I've gotten the other Sing Along Videos in Spanish and this is by far the best one. It is simply awesome! Weather you get it for youngsters that are learning Spanish as a second language or those that already master Spanish...it is simply the best.
ADVISORY NOTE: IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN UNDER 3 OR 4 BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A PIRATE SONG WITH THE VIDEO THAT MAY BE A BIT SCARY TO SOME CHILDREN.
BE AWARE AND PREVIEW WITHOUT THEM IF POSSIBLE. MY SON WHEN HE WAS 2 WAS VERY SCARED WHEN HE WATCHED THAT PARTICULAR SONG VIDEO BUT NOW
THAT HE IS 3-1/2 HE LOVES THE ENTIRE VIDEO. MY FIRST-BORN SON NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AT ANY AGE AND NEITHER DID MY DAUGHTER. EVERY CHILD
IS DIFFERENT! ENJOY!!! LAUGH AND SING AND DANCE WITH YOUR CHILDREN; THEY WILL REMEMBER FOR A LIFETIME!!!

Barney's Christmas Star Review

Barney's Christmas Star
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As usual, the show opens inside of Barney's Playhouse. There are four children: one African-American, one Asian and two Caucasian. There are two boys and two girls.
This show starts with Barney discussing the holidays and they show and sing about each of three tables: one with the nativity scene for Christmas, one for Hanukkah, and one for Kwanzaa. This is where all references to the religious aspect of the holidays and Christmas end. Then Barney sings a generic song "I love the holidays". A girl enters and announces it is snowing and they all go outside to play, they sing songs about winter and snow, and build a snowman.
The girl invites everyone to help decorate a big Christmas tree in a public park that her great-great grandfather planted many years ago. They are off to help out and sing "O Christmas Tree". Soon they realize the star for the top of the tree is missing. Grandma sends Barney and the children back to her house to look for it in the attic.
Once in the attic, Grandfather gives them free reign to search for the missing star. They sing songs and talk about what they find and sing non-religious Christmas songs. Classic toys such as Raggedy Ann, drummer boys (soldiers), and teddy bears are found with glee. Barney finds a copy of a picture book version of "The Night Before Christmas" and reads it aloud while images of Santa on his sleigh are shown. Santa comes down the chimney and eats cookies that have been left for him while two children watch.
BJ and Baby Bop appear out of nowhere and eventually they find the star. They take it to the park, sing a new song about the star to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and Barney helps put the star on top of the tree since none of the adults can reach it, even with a ladder. (Typical of Barney shows, Barney is more of an authority figure and more capable than the human adults, and "saves the day".)
Overall this show is very much centered on presents and decorations such as the Christmas tree. One scene asks what is best about the holidays and the boy says "wrapping presents, giving presents and opening presents". Christians may not like that the central focus of this Christmas show is not religious despite the title containing the word "Christmas".
Overall this is typical Barney fare: inclusion of many ethnicities, trying to be fair by showing multiple celebrations of various peoples, and making the main focus something that is not secular. The songs are new and old classics. It is very much like the TV shows in content and quality.
If your child loves the Barney TV shows then s/he will love this show. As for how much the adult finds this entertaining, it would be equal to how much the adult likes the television show. The best part of this show is that it is the typical innocence, song and dance we expect from the Barney programs, which I feel makes it a good choice for young children, or at least better than most programming that is out there for children! It is what it is: a Barney show!!

Average Reviews:

I feel that I'm qualified to comment on "Barney's Good,Clean Fun" video due to the fact that it got stuck in my VCR and I watched it at least 25 times in a row. That didn't bother my 2 1/2 year old however, he requested it daily anyway. I bought it for the segment on brushing your teeth("and having so much fun", as Barney sings) because getting my son to brush his was anything BUT fun. Miraculously, it worked. He now ASKS for his toothbrush. Do you need help getting your child to clean up after himself, take a bath or cover a sneeze? Never underestimate the power of a purple dinosaur!

When Baby Bop and BJ get mad and vow never to speak to each other again, it's up to Barney and the kids to teach them the importance of friendship between brothers and sisters.Join Barney and the twins Ashley and Alissa as they try to brighten the mood with singing, dancing and sharing what they like best about each other.Just as BJ and Baby Bop begin playing tug-of-war with a book they both want to read, author Tomie dePaula arrives to read his book, "The Baby Sister," and explains why family is so important.He also teaches them that brothers and sisters can be more than just members of the same family...they can be friends for life.

Average Reviews:

My 4 year old loved this video for it showed her many things which she couldn't see herself, especially the part on "night-time". The songs are great, some are new, others are Barney classics, but its an eye-opener on what happens during the night when most kids are fast asleep. It is one of my daughter's favorties, and even my 1 year old sits glued to the TV when its playing. I highly recommend it, for it teaches them alot about what they should do before they go to bed, about constellations, about flowers and about the sounds of day and night.

