Bob the Builder - Celebrate with Bob (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We were very disappointed with this Bob the Builder dvd. My children love Bob the Builder and own every video. We were excited to hear that a new one was coming out soon (especially on Dvd). However, it is not new! Every episode on this dvd is on the other videos (or has been on the Nick Jr. show at least 6 months ago). I would have never thought they would release a new dvd/video without any new episodes. If this is your first Bob the Builder dvd/video, then I would recommend it. If you own many others, then don't bother getting this one because you have already seen it.

A dance contest, a messy office and a broken down computer are just a few of the things that keep everyone on their toes.There's a lesson in every adventure.Not to mention plenty of fun.

Kipper - Let it Snow Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Another fun packed DVD, starring Kipper, Tiger, Pig and Arnold.
Lots of snow fun, and entertaining even when it's not Christmas.
The quality of the DVD is a lot better, with a menu that allows you to play all episodes, or choose your favorite. You can also choose to skip the previews, which is a big plus for repeat viewing.
The high point is hearing Arnold "speak", when he gets his very own igloo.
We love Kipper, and will continue to recommend the series, once the DVD's continue to be such great value for the price.

Barney: You Can Be Anything (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We didn't like the video, kids being wild and acting like Rock Stars was not the kind of video we were looking for...creative play is one thing, hedonism is not a value I want to teach my children.

Journey to an Unknown World Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I enjoyed this film. The director throws in a monkey-wrench once in a while, changes the plot and surprises you. A bit crazy when the aliens and the robot enter the story. Obviously dubbed from the Spanish. I'm giving this 4-stars.

Three young brothers from Rio (Mario, Paco and Diego ) journey into the Amazon rain-forest with their not-so-normal uncle to help their grandfather save the planet from alien slavery. The boy's parents aren't too fond of the idea. In fact,Uncle Manuelo's last escapade landed them on the front page of the newspaper. Part adventure, as the boys soon become lost in the jungle and almost die of dehydration.Part sci-fi, as they are kidnapped by smugglers while tracking an alien robot and stowaway on their spacecraft in a thrilling climax to save the planet.Live action with 5-minutes of animation at the end of the film.

Bob The Builder - Building Friendships (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 4 year old loved seeing the new episodes on this DVD. New characters (Trix, Molly) were a nice surprise.
A couple complaints though: Default language on the DVD is French! Each time we play it we have to first go into the menu to switch to English. Maybe I got the wrong version of the DVD? And there is no easy way to get right to the Bob the Builder episodes... we have to sit through the Wiggles and other preview stuff first.

What do bats, otters, badgers and a parrot have in common? They all get by with a little help form their friends--Bob and his can-do construction team! Wendy finds that Farmer Pickles' fence blocks the badgers' path to the stream, so she teams up with Bob to build a "badger gate" for them. Then Molly discovers a family of otters in the stream and comes up with a "mucky" solution to keep her new friends form being scared. Mr. Beasley provided a home for the bats in the belfry after his pigeons have flown the coop. Finally, Molly and J.J. are thrilled when Hamish the parrot needs a new home--their building yard is just the place for their new friend! Making friends and helping friends--it's all in a day's work!

Wee Sing Classic Songs for Kids (1996) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was our first video we played for our 1 year old. She's now almost 2 and still loves this happy, fast paced video. The songs are all easy to sing along to and dance to. There always seems to be something new to see. At 30 min. it's a perfect lenth to hold a little ones attention, and be introduced to all the fun wee sing characters.

Sesame Street - Elmo in Grouchland (Sing and Play Video) (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is THE video to get for your little elmo fanatic! My 22 month old son can't seem to get enough of Sesame Street, especially Elmo. I bought this video to quench his never ending thirst for more Elmo and hit PAYDIRT!
This is isn't necessarily an educational video but it is tons of fun! The songs are great and Elmo is prominent throughout. It was even fun enough that I happily watch it with him (I usually take advantage of 'video time' to get chores done).
If your going to let your children watch t.v., Sesame Street is the wat to go. Normally don't advocate t.v. watching for children, but there is something special about Sesame Street that I make an exception for. My son has learned to count to ten, alot of the alphabet, and other miscellaneous things through a combination of myself and Sesame Street. For example, He recognizes letters and numbers when they come up on a video. When used as a supplement by parents (not a substitute), I think Sesame Street can be a useful (& fun) learning tool!
I also recommend these Sesame Street Videos:
-25th Anniversary, A Musical Celebration
-35th Anniversary, What's The Name Of That Song?
-The Best of Elmo (a must have for elmo lovers)
-Alphabet Jungle
-The Great Number Game
-Learning About Letters
-Learning About Numbers
-Monster Hits

Tonka Tough Truck Adventures - The Biggest Show on Wheels (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We too, rented this movie, and my 4 and 5 year old boys absolutely loved the movie. They watched it basically, non-stop, for 5 days!! I enjoy the computer animation style, and it's a little hokey - but for the boys - it's good clean entertainment. I really recommend this if you have young boys.

Sesame Street - Mother Goose (1997) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this video for my granddaughter, who is just over 2. She loves it and so do I! One poor dog, Simon, does not know how to rhyme and his mother(Mother Goose's daughter) is trying to help him by going over Mother Goose rhymes. It is clever and very funny for the adults. The children are listening to rhymes that I think all children should be exposed to and enjoying the dogs because they are so funny. Much better to watch with a child than those cartoon videos. My granddaughter always asks me to play the dogs.

