If you prefer thrillers, check out Dark Places, starring Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult and Chloë Grace Moretz.

Vacation is a sequel to the original National Lampoon’s Vacation, but this time it’s Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) who’s taking his family on an outing. All grown-up with a wife (Christina Applegate) and two sons, Rusty surprises them with a cross-country trip to Walley World, just like his dad (Chevy Chase) did years earlier. Unfortunately, Stone Crandall (Chris Hemsworth), Rusty’s ridiculously handsome but irritating brother-in-law, is along for the ride.

Inside Out revolves around the mind of Riley, a young girl who experiences emotional turmoil as her life in the Midwest is uprooted when her father moves them to San Francisco. Her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Bill Hader), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) – are locked in conflict in the Headquarters, the control center of Riley’s brain, over how to deal with it.
