Popular Mechanics for Kids (2005) Review

Popular Mechanics for Kids (2005)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We initially borrowed "Radical Rockets" from the library and my 4 year old son instantly became a die-hard fan of PMK. I decided to invest in the 6 DVD set for Christmas and it has been worth every penny! These are easily his favorite videos. While Charlie may seem silly to adults, his experiments get real science across to kids in a fun and easy way. My son thinks he's hysterical and talks about the PMK kids as if they're his buddies. His preschool teacher says he talks about his "mechanics videos" all the time as he explains (in his 4 year old way) things like how rockets work or how to survive in the desert to her. Highly recommended and definitely worthwhile - a fun, educational series for kids.

This is just another slap in the face to fans who grew up with these Rankin & Bass holiday classics! Fans of these specials have been wanting a complete box set done including all of these holiday gems, but instead we get a re-release of the same shows! Of course, we get 3 "never before available on DVD" specials only available on this set, so long time fans have to buy this set if they want the 3 new to DVD releases!?
To make matters worse 'Frosty and Rudolph's Christmas in July' is the same defective print where the voices are out of sync with the picture that was released a few years ago!
To make matters even worse than that, some copies have the wrong version of 'The Year Without A Santa Claus'!! I wish someone who cares about these films,, would pick up the ball and get these classic's done right!
Until then folks, I say leave this garbage in the bin and wait for someone who cares to release a proper set. Who wouldn't want a complete set of Rankin & Bass Holiday Classics totally restored?..... raise your hand!..............I thought so! :-D

I bought this for my 3 and 5 year old, who love MLP and have seen all of the recent movies. I have to say I am unhappy with the revamping of this favorite. This movie does not have the same quality as the rpevious movies! Along with a new too cutesie look these ponies are also sporting new (and not so great) attitudes. Instead of the adorable, sweet, caring, and loving friends that we know and love these ponies show jealousy, greed, envy, they fight, stick their tongues out at each other, sneak around to cover up a mistake, and lie. The redemption and moral that you might expect never really comes as they quickly wrap it up by tossing out a few quick and not heartfelt apologies. I was hugely upset with this movie and will probably get rid of it as soon as possible. I'll stick with our favorite loveable ponies!

The Little Vampire (2000) Review

The Little Vampire (2000)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Witty, well-acted kids flick that parents will enjoy as well.
A very winning cast, great location, superb kids' story to work with, good production make for some campy scariness for kids with entertainment for mom and dad as well. Charming little movie that appeals to the kid in all of us.The predicament of the cows really did make me laugh out loud.
The acting by one and all was excellent, especially Richard E. Grant as the head of the vampire family. He brought a non-threatening, yet nerve wracking (well, for kids, anyway) presence to the movie. His charming powers over Mrs. Thompson were hysterical, and the entire cast did very well with this movie.
One for the kids that mom and dad will enjoy sitting through, which is a rarity anymore, except for the likes of Shrek.
Oh, and I can't omit Rollo Weeks, as The Little Vampire himself. He was so charming, so perfectly nailed the role of Rudolph. As well as the role for arguably the cutest kid in movies, Jonathan Lipnicki, as Tony Thompson. The crush Anna had on him was acted out adorably by Anna Popplewell, as well. There was just great acting all around in The Little Vampire.
A job well done by all involved. Entertaining, campy, scary enough for the little ones without freaking them out even slightly, and still entertaining for the adults.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ruby is the patient and gently bossy big sister to Max. These bunnies share loving sibling rivalry as curious Max tries join in on playtime with Ruby and her friend Louise--often to Ruby's dismay!
This 96 minute DVD features 12 different episodes:
Max's Chocolate Chicken - Max and Ruby are looking for Easter Eggs, and whoever finds the most will win the Chocolate Chicken!
Ruby's Beauty Shop - Louise is coming over to play Beauty Shop with Ruby, and Max is going to be their first customer. Will he like looking gorgeous? (A very amusing episode!)
Max Drives Away - When Max drives away in his little red car, Ruby needs to play detective and search for clues to find him.
Camp Out - Ruby wants to camp outside, but Max wants to sleep outside the tent! And he wants to bring a few toys with him...
Ruby's Clubhous - Ruby and Louise are playing in their private clubhouse, but Max doesn't know the meaning of the word "private".
Max's Picnic - Ruby and Louise are bird watching before their picnic, but Max is more interested in watching the cupcake in the picnic basket.
The other six episodes in this delightful DVD are:
*Ruby's Merit Badge
*Max's Apple
*Quiet, Max!
*Max Misses the Bus
*Max's Wormcake
*Max's Rainy Day
My 6 year old really enjoys this DVD, sometimes watching it several times a day! There's something mesmerizing about Max and Ruby, and definitely amusing. Kids used to cartoons geared toward older children--or ones with loud, crass, fast-paced action--will find this DVD "slow". But for kids (and parents!) who are used to kinder, gentler, and softer cartoons, Max and Ruby is a delight.

