(More customer reviews)"We have been watching the DVD series "Little Amadeus". We are learning about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We like that the stories are funny, but they tell us real details about his life. Amadeus was an adventurous little boy and he sometimes got into trouble. We learned that the Mozart family were musicians, but that Amadeus was a musical genius. Amadeus was composing music at 8 years old! That is amazing! We are learning about different musical instruments that he played and used in his music. It's neat to be able to listen to the radio and to hear his music playing."

I have enjoyed "listening" to the DVD's while in the car. The kids find them interesting and actually ask if they can watch them. I like that there is factual information and enjoy the original compositions that are played throughout the episodes. However, it is sometimes difficult to know what the factual details are and which ones are just making a funny story. I have not done a ton of research on the Mozart family, so when the kids ask if something really happened I can not say for sure. Guess I need to study up! Also, for those with younger viewers, the words "stupid" and "idiot" are used several times. And for parents with older children, there are some thematic elements that I had to discuss after viewing (cheating on school work with no repercussion, mild bullying) There was a villain throughout the series, who, in the end, always failed to accomplish what he wanted. I found him to be pretty harmless...creative, but harmless. All in all, this series is a great investment for a bit of Music Appreciation and Music History. The set actually includes student pages and classroom activities which were a great compliment to the DVD's. I recommend the series highly, but be prepared to know your facts...your kids just might ask you!
