Walt Disney's Fables - Vol. 1 (Animated) (DVD)

walt Disney Fables Volume 2!

Advantages: 6 short stories so keeps the children entertained without them becoming bored!
Disadvantages: Cant spend time with my niece as all she wants to do is watch it!

This DVD is fantastic! It kept my niece (and myself!) entertained for over an hour! It contains all the magic of disney and its unique story telling layout will mesmerise the children long enough for you to have some 'me' time! It is one of those DVD's that they can watch time after time and not get bored as it contains six short animated childrens stories which will keep the children entertained!, It was well worth the investment! The DVD contains all those favourite stories such as the ugly duckling and The old mill and i would say it is well worth the purchase especially if you have children between the ages of four and ten! In fact the only draw back is i cant spend time with my niece anymore as all she wants to do is watch this DVD! ...

Mr Bean - The Animated Series - Vol. 1 DVD

Advantages: distracts the children
Disadvantages: not funny, humour very simple and mostly slapstick or toilet houmour.

I'm quite surprised to learn that some people atually like the animated series of Mr Bean, and find it just as entertaining, if not more appealing than the 'proper' Mr Bean. When I refer to proper Mr Bean I am of course talking about Rowna Atkinson's smash hit comedy sitcom in the 90's which followed a dry and whimsical character make a complete mess of very simple everyday activities like a trip to the swimming pool, parking his car, or visiting the cinema. Personally I love the original Mr Bean, although some detest his bumbling foolish nature, I find him entertaining on a unique scale. Maybe it's because a part of me feels sorry for him or that in some cercumstances it is really quite ingenuis how you can get make some of the simplest tasks a complete disaster. However the animated series proved to be a complete let down ...

Review of Mr Bean - The Animated Series Vol.1 (DVD)

'Animated' - not very!

Advantages: Not a lot to comment on!
Disadvantages: didn't keep the kids attention, not as animated or colourful expected

I bought this DVD for my 4 year old nephew and neice of 7. Usually they will happily sit and watch a DVD, with the most important features probabily being the colours, voices and for my neice something to make her laugh. Initially the kids were fine watching it, but about 10 mins into it, they were getting restless and they were not impressed. They seemed more interested in having it on in the backround wilst doing numerous other things!! I guess with the high quality of animation of today, its no surprise. Therefore I would not really recommend you buy this product, mainly as there are so many options in terms of DVD's that you are able to buy, which will far exceed what this childrens DVD has to offer. ...