The Wiggles - Wiggledancing (Live in the USA) (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since my family and I are going to see The Wiggles for the first time in 2 days,I was excited to see this video.All I can say is WOW!!!!It's going to be a spectacular show!The Wiggles and their dancers are engaging and energetic, particularly Anthony,who to me, steals the show(although I'm not convinced he really did those back flips!).The songs are all familiar here,but the energy and enthusiasm more then makes up for that.The Wiggles find fun ways to connect with their audience, such as suggesting dance moves, and,in the song We Love Athens,getting the crowd to yell "OPAH!!" every time the Captain holds up a sign.This concert takes place in Connecticut, in the good old USA ,and they look like they're having a great time.I reccommend this dvd to anyone over the age of 3 who wants to hear lots of great music and singing ,and be thoroughly entertained.Also of special interest,are the extras at the end of the DVD.Dorothy the dinosaur takes us on a special look back at all the highlights(and a few amusing hairdos!)of The Wiggles' amazing 15 year career, from their college days(when they actually played and sang on the sidewalk!)to the present.It is really neat to see.The bonus episode of Lights!Camera!Action! is cute too.Buy this video,and you and your children will NOT be disappointed.We love it!!

Kipper - Water Play Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't buy this at first because I was of the impression that it was a compilation of water episodes from the other DVDs. We own most, if not all, of the other DVDs and I can't say that I've seen any of the episodes before. They may have been shown on TV, or may have been on the earlier VHS tapes, but nevertheless they were all new to me.
This one is very short at five episodes, not the length of the usual Kipper value packs, and the biggest problem is that Pig and Arnold are missing. Gotta have those pigs!
The five episodes are imaginative as usual, including a talking magic frog and an elephant, plus Kipper does a great Gene Kelly/Mary Poppins impression on an umbrella adventure.
Not the best Kipper to start with, but reasonable entertainment for seasoned veterans.

The Wiggles - Live Hot Potatoes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you've ever seen the Wiggles live, then you know just how fantastic their live shows are. This video is a must-have for nothing else, a keepsake. It's full of stuff from their recent tour, and even has Santa in there at the end. They go around looking for Jeff again, complete with the blow-up balloon. My little one went upstairs and grabbed his guitar and was playing along with most of the show. Then he went after his keyboard and gave me the guitar and we played together! You can't passively watch the Wiggles - you just have to get up and dance along. They do such a fantastic job too - it never ceases to amaze me the amount of time an thought that goes into their shows. This video gives a glimpse of what they did here in the US - they showed them driving in the Big Red Car, going under signs for Columbus, then driving into the auditorium and the next thing you see is them driving out in the Big Red Car onto the stage. That about floored my husband, who is a teacher as well (so are the Wiggles). He just keeps remarking at all the attention the Wiggles give to the details to keep the kids' attention while teaching them at the same time. They're learning and they don't even know it. Just like Leapfrog products! I'm still wondering how Greg dances like a noodle up there - he's got to be double-jointed!
Don't expect this to be a quick view and leave video either - it's 140 minutes long! Some of the cinematography could have been better though on this - the dark shots turned blue, and Anthony produced the musical portion and some of Greg's vocals are a little "hot" here and there, but kids don't care much about that. And, unless you're a musician or in the music business, you're not going to notice it much. That's my only criticism of this video. It's especially nice to hear Captain Feathersword sing "Eagle Rock." I loved it when they had him flying on a trapeze out into the audience during their recent shows here and guess what? It's on this video too! That definitely made our day here. My little one was just as mesmerized by it again when he saw the video.
Another highlight of this video is that it is totally live. There's no canned studio tracks being used on this one. They have a live orchestra up there, complete with backup singers. Dom Lindsey is the orchestra director, complete in white hat and tails, and leads the orchestra, plays trumpet (hey, it's worth the cost of the video just to hear him play!), and even sings as one of the "three tenors" with Captain Feathersword. Awesome part for us music people out there!
Great, great stuff, I highly recommend it and if you're new to the Wiggles, grab this guy and get "Toot, Toot" too. That still is their best one, in my humble opinion besides this one. Great job Wiggles and thanks very much for caring about the quality of products being directed towards our children. You definitely deserve all the success you are having!

Kipper - Cuddly Critters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like all Kipper DVDs, this one is great value for money. Seven child-pleasing episodes make for an hour of fun, and this one is especially good for animal lovers. Martin Clunes again provides the voice for Kipper, and Chris Lang for everybody else.
The 7 episodes are:
The Nest - Kipper and Tiger come across a little lost bird, and while trying to get it back to its nest, they decide to try living in a tree. The worm hunting scene is hilarious, as is the nest building exercise.
Jake's Bird - Jake's pet bird flies the coop, and Kipper and Pig team up to help find it. They find more than they bargain for.
Echo, Echo - A clever parrot makes Kipper think he's hearing things. The parrot is an extremely funny character, with all the "good" lines.
The Goldfish - Kipper and Tiger both have aquatic pets, at least temporarily. The goldfish takes sweet revenge.
The Mouse - Kipper gets an uninvited house guest (The mouse is a little annoying)
Hide and Seek - More mouse play and lessons in counting
Hedgehog Watch - A spiky critter gets the upper hand on Kipper and Tiger.
Great for pre-school or kindergarten kids, and for adults needing a little peace and quiet.Amanda Richards, October 28, 2005

In another episode, Kipper is confused – is that an echo or is someone talking back to him? And who's eating Kipper's cereal and playing with his toys? It's one adventure after another when Kipper talks to the animals! Whether it's a wandering hedgehog, a homeless goldfish, or a playful mouse, Kipper keeps busy with his animal friends.
