Editorial Review

This Disney masterpiece from 1940 will hold up forever precisely because it doesn't restrain or temper the most elemental emotions and themes germane to its story. Based on the Collodi tale about a wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy, Read more

unhappy ending
purchased the dvd and received it quickly - when trying to view the dvd I found it has no audio - I contacted the seller NO RESPONSE - I then went through Amazon and still NO RESPONSE. I am very disappointed and sad to say this has put a sour taste in my mouth. I can say I will never purchase anything from CHILLOUT ZONE again as it only takes but a minute to respond to an e-mail and they can not even to that....

Simply one of Disney's Best
This has got to be at least in the top three of the many animated movies the Disney studios produced.So many great characters are in it - Cleo, Jiminy Crickit, The Good Fairy, Gepetto, Honest John, Monstro and of course Pinocchio himself.So many good hummable songs too including"An Actor's Life", I've Got No Strings to Hold Me Down, and the most famous "When You Wish Upon A Star."The story is original and the plot exciting without being too scary for little ones and all ends happily.Don't miss the ride at Disneyland either!

one of the great disney films
Made back when Disney made truely great animated films. I love the old Disney stuff and Pinocchio is one of the best. Disney was and is the king of this film genre, especially back when this one was made. NO animation done today rivals the Disney cartoons of the era this film was made. Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Pixar and any of the other animation studios of today will never touch the quality and imagination of early Disney films. I don't like computer animation, so maybe I'm biased in that respect. This film is pure art. ... Read more

NOT a good choice
For a video that is intended to be educational for very young children, this is the worst!My primary complaint is the serious speech impediment of the main character, Baby Bear.How does this help children learn to speak properly??In addition, his attitude is terrible.Finally, some of the animation (the letter "F" faces) is scary for young children.My daughter (who is about to turn 2) has several of the Sesame Street videos and this is the only one that I absolutely would NOT recommend.

Excellent!!
My two girls love to watch it all day over & over agan LOL. My girls are 3 & 1 and my 3 year with in the first two weeks she is starting to say the letters of the Alphabet along with the DVD. This is a must for kids early development.
Speech impediment of main character is an issue
OK, on the good side, this video contains all the favorite Sesame Street characters; is fairly long; has puppets, cartoons, animals, music, and some celebrity cameos; and most importantly, teaches kids the alphabet in a fun way. My 4 children have enjoyed it. However, one big issue with this video is the speech of the main character, Baby Bear. Sesame Street has always used the most ordinary looking children (not model-types) and has made its muppets with varying character traits, apparently, in an effort to show children that people come in all shapes and sizes - very "PC" and this was true even in the 70's before being "PC" was even defined as such. Having an instructional video with a speech-impaired puppet, though, is problematic. Forget trying to show kids that "Oh, some children speak like that and so that's part of the real world and it's OK". No. This is an educational video and I'm surprised and annoyed that this bear seems to say every possible word there is with a mispronouned "R", or as he says "aww" (rhymes with raw-ooo). So everytime this video is watched, my 2 year old thinks that it's correct to say "Beawwww" instead of Bear, "lettewwws" instead of letters, "twide" insted of tried, etc. Besides the educational shortcomings, the Awwwws begin to seriously grate on my nerves. If you can live with the fact that a main character in serious need of speech therapy is teaching your kids how to speak, then you may find this video enjoyable. ... Read more

A Halloween treat. Elmo visits fellow Sesame Street Muppet the Count in the latter's castle--and gets scared for a moment. But only a moment, as more friends from the television program show up, and jokes, songs, and surprises abound. Among the clever tunes: "Transylvania 1-2-3-4-5," "We Are All Monsters," and "Frazzle."

My three year old son thinks it is too scary
Well, this is cute.I like it.But my three year old son (who normally likes Elmo and who normally like Halloween) is scared to watch it.He doesn't want me to play it--he asks for Dora's Halloween instead.
Very cute Elmo video
Nothing like Best of Elmo but entertaining for a 2 yeard old.Wasn't dissapointed.

