Review of Jungle Book (DVD)

123 save your money

Advantages: Not many
Disadvantages: A very poor title

I undeerstand that the point of ciao is to write detailed reviews for products but even talking about this title annoys me. Why? Lets start at the begining... I am a fan of DVDs for babies and have several of the Baby Einstein range for my youngest (world animals, mozart, Newton etc). I don't mind payinf £17.99 for these as they are watched over and over and over again. However I do object to this title which cost £15.99 and was watched once and ...
...on a Wednesday afternoon. As you probably guessed the title is to try and help kids learn about numbers. However all we get is footage from what looks like its from an old american kids show as we count through from 1 to 10. Okay I understand that number is not rocket science but this title is just simply dull. This is not just from my point of view but I couldn't get my little one to watch more that 10 minutes before looking around the room and ...

Review of Beauty And The Beast (DVD)

IT'S A DVD REVIEW, CHARLIE BROWN

Advantages: Snoopy!
Disadvantages: None. Zilch.

...explanation of the two classic peanuts programmes which are on the disc. The first "IT'S THE EASTER BEAGLE, CHARLIE BROWN" is a short piece of film first shown in 1974. This programme shows the peanuts gang preparing for Easter; well apart from Linus who insists that the 'Easter Beagle' will appear magically and hand out "candy" on Easter morning. Without wanting to give too much away the programme ends in typical Schulz fashion, with a subtle message ...
...and we also follow the peanuts gang struggling to deal with life after Snoopy. Despite my best efforts not to give away the ending, if you've ever read or watched any Snoopy before I'm sure you can guess the ending anyway. Well it goes without saying I loved every moment of this DVD but what about the average Joe? Children will love the DVD being able to empathise with the scrapes that the peanuts gang find themselves in, older viewers can also enjoy ...

...When she wakes up, Thumbelina tries to explain to the woman about her important mission and how the lives of the little people may be at stake if she doesn't reach the prince in time, but it's no use, the woman refuses to listen, so thrilled she is with her new companion. That night, a frog enter's the woman's house and steals Thumbelina away as she sleeps. Thus, begins Thumbelina's long quest through a big world of meadows, fields and the four seasons. ...
...kind old mouse who invites Thumbelina to spend the long winter with her in her comfortable home, but when the opportunity comes for her to earn valuable goods in exchange of convincing the girl to marry an ugly old mole, she wastes no opportunity. Golden Films' "Thumbelina" is probably one of the sweetest, most charming films I grew up with, and it is without a doubt a fine example of what children's films should be like. From the very start, "Thumbelina" ...
