Sensational Sounds Of The 70s - Vol. 2 DVD

Advantages: classic learning fun
Disadvantages: not an actual season box set

...Growing up, when I was a small child, some of my very best TV buddies were named Grover, Bob, Bert, Ernie, Gordon, Maria, and Big Bird, and the neighbourhood shop I knew best was Mr Hooper's. I am of course, referring to my old friends from Sesame Street as it was in the late 60's to mid 70's when every midmorning I sat down avidly digesting their antics and inadvertently learned to count, how to say my alphabet, how to sound out words, how to cross the street safely, and many more topics my young mind needed to know.

In Vol 2. we get more in depth information relating to the characters in the movie, and we get the cataclysmic ending that just the movie justice.

Advantages: it will keep the kids quiet for hours
Disadvantages: it is only for the kids it will not apeal to anyone else

...This is a great DVD that will appeal to all children under the ages of 11. It is a great addition to the pokemon series that every pokemon fanatic should have. It features loads of pokemon in bright colours that look good on any telly. It features 5 totally different episodes oak napped, the blue badge of courage, showdown at the oak corral, were no angels and my personal favourite cerulean blues in which misty tryst to reclaim her gym. I think the voices of the pokemon work well and charm. The voices of the humans are easy to rember and don`t sound at all odd. The caracter and secenery drawing in my view is well draw and full of charm it is easy to get used to and grows on you well i did to me. This is very out off the ordinary because there is nothing like it that has kept on going for so long there used to be a very... Read review