It's October 31 and Barney and the kids are decorating for a Halloween party at school. This means a trip to a local farm for the usual pumpkins, the Indian corn, and a good excuse for some seasonal songs ("You can call it fall, if that's what you please / But I say I like autumn.") There are14 songs, including at least one repeat from an earlier tape, and the usual Barney-ized versions of traditional tunes--the most bizarre being "S-M-I-L-E" to the music of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." The prehistoric galoot and his "Halloween team" make some construction-paper spiders and paper-bag owls that are easy to duplicate at home and some foot-painting that would do a number on your carpets. The party is the big payoff, complete with prizeless games, a candy-filled piñata, and Barney boogeying down. The secondary story has BJ and Baby Bop on a dismal trick-or-treat outing, which includes safety advice but ultimately seems to suggest that this most-typical Halloween activity isn't a good idea. On the costume front, cowboys, ballerinas, and scarecrows are the order of the night, as this festive, but decidedly unspooky, 50-minute tape sidesteps the whole ghost/witch/goblin theme. Read more

For Barney, This is Pretty Good
Even for those parents, who are not Barney fans, this DVD is a good one.The songs are cute & our two year old son manages to be able to sing along with some of them.The decorations that they make (spiders from hand prints, ghosts from foot prints) will give you some ideas of ways to entertain your children around Halloween.The costumes are good - certainly not too scary for small children.Overall, our son gives it two thumbs up and requests this DVD by name (even after Halloween)!

Barney's Halloween Party
Very interesting to my 2 yr old grandaughter. Excellant for the upcoming holiday.

BARNEY CELEBRATES HALLOWEEN
This is one we just picked up recently for our 2 1/2 year old.He likes Barney but he's not his favorite but he just loves Halloween so this was a great tape for him.Barney is joined by Baby Bop and the usual gang of kids as they celebrate Halloween.Barney and the kids take a trip to a farm where they learn all about fall fun such as cider and pumpkins.From there it's off to school to help the teacher decorate for the big Halloween party.Barney in the gang make several cute craft projects including paper spiders and goodie bags and also paint some pumpkins.later that evening they all get in their costumes anf go to the big party at school.

OK
My daughter is 16 months old and loves Elmo.I purchased this DVD thinking she would love it but she doesn't love it, she likes it.She loses interest in it b/c the songs aren't familiar.All in all the DVD is OK.

The BEST DVD for Toddlers by FAR!!
My 20 month old daughter absolutely LOVES this DVD. This is the ONLY DVD that she will watch for the entire length of it!I have even restarted it with her still in her "Elmo trance" and she still didn't budge!This has been her best Easter present! She has since received three Elmo's World DVDs that she likes, but they still do not compare to how much she LOVES this one.With the Elmo's World DVDs, she gets bored when they show Mr. Noodle and the other "real people" clips.Maybe those are more interesting for older kids, but for my daughter, she just isn't interested.

2 little thumbs up!
A great addition to the Elmo collection. We liked this so much we bought the cd to listen to in her room for play time. Excellent video. ... Read more

Bear Thinks the Holidays Smell Good --- And So Do I!
"Halloween & Thanksgiving" is a "Bear in the Big Blue House" VHS release featuring two "Bear" episodes --- "Halloween Bear" and "The Best Thanksgiving Ever." For a video production, the quality is pretty top-notch --- both episodes are close-captioned, the sound is hi-fi and the recording mode is SP.

Great learning video!!
My kids really did learn a lot from this movie, I would recommend it when your child is trying to learn to go on the potty.

POTTY POWER KICKS THE POOP OUT OF THIS ONE!
Ok my kids love Bear however didn't really get into this DVD. "Potty Power" however they loved and watch over and over. Bear is a little slow to get to the songs and they aren't that great in my opinion. "Potty Power" however has very catchy songs and convinced my stubborn 3 year old to finally try to go potty! Hooray!

My daughter loves it...
My daughter loves this video. She does not otherwise watch this show "Bear In The Big Blue House" and was NOT familiar with any of the characters. That did not matter. I have also seen many of the other videos and books. This video did more to encourage her than any of the other videos. Encouragement was a huge part of the process and the video helped to keep her on track and to keep trying. For instruction, we used the video by Alona Frankel called "Once Upon a Potty". We HIGHLY recommend using her Once Upon a Potty potty chair. It is so easy and comfortable for the kids to get on and off. We have owned or seen probably all of the potties out there and this one is really NICE and one piece--it is the easiest to use and to clean. We only use it in her room at night, though since we quickly transitioned her during the day to the Baby Bjorn potty seat on the big potty. ... Read more

Great Video
My 18 mth old son loves it. He laughs like its the funniest thing he's ever saw. (of course I'm the funniest thing)(from the DAD)

A hit at our house
We ordered this video since my 12 month old son is fascinated by dogs and other babies.The best part is when they show the Sesame Street characters when they were babies.

