...size is justified: De Rico's monumental landscapes suggest Leonardo, and his tale is reminiscent of the Grimm brothers. Title roles are played by a group of grouchy little creatures who must be distantly related to black holes: they eat light and color for breakfast. The goblins' quarry is the biggest meal of them all, the rainbow. Their enemies turn out to be every flower and animal on earth. Against those odds, only two species can possibly prevail: the writer and the reader...
...Dutton; $7.95) is one of the last poems Americans learned by heart. ''The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep" has resonances that go far beyond the ice-glazed trees and horse-drawn carriage of this nostalgic volume.

After approaching as close as 280,000 km (174,000 miles) of Jupiter's upper atmosphere, Voyager 1 will be catapulted by the powerful Jovian gravity toward Saturn, which it will not reach until 1981. Following closely behind, Voyager 2 may be sent even farther afield...
...lazy -- groups of figures will stand without moving while a battle rages around them. The synch of the lips and sound falters and only for brief moments can you forget that this thing is a cartoon. Bakshi superimposes animation and live footage, washing the whole scene in psychedelic colors, negative images and painted color.
