Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Rising to the challenge of Dogma 95's self-imposed restrictions on aesthetic freedom, Thomas Vinterberg's The Celebration is a remarkable example of the way limits can give rise to creative opportunity. (Dogma 95 is a Danish filmmakers collective that also includes Lars von Trier, director of Breaking the Waves. The group crafted a manifesto in which its members vow to eschew special lighting, optical effects, props, and the visible imprint of a director's personality in order to attain higher truths yielded by characters.) The Celebration, shot with a small video camera and transferred to 35mm film, concerns a black-tie birthday gathering for a family patriarch, Helge (Henning Moritzen), which erodes into a battle after long-suppressed secrets are revealed and the chance to settle old scores presents itself. Among the grievances are an accusation of incest and the responsibility for the death of a child--gruesome stuff, but Vinterberg doesn't characterize the partying crowd's reaction in quite the way one might have expected. In fact, the whole of The Celebration is about unexpected perspectives and vantage points emerging from out of nowhere, largely due to Vinterberg's free hand at editing the film in such a way as to yank truth from every corner. This is a strong work that belies skepticism over Dogma 95's bare-bones trendiness, and is perhaps a harbinger of great work to come from Vinterberg. --Tom Keogh

Disney's 1959 animated effort was the studio's most ambitious to date, a widescreen spectacle boasting a gorgeous waltz-filled score adapting Tchaikovsky. In the 14th century, the malevolent Maleficent (not dissimilar to the wicked Queen in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) taunts a king that his infant Aurora will fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday. This, of course, would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love. Things almost but not quite turn out that way, thanks to the assistance of some bubbly, bumbling fairies named Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. It's not really all that much about the title character--how interesting can someone in the middle of a long nap be, anyway? Instead, those fairies carry the day, as well as, of course, good Prince Phillip, whose battle with the malevolent Maleficent in the guise of a dragon has been co-opted by any number of animated films since. See it in its original glory here. And Malificent's castle, filled with warthogs and demonic imps in a macabre dance celebrating their evil ways, manages a certain creepy grandeur. --David Kronke

Description

Heralded by audiences and critics alike, SLEEPING BEAUTY was the final fairy tale to be produced by Walt Disney himself. Now fully restored with revolutionary digital technology, its dazzling colors, rich backgrounds, and Academy Award(R)-nominated orchestrations shine brighter than ever. When an enchanted kingdom and the most fair princess in the land fall prey to the ultimate mistress of evil, the fate of the empire rests in the hands of three small fairies and a courageous prince's magic kiss. Their quest is fraught with peril as the fellowship must battle the evil witch and a fire-breathing dragon if they are to set the Beauty free. From spectacular action to the breathtaking pageantry of the princess and her kingdom, SLEEPING BEAUTY has something to charm every member of your family.

Once upon a DREAM . . . Good & Dark Fairies, Kings & Princes, Fire Breathing Dragon & a Golden Beauty.......2007-06-16

Once upon a Dream, many moons ago, when I was a child; I viewed this Dark Disney Fairy Tale and became instantly mesmirized by all fairy folk and tales to be told. Dear Walt gave us little gals the imagined lore of pretty Princess's or Princess's to be. As well as the Tom boy in me, the warrior Princes with sword and shield fighting for the greatest cause . . . defending ones kingdom from evil overbearing forces.

My undying luv for the winged serpents of old - Dragons, is all given credit due to my favorite Walt Disney villian . . .
Malevolent Maleficent, considered a Dark Fairy (more suitable in Disney standards of the time than a witch) who transformed her being into the statuesque purple fire breathing dragon in the ending battle together with Prince Phillip and the delightful fairies; Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather to save the realm from darkness.

MALEVOLENT MALEFICENT, THE DARKEST FAIRY - notable quotes:
"The Forest of Thorns shall be his tomb!
Move through the skies on a fog of doom!
Now go with the curse, and serve me well!
Round Stefan's Castle, CAST MY SPELL!"

"She is indeed, most wondrous fair.
Gold of sunshine in her hair,
lips that shame the red red rose.
In ageless sleep, she finds repose.
The years roll by, but a a hundred years to a steadfast heart, are but a day.
And now, the gates of a dungeon part, and our prince is free to go his way.
Off he rides, on his noble steed, a valiant figure, straight and tall!
To wake his love with "loves' first kiss"! And prove that "true love" conquers all! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

SLEEPYING BEAUTY is most intoxicating, hilariously funny, beautiful artistry, classical music and captivating characters immortalized. Both an enchantment and fulfilling destiny, from a prickling finger to a long awaited magical kiss.

Other Disney's to see in the realm of Princess Fairy tales:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Cinderella (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Platinum Edition)

Walt Disney has been adored and admired by many generations since his beginning in the movie animation industry. Sir Walt has become a part of movie making history and his Disney kingdom will continue to grow, and for future generations, his legend will live on evermore.

LadyGray quote:
"The last in Sir Walts time, a Fairy Tale to be told;
The setting of the stage is a unique Dark Disney mold.
This adventurous stunning musical for all to see and believe;
A long quest to save a kingdom and release Sleeping Beauty free."

LadyGray

One of the best.......2007-05-31

I purchased this DVD at a used bookstore for $14.95 and I was expecting it to be damaged in some way, but it wasn't!

Anyway, this is the classic Disney movie about a jealous witch, a beautiful princess, three bumbling fairies, a handsome prince, and the spell.

I highly recommend that everyone watch this movie with their children.

