Get ready for a new breed of hero in this hilarious and heart-warming tale of teamwork, courage and determination as G-Force is released on Disney DVD and in the 2-Disc Blu-ray™ Hi-Def Combo Pack, which includes a Blu-ray disc plus a DVD copy of the film in a single package, from 27th January 2010!

In his first big-screen 3D film Jerry Bruckheimer, creator of the Pirates of the Caribbean and National Treasure series of films, teams up with two-time Academy Award winning visual effects artist Hoyt H.Yeatman Jnr, in his directorial debut to create G-Force, a team of crime fighters like you've never seen before!

An elite group of animal spies, G-Force is a clandestine espionage team of highly trained guinea pigs locked and loaded for their first big sting operation. Lead by Darwin (voiced by Sam Rockwell), G-Force members also include Blaster, the adrenaline-loving demolition expert (voiced by Tracy Morgan), Juarez, the sassy counter-intelligence officer and martial arts specialist (voiced by Penelope Cruz), a computer and operations specialist mole called Speckles (voiced by Nicolas Cage) and literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert known as Mooch.

On the verge of saving the world and foiling the suspected evil plans of billionaire Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy) and Saberling Industries to control the entire population through household appliances, the specialised taskforce is unexpectedly shutdown by the FBI. These highly-trained guinea pigs quickly find themselves in their worst nightmare- as regular household pets up for sale in a pet shop!

With global security at stake, the G-Force escapes to complete their mission as rogue agents, determined to stop Saberling Industries before the 'Saber Sense' chip detonates the begins wreaking worldwide havoc!

Armed with all of the latest in miniature spy technologies, the G-Force encounter new characters along the way including civilian guinea pig Hurley (voiced by Jon Favereau), and Bucky, the overly territorial hamster (voiced by Steve Buscemi). What's more, the crime fighting team discover starling and heart-warming details about their past, and that the true enemy of the G-Force is not quite who or what they expected.

Special Features:
Loaded with cutting edge special effects and never-before-seen bonus features including deleted scenes, music videos, 'Blaster's Boot-Camp', 'G-Force Mastermind', 'G-Farce Bloopers' and audio commentary, G-Force is a hilarious, edge-of-your-seat action-adventure that the whole family will love!

KATRINA WARREN'S ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO CARING FOR GUINEA PIGS

To celebrate the Disney DVD and Blu-ray release of G-Force, we asked Katrina Warren for her top tips and facts on Guinea Pigs.

Interesting facts about Guinea Pigs:

· Guinea Pigs are native to South America and are also known as Cavies
· Guinea Pigs are not pigs but are classified as rodents. Like pigs, however, a female is called a sow and a male is a boar. But unlike pigs, the baby guinea pigs are called pups. A group of Guinea Pigs is called a herd
· Guinea Pigs are born with their eyes open and a full coat of fur and can run and eat solids within a couple of hours of being born
· Guinea Pigs have a variety of coat types. The most common is the Smooth-haired which has a short coat. There are also Long-haired varieties which require daily grooming and Coarse-coats which have swirly hair and a cute rough appearance.

Do Guinea Pigs make good pets?

· Yes, but only to those prepared to commit to giving them proper care. They have a life span of five to seven years which requires a long term commitment.
· Guinea Pigs are inquisitive, talkative and rarely bite
· They are great pets for people with limited space
· If socialised with humans from a young age they are affectionate and cuddly
· Because they are small and fragile they are not recommended for children under fiveCaring for a Guinea Pig
· Guinea Pigs are social creatures and don't like living alone. Groups of females can live happily together but they also need interaction from their human carers
· The more you handle and interact with your Guinea Pig from an early age, the more comfortable they will be around humans. Remember, they are fragile and you should never play rough
· Young children should always sit on the floor to handle Guinea Pigs. They have very delicate bodies and serious damage can be done if they are dropped or squeezed too hard
· Guinea Pigs require a great deal of Vitamin C , making it necessary to feed them formulated Guinea Pig pellets supplemented with lots of fruit and fresh vegetables like broccoli
· A Guinea Pig's front teeth continually grow so it is important that they have hard food like pellets to gnaw on
· Guinea Pigs are sensitive to changes in temperature so their cage must be kept out of draughts and direct sunlight
· Unless your Guinea Pig does a lot of exercise on hard surfaces like concrete, you will need to trim his/her toenails to prevent them curling back up to their foot pad