Average Reviews:

Only 10-15 minutes of new Elmo material. All the rest is 10 years old or older. REM and Trisha Yearwood are from Season 30 (1998). Not your typical Elmo's World video. I was disappointed. BUT!!--It was all new to my toddler, and the old bit with Grover asking children to explain "love" is very sweet. Worth adding to your Elmo collection, but don't get too excited about "all-new" material. I'd also recommend picking it up at your local Wal-mart for $9.99, instead of paying Amazon $12.99 (as of 01/13/09).

I'm surprised at all the adults bashing this movie because THEY didn't like it! What I loved about this movie is that it does seem to cater entirely to childrens fantasies. I've seen many children watch it (because during my sons' obsession with it he had to show it to everyone!)and they were all mesmerized by it. I've even enjoyed it. The 3-D version is pointless though because unless you tweak your tv just right it is poor quality. Don't bother with that, just watch the 2-D version that is on the same disk. It's still great in 2-D. Little girls like this movie too, but a must have if you have little boys!

Another family adventure from the hit-making director of SPY KIDS(TM), THE ADVENTURES OF SHARKBOY AND LAVAGIRL is nonstop fun and stars Hollywood favorites David Arquette, Kristin Davis, and George Lopez. Everyone always knew that Max had a wild imagination ... but no one believed that his wildest creations -- a boy raised by watchful great white sharks and a girl with the force of a volcano -- were real! Now, these two pint-sized action masters will show Max that even an ordinary kid has what it takes to be extraordinary! Bursting with cool, eye-popping 3-D special effects -- even the smallest dreamers can become the biggest heroes in this entertaining motion picture!

This DVD is a compilation of shows from the PBS series Curious George. Since it began my 3 year old daughter has been in love with it. The stories are fun and will teach kids a thing or two. I love the narration by famous screen actor William H. Macy. Since it is almost 2 hours long it is great to have on long trips in the car. If your child liked the recent CG movie or is a fan of CG books, they are sure to enjoy this DVD.

We bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter who just got a big girl bed and was having trouble falling asleep. She could not express why, so we thought this video might help her articulate her feelings. It made everything worse. Now she is afraid of monsters in her room and everywhere else in the house.
I think if your child is already afraid of things in the dark it is GREAT, but if your child has no ideas about monsters, or total darkness fears you should not purchase it.

It's bedtime on Sesame Street! Just like all little kids, Elmo and Abby would rather make funny faces and sing silly songs than go to sleep. Luckily, Elmo\'s dad Louis knows just how to deal with extra glasses of water and little monsters who are afraid of the dark. Parents will love the practical strategies Louis uses to get Elmo and Abby to go to bed, and children will love snuggling under the covers with this timeless DVD.

The Backyardigans - Super Secret Super Spy (2004) Review

The Backyardigans - Super Secret Super Spy (2004)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This DVD contains the last episodes of Season Two of The Backyardigans, but luckily for us all, there's going to be a Season Three.
In a change of format, the first adventure is a double feature, rolled into one 60 minute spy movie named "International Super Spy (Parts 1 & 2)", complete with music, opening sequences, and lots of gadgets. Pablo plays Agent Secret, Tasha is the head of the secret service, and Austin is the kangaroo of many disguises as Pablo's faithful contact. Of course there must be villains, and this time Agent Secret is up against Uniqua, as the Lady in Pink and her evil henchman Tyrone, who looks like Odd Job. The assignment is to recover three cylinders before the bad guys do.
Modeled after the James Bond movies, this one provides excellent entertainment for all ages, with hot dance numbers and a guest appearance in voice over by Cyndi Lauper, the girl who knows how to have fun.
The next episode is "The Secret of Snow" where Uniqua seeks out Ice Lady Tasha to find the aforementioned secret. Austin is the Ice Lady's overworked and kind hearted assistant, while Pablo is a cowboy and Tyrone is a jungle dweller. This one is set to Christmas tunes including Jingle Bells, Good King Wenceslaus and Deck the Halls.
The show ends with "A Giant Problem" where Queen Uniqua's afternoon nap is rudely interrupted by the pitter patter of Tasha's giant feet. Silly sorcerers Tyrone and Pablo are commanded to chase the giant away, but aren't so sure they can handle such a big job. The music for this episode is immediately recognizable as `80s pop.
Another excellent Backyardigans DVD, and a must-have if you're a fan of the series.Amanda Richards, September 29, 2007