Entertaining, but not very educational
I was hoping for a video that would teach my toddler how to treat my baby and dog.This video, while it's cute, didn't do that.It basically shows different types of babies and dogs. ... Read more

When a special effect turns Tosha's bedroom closet into a stairwellof a pirate ship, the viewer knows this will be a different Barneyexperience. Tosha and Min and their lumbering dinosaur guide climb aboard tojoin Baby Bop, B.J., and the boys on a journey to the titular island. After ahearty land-ho, Barney and the kids explore the island, stopping along theway to turn tree branches, starfish, and clams into percussion instruments andbreak out in song. They stumble onto a thatched cottage, and its owner,Professor Tinkerputt, invites them in to look, but not touch, the beautifultoys he makes for himself. The gang turns the professor's life around byteaching him about sharing and he decides to join them on their journey homein order to give his toys to children. On the scale of adult irritation, thisfanciful Barney installment ranks surprisingly low. Older children who have outgrown some of the more lesson-oriented tapes in the series may even find themselves watching this one with their younger siblings. (Ages 1-8) Read more

My favorite
My toddler granddaughter loves this Barney video just like she does all the other Barney videos, but I even enjoy this one. If I were a little kid, this is the one that I would watch over and over....in fact, I have...but with my granddaughter, of course.The make-believe part where the kids and Barney journey by ship to Imagination Island is perfect!It reminds me of the old Storybook Land that used to sit where DFW airport is now. This is a very charming video that kids up to the age of 10 are sure to enjoy.

theme
It was truly amazing. It has all my favorite Barney Songs.
The Best Barney video/movie
I just bought this on sale at Walmart on VHS for about $6, and the box said it was 29 minutes, but it ended up to be the full-length 50 minute show.It's not the same studio background as the TV show, so it has that movie feel, and it's PERFECT for my 3 1/2 year old daughter (and my 1 1/2 year old son even sits still to watch it!).And, though I normally don't enjoy Barney shows, I must admit I find this little movie so sweet!It starts off in a cozy girly bedroom with two friends for a sleepover, then Barney shows up and they venture off onto a pirate ship to meet the guys and other dinosaur characters.They land on an island, meet this great character played by a middle aged man who ends up sharing his toy inventions after the gang teaches him how great sharing can be.The man sings a great catchy song and is very entertaining.Then the gang travels home and the girls end up back in the cozy bedroom.Catchy songs are just minutes in between the whole video.This is great for girls and boys, such a sweet fun feel to the whole show.I have become a fan of Barney since my kids love him, and the shows teach such great examples, and I have to say of all we have, this is the best show! ...

Christmas! The mere word inspires shrieks and wiggles in the 1- to 6-year-old crowd. Treat the kiddies to a tuneful outlet for their holiday excitement with this festive, 45-minute video from Australia's award-winning children's group, the Wiggles. Main vocalist Greg Page (in yellow) teams up with cohorts Murray Cook (guitar), Anthony Field (guitar and trumpet), and Jeff Fatt (accordion and keyboard) to deliver over a dozen delightful Christmas favorites--some old, many new, and almost all with a boppin' beat. What makes this holiday sing-along superior to other, similar tapes is the genuine joy the performers emit while they dance, play, and smile throughout each one- to two-minute tune. Simple yet eye-catching sets for songs including "Felice Navidad" and "Jingle Bells" never upstage the foursome and their boyish glee. Many performances include equally wiggly children, dressed as elves or reindeer, who appear every bit as genuine as Greg, Murray, Anthony, and Jeff. In a favorite segment, Anthony introduces and chats with some of the kids before they perform a musical nativity play. The final few minutes features a live performance of the "Wiggly Christmas Medley" from Read more

This DVD Saved Our Christmas!
Our daughter (13 months) loves this DVD to the point of obsession. Don't think about this as education - this is pure escape fantasy. Nothing else - not Baby Einstein, not Barney - keeps her rapt attention like this DVD. Pop this in when you need a break or are cleaning up after a day of playtime. You won't be disappointed.

Great Wiggles DVD!
I highly recommend getting this one!They have a lot of different child friendly Christmas songs as well as the traditional wordy ones that are staples of the Christmas season.My daughter and step son LOVE this DVD!The dances are fun and energetic too!There are also some speaking parts too that are kinda neat!I definately recommend this for any Wiggles fan collection :)

get your wiggle on!!
This is a really good Xmas video, you can't go wrong with the Wiggles.I should know--my daughter (almost 2) watches this thing every 2 hours.Lots of good Christmas songs, and they switch it up with slow stuff and fast party jams.They even get down on the beach with the infamous Captain FeatherSword.Lots of performances with kids taking center stage.Doesn't run too long either.Good choice for the kids and for wiggles fans worldwide. ...