Average Reviews:

This is an absolute must for all families, schools and CHURCHES! Not only does my 2-year old daughter love it (and literally ask to watch it everyday), but I have shared it with my Children's Ministry at church. It's fabulous! As parents, we want our children to have good character, but it is not always easy to explain the concepts in a language they can understand. This video is a great tool because it is in a language that kids not only understand, but it is delivered to them through some of their favorite TV personalities. It is never too early to start teaching your children about the six pillars of good character -- trustworthiness, respect, fairness, responsibility, caring and citizenship. "Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not part from it." Believe me, you will NEVER regret this purchase!

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.

Average Reviews:

Make fun of Barney all you want, the kids still love him. I almost gave this 4 stars instead of 5 just because I miss Bob West & David Joyner (the original voice/character team). The new guys are doing a fine job but I can tell the difference. I don't think my son can, though! He just loves to watch, and you can't beat the positive messages. Barney may not be hip or trendy, but he's still #1 in my house.

Barney's Musical Scrapbook Review

Barney's Musical Scrapbook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My mother got this for my 3 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. Basically, Barney goes through his scrapbook reminscising about some of fun times he's had. Then they show older episodes of the show (my guess from the mid to late 90's). If your kids like Barney, they will probably enjoy this DVD.
One proviso: I gave it 5 stars because my daughter enjoys it, not because *I* enjoy it. This is definitely not stuff for adults (well, not for the non-drooling segment of the adult population anyway.) If you're over 7 years old this will definitely fry the rest of your functioning brain cells if you watch it too much.
As for bonus features, there are none, except for some trailers for upcoming children's DVDs like The Wiggles and Kipper. It's kind of nice that they are in the bonus section so you don't have to watch them if you don't want to.
All in all, I recommend this for kids who are Barney fans.

Barney - Barney's Super Singing Circus (2000) Review

Barney - Barney's Super Singing Circus  (2000)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have over 30 Disney videos and other cartoon videos, but this is the only one she cares for. I was stunned when I saw her sit through the whole movie at 2 1/2. She's a very active child and nothing would keep her still. At the end of the tape, she starts wining "Barney." I couldn't believe I was finding myself rewinding and playing this tape six times a day. It would be more if I hadn't told her that Barney was going to sleep.
The funniest thing is that I wondered why children love him so much, still do...back then I had no children...now my daughter is crazy about him and I'm finding myself buying Barney videos to keep her entertained and let mommy relax a little.

Weebles - Welcome to Weebleville Review

Weebles - Welcome to Weebleville
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was extremely disappointed in this DVD. I wish I had previewed it before letting my 3yr old watch this. Although they make an attempt at teaching some lessons they leave quite a few out and show that bad behavior is permissible. The Susie Q character is reckless and inconsiderate of others yet she rarely gets admonished for her behavior. Not to mention the spaghetti slurping. We can no longer eat spaghetti as my dd always tries to slurp it like she saw on the video. Pass this one up. There are plenty of better ones out there like Sesame Street, Big Bear in the Blue House, Wiggles, anything from PBS.

Kipper - Cuddly Critters Review

Kipper - Cuddly Critters
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

Meet Kipper™, a loveable dog with a big imagination! Today's the day to join Kipper, Tiger, Jake, Pig and Arnold in their wondrous world of magic and fun. Birds and fish and mice, oh my! Little critters are great for cuddling – and excitement! Just ask Kipper, as he and his friends enjoy one animal adventure after another. Is a nest just for the birds or can Kipper and Tiger make themselves at home, too? Pig accidentally allows Jake's bird to escape; can Kipper and his friends find the missing Fluff? 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. And you can count on fun with Kipper and the cuddly critters! Approx. Run time: 60 minutes

Real Wheels: Tractor Adventures (Tractor, Dump Truck and Farm Truck) Review

Real Wheels: Tractor Adventures (Tractor, Dump Truck and Farm Truck)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My son (3 yrs old in one month) watches this in the car and LOVES this video. He is pretty crazy about trucks, tractors, and the like, but some videos are just too advanced and technical. This one is great. For the tractor segment (mostly farm tractors) and farm vehicle segment, they show a lot of different aspects of farming, including the steps from seedling to harvesting, eating what you grow, visiting a dairy farm (and what is made from dairy products), and even using an airplane to spray insecticides and fertilizers. But this is all on a todler- young child level, and the main guy, Dave is likeable, and very importantly, his voice is not annoying at all. The dump truck segment is great, too- they show all different kinds, and all different activities- even filling up with gas, which toddlers are so fascinated with. There are no catchy tunes, but that can be a plus, since they are so often what makes the video unbearable for adults. This video is really well done, with all live action video, and the narrator acting as an important participant. It completely holds the attention of my son, and I actually enjoy it.