The robot repairman episode is the new favorite in our house. Great music, and definitely a fun movie for my kids (1 and 3). My son (3) asks to watch it every morning. The other two episodes on this disc are not that great, which is the reason for my 4-star review. Both episodes only have Tyrone, Pablo and Uniqua (missing Austin and Tasha) and they seem to fall flat. Overall though, definitely a good buy for Backyardigans fans!
**Robot Repairman: Austin is a robot repairman in Mega City. Together with Uniqua, Tasha and Tyrone, he must figure out why all the robots are suddenly malfunctioning. Set to disco music!
** Catch that Train: Uniqua is a train conductor moving the Czar to his winter home. She and Pablo must catch the runaway train before it's too late.
** 50 Foot Worman: Pablo and Uniqua are scientists at a university. Uniqua is studying wormen, and Pablo is working on a growth formula. When the two mix, they team up with Tyrone to shrink the worman.

Each adventure takes place in the imaginations of the five friends who turn their shared backyard into different fantasy worlds, each episode full of song and dance numbers of various music genres.
This DVD has four episodes:
1. The Snow Fort: Pablo and Tyrone are brave and fearless Mounties, defending their snow fort and the treasure within. Tasha and Uniqua are Ski Patrollers with a thermos full of hot chocolate, just looking for someone to rescue. Mounties on duty! Ski Patrol to the rescue! An action packed adventure set to a Country music theme.
2. The Yeti: Four funky songs and a catchy cry of "Yeti yeti yeti yeti!" as the friends hunt the elusive hairy, smelly, raisin-eating Yeti.
3. Knights Are Brave and Strong: Uniqua the Pink battles the Moose of the Mist and the Guardian of the Gate to deliver an important message from Queen Tasha to King Austin. Big band swing and four new songs.
4. Secret Mission: Saving the best for last, secret agents Pablo, Tyrone and Uniqua negotiate the booby traps in a treasure museum to the beat of the tango and limbo.

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo: Complete 2nd, 3rd and 4th Seasons (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This DVD set contains the second, third and fourth seasons of the late eighties early nineties series, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne, Velma and Freddy all star in this series similar to the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You? mystery format only as four children and a puppy solving Mysteries around Coolsville as the Scooby-Doo Detective Agency. The set contains the following 17 episodes:
14 Curse of the Collar
15 The Return of Commander Cool
16 The Spirit of Rock'n Roll
17 Chickenstein Lives!
18 Night of the Living Burger
19 The Computer Walks Among Us
20 Dog Gone Scooby
21 Terror, thy Name is Zombo (aka Roller Ghoster Ride!)
22 Night of the Boogey Biker
23 Dawn of the Spooky Shuttle Scare
24 Wrestle Maniacs
25 Horror of the Haunted Hairpiece
26 The Mayhem of the Moving Mollusk
27 The Ghost of Mrs Shusham
28 Cather on the Sly
29 The Wrath of Wait-Ro
30 The Weredog of Doo Manor
Remember these were made back in 89', the animation still looks great considering, and the characters are all molded more to the style and lingo of that era with a little sixties style thrown in as a callback to the original series. The set will also contain a bonus episode of Shaggy and Scooby Get A Clue called Party Arty.
If you're looking at this because you are a fan of the episodes or just like Scooby-Doo you will enjoy them and the price is certainly right. If you're looking at this for your children all I can say is I find it better and with more lessons to be found than the more recent Scooby-Doo series. I prefer this to Get A Clue or the later What's New Scooby-Doo.
I enjoy the episode theme's and find there is humor to be found in aspects such as a recurring character named Red Herring, who Freddy always claims to be the one responsible though he rarely ever was. Humor is there for adults who remember the earlier series and this show also does a great job expanding elements from that time, such as this series being set in Coolsville and frequently having the gang's detective agency reach out to help family member's or relatives as was a recurring theme in the original series. This series also gives us a closer look at the character's backrounds, immediate family members and gives nice explanation to how the Mystery Inc. gang got started in the mystery solving business.
Though my favorite will always be the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You? episodes that I grew up watching in syndication, I feel A Pup Named Scooby-Doo does a fine job in carrying on the legacy and making it accessible to preschool ages while still being fun enough for older children and enjoyable for anyone who loves Scooby-Doo. Amazing Price, seventeen episodes, interesting plotlines and many callbacks to the original series. I give this 5 stars for anyone who is a fan of Scooby-Doo and the gang.