One of the bes leter videos out there!
My daughter got this as a gift when she was 1 and it was definitely too old for her. She loved SS, but the video was too slow for her.She's now 2, so I pulled it out and let her watch it the other day. She loves it! It's now her favorite video. She has a few other alphabet videos, but what's nice about this one is that it takes the next step and introduces words and a little phonics.
Sesame Street - Learning About Letters
I'm an older mom of 4. I'd purchased this video for my first three older children and had since given it away. Who knew I'd have a fourth child so late in life? Knew this video was a must. Glad that I could find it again, every one of my older children learned their ABC's from this video. I remember the 'C' is for cookie sung by Cookie Monster, Bert singing La la la la lullaby and 'O' is for oatmeal, and the king that banished the letter 'P' from his kingdom. I remember this as if it were yesterday and it's been well over a decade! I could not recommend this more, every parent should own one, it really, really works!!!

Old School Sesame Street At Its Best!
We got this video as a present for my son's first birthday. I originally decided not to let him watch any TV before the age of two. However, I wanted to see what the video was like, since I grew up on Sesame Street. And my son just LOVED the video. I like it because it does not have fast moving graphics or loud noises. I limit my son's TV watching to one 1/2 hour a day and this is what he likes the best. He dances to it, talks to it, and even says some letters at 14 months old! And after watching it hundreds of times, I am still not sick of it (that is key). I am going to get him other sesame street videos, the one for numbers will be next. I highly recommend this video. Jim Henson was a genious and knew his stuff! You can't beat good old Sesame Street! ... Read more

My son loves Thomas but the stories seem sort of slow.He loses interest in them so quickly.However, this video keeps his attention.He watches it again and again.The songs are cute and catchy.He sings them around the house!!!I highly recommend this to any person who has a little Thomas lover in their home!!

Great music
Thomas is back with some great muscial toons for the kids i am 11 and have a 4 and 5 yearold brother and sister we got them this one 2 weeks ago not the newer cover one but jest this one some of the thomas tapes we got wean i was little now i hope to let my brother and sister enjoy it like i did thare or grat muisc videos and 2 stories on the tape

Some great musical fun!
Ever since they introduced the music videos to the Thomas videos, I've loved Thomas even more. They just add some musical fun and excitement to the videos and they're so catchy, you will sing them all the time, I know I sometimes find myself singing them. I'm sure little kids will want to watch this over and over and over again. Here are the music videos:

This is the first video of this children's favorite series that's not just a TV segment. The introduction, created for the video, follows Blue's intrepid friend Steve as he visits a kid's house to learn the "Birthday Candle Dance." It's only six or so minutes but it does add to the fun. Then it's on to Blue's fabulous birthday party, where she has left some clues for what she really wants for her birthday. Another winner. Read more

a real hit
My 2 year old LOVES Blue and Blue's Clues.We rented this one from the library and she wanted to watch it over and over - I think there's just something magical about birthdays (and other holidays for that matter) for small children.So far this week she has been at her play kitchen making "birthday cakes" for everyone in the house and wanting us to sing the birthday song over and over.Suremy husband and I are sick of the songs but Blues Clues is positive and encourages learning for kids so I say, deal with it.Repetition is how kids learn, and if she loves it, who cares???I give this one an A+++!!!

This review is for all the Blue's Clue's series!!!!!
I should give Blue's Clue's BIG credit. Want to know why? Because a while ago I was about 4 or 5 years old. My autistic sister Pamela (Who is a little bit older than me and she's a special needs child) hated drawing and writing. That's a shame for a 9 year old kid to hate drawing and writing! But Blue's Clue's was released and she loved it (or loves it) and because Steve had his handy, dandy notebook, Pamela started to draw pictures just like Steve! Yay!!!!!!
BLUES CLUES IS A FAVORITE
I guess we have more Blues Clues videos and DVDs than any other character.He's been a favorite of my son's since before he was one year old.Now he's almost 2 1/2 and has begun to develop more serious tastes.He'll actually watch many more programs geared towards older kids, and even adults, but he still likes his Blues Clues now and then.

Does Not Live Up to Expectations
Forget this DVD if you love the Disney theme parks like I do.Although I love Disneyworld a lot more than Disneyland, the Disneyland Sing Along is so much better.This Disneyworld Sing Along does not compare at all to its predeccesor. The songs, scenes and all around fun that the Disneyland Sing Along offers is what the Disney theme parks are all about.This DVD makes you feel like you are NOT part of the fun.My advice, do not bother!
great dvd
Luv this video, glad it's on dvd! It makes you feel like you're hanging out w/the kids. Whatever happened to them?

All Original and Complete Recordings
All in all, I love it!All the songs advertised on this tape are the original, complete recordings that I have grown to love -- not remakes.It also has a few classical Kermit the Frog Sesame Street segments (for example, the little girl he's with sings "ABCDEF Cookie Monster!") -- though there are just bits and pieces of the Sesame Street News skits.My favorite song on this tape is "Bein' Green".I bought mine at amazon.com a couple of years ago, but not until today did I open it and play it -- I was just too nervous.If you can get this tape -- go for it!A MUST for any serious Sesame Street fan!

this is so great!
This is so much fun!My 9-month-old daughter only shows limited interest in the video, but I love it!The songs are awesome -- Caribbean Amphibean absolutely rocks!I can't help smiling every time I hear it.'I love my elbows' is just too cute.And the skit about selling weather is hysterical.Treat yourself to this!

Too much pigs - notenough Kermit
Because I'm such a huge fan of Kermit on Sesame Street, I'd buy this video again if I had to.That being said, it's somewhat disappointing.I was hoping to share Muppet News Flashes with my little boy, but the brief montage is just confusing for someone who's never seen them.Read more

Several nurseryrhyme songs are featured along with examples of music in nature. The lattertheme is explored further in "Music in a Everyday Way." Music is discovered in jars of water, sticks on the floor, and animal sounds. Even the thinkingchair becomes a musical instrument. The sound and rhyme matching willmake this video hold up to repeated plays quite well. Read more

This is another fun video from the early days of Blue's Clues.Blue leads Steve on a "clue hunt" and we learn a lot about instruments and music and rythms.This is a great way to introduce your toddlers to the concept of rythm.

A huge disappointment...
I grew up watching Sesame Street and truly love the Muppets. However, I have to say this video was not what I expected. There were some great vintage clips, but not enough muppets/monsters for me. This video seemed hastily thrown together with bad editing. I would recommend you pass on this one and get "123 Count With Me" instead.

Funny
Sesame Street does it again with a program that can be watched with equal entertainment value by both adults and children.That is, if the adult is old enough to have seen the Johnny Carson Show.I am, so I found it highly entertaining.Nathan (18 mo) found the skit about the dollhouse amusing, and liked the sitar music in the 1-10 skit, roller coaster and dancing chickens, etc.I like them, too, and the animation and music are great in every skit.Sesame Street Workshop produces some very creative work, and we need more like it.

Great, but why does this need a regional code?!?
My daughter loves the DVD, although the lower numbers are definitely a bit boring--for both of us! Unlike one of the other Sesame Street DVDs we have, this one forces you to watch a minute-long spiel on how the money used to buy the DVD goes to support children's programming all over the world. I can't get my computer to skip over it. Which brings me to the next point: WHY is there a regional code on this and other Sesame Street DVDs? I'm in Germany, and I have to watch these on my computer instead of TV because some schmo at Sony thought the DVD should only be viewable in North America? How does Sony or anyone else benefit from this? There are millions of Americans living abroad who want their children to see these, and the regional coding just results in fewer people buying the product. Sigh... Anyway, it's very good, and Elmo-free. ... Read more

Captures my son's attention
My son is now 2 yrs old & only Teletubbies really captures his attention & he finds it hilarious! We enjoy the "Grand ol Duke of York" sung by King Pleasure & the Biscuit Boys.
Mesmerizing and educational
My 19 month old has never been remotely interested in TV, but this video captured her.The first thing she says when she gets up in the morning is "See Teletubbies."She sings along with the tubbies DELIGHTEDLY and adores the Miss Muffet sequence.The laughter of the baby sun sends her into fits of amused shrieking. The video is not repetitive in the way the TV show and is genuinely educational.There are some boring bits, like an incomprehensible British child reading the Gingerbread Boy. My daughter waits in frustration for this to end to return to the Teletubbies. Hopefully she is learning patience. Irecommend this video 80%, based on the content and the fact that we now have previously unknown free time.I am withholding the last 20% because I can see my daughter's interest in books has waned dramatically since we got this video.

Very Fun and Very Cute
Setting aside the controversy about the Teletubbies, this is a great video.Read more