A+++

Fine artwork, classical music, and destinations around the world are the order of the day for the Little Einsteins, a group of musically-minded children who travel the world in their trusty rocket ship looking for adventure. Each of these three CGI animated adventures encourages viewers ages 2 to 7 to get involved by clapping along and promotes the development of careful listening skills and an understanding of basic musical terminology. In "The Birthday Machine," June, Leo, Quincy, Annie, and Rocket can't wait to construct a birthday machine, but their quest for parts takes them deep within Michelangelo Buonarroti's painting "The Laurentian Library" and then on a gondola ride through the canals of Venice where they chase and order specific melodic fragments from Johann Sebastian Bach's "Brandenberg Concerto Number 5." In "Go West Young Train," the group journeys to the American Wild West where they experience the art of Navajo basketry and the music of Georges Bizet while helping Little Red Train recover a bag of party supplies stolen by Big Jet. Finally, the group journeys around the globe from Seattle, Washington to the tropical rainforest of Henri Rousseau's "The Merry Jesters" and the ice floes of Antarctica in "The Birthday Balloons." Along the way, they pick out melodic fragments from Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and recapture a handful of runaway balloons. The DVD bonus feature "You've Got a Mission" gives viewers a chance to pilot Rocket on their own mission to gather party goods. --Tami Horiuchi

One major flaw outweighs all of the good qualities.......2007-05-18

As a grandmother, I am always on the lookout for good, nonviolent videos for my two young grandsons. I was very excited when I started watching this one yesterday and thought I had finally found something good. The educational features are wonderful--world geography, introduction to classical music, physics, etc. However, in the second episode, "Go West, Young Train," I was absolutely sickened to see that the only villain in the entire DVD is a sneaking, thieving airplane that looks very much like a Blue Angels jet. This underhanded attempt to brainwash very young children into hating our military makes me furious. I had to explain to my very intelligent 3-year-old grandson that this is just a movie and when he sees airplanes like that, he needs to realize that their purpose is to serve and protect us, not to harm us as this one did, switching the track to make the cute little train plunge over the rim of the Grand Canyon. Parents, wake up! Know what your children are watching! I won't be watching these again, and it's too bad, because in all other ways, they are truly excellent.

This is the third Little Einsteins video I purchased for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. Although she nor I enjoyed the Baby Einstein videos, we both love the Little Einsteins. I LOVE that they incorporate art and classic music, as well as fairly accurate portraits of the areas in which they travel. The music is not annoying like so many kids videos, and my toddler interacts well with the storylines. So far, I have to give Disney the credit they deserve for these videos.

Yes, Virginia, there was a Sesame Street before the Age of Elmo. This 1993 collection highlights the role of music in the long-running series from Children's Television Workshop, and reminds us that such Jim Henson creations as Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Ernie and Bert were once part of a true ensemble of Muppet superstars. Nothing against Elmo, of course: kids adore him and he makes enough appearances in this anthology (including the show-stopping "Happy Tappin' with Elmo") to keep today's tykes happy. Also included is Ernie's classic "Rubber Duckie" (really, who doesn't know the words to that?), Oscar's anthemic "I Love Trash," you-know-who's "C Is for Cookie," and Big Bird's Big Finale, a rendition of "Sing" that includes the entire cast. There are 27 tunes in all, and they don't all involve singing puppets: Ladysmith Black Mambazo turns up for one track, and the "Sesame Street Jam Session" includes some actual playing of instruments. --Tom Keogh

Captivates my daughter - and makes me laugh!.......2007-06-13

I think this collection is wonderful - my daughter LOVES watching it - she is captivated when it's on. I have tried other shows, like baby einstein, Barney, disney, and so on - but nothing gets her attention the way Sesame Street does. I love it because it gives me a few minutes a day to do things around the house - like fold laundry, make bottles, do dishes, pay bills etc, etc. A MUST have, in my opinion!

My toddler loves this video........2007-05-25

My toddler absolutely loves this video - from beginning to end, he's usually watching with a smile or playing and watching at the same time. Either way, the songs are a huge hit with him. And from a parent's perspective, plenty of stuff I remember enjoying as a child! (My hubby, too.) It's a good mix of songs, enjoyable to watch even as an adult. Definitely a video worth having.

Best Sesame yet.......2007-04-02

I try to limit the amount of television my 18 month old watches. I have been less impressed with many of the Sesame Street videos, but this one is FABULOUS! Educational, music filled, cultural, and fun! I couldnt recommend this DVD more for 'real' Sesame fans. And most importantly it isnt over run by the Elmo craze.

Our daughter is addicted to Elmo's World, so when I saw this DVD, I ordered it with the hopes that it would entertain her and keep us from going Elmo crazy. She loves this DVD and we all watch it together. The songs are very catchy and it keeps her attention for the times we need five minutes

Product Description

Filmed on November 29, 2002 before a sold-out audience at Royal Albert Hall the CONCERT FOR GEORGE is a beautifully filmed, joyous celebration of some of the most significant music of the 20th century. Include breathtaking performances of some of George's songs from rock's most influential artists and pop culture icons including, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Monty Python, Anoushka Shankar, Ravi Shankar, and Ringo Starr. This 2 DVD set is produced in 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound. ?

Amazon.com

Exceptionally moving but not the least bit sentimental, Concert for George is a splendid tribute to the late George Harrison, whose contributions to the Beatles were so often hidden in the long shadows of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. A year to the day after Harrison's November 29, 2001 death, Eric Clapton assembled some musicians--people who had played with Harrison and known him intimately, including McCartney, Ringo Starr, and Tom Petty--to perform his music at London's Royal Albert Hall. They take on not just the predictable ("My Sweet Lord" and "Something," beautifully sung by Billy Preston and Sir Paul, respectively), but also lesser-known fare like "Old Brown Shoe" and "Beware of Darkness," all to superbly empathetic effect. But the tune most likely to make you misty-eyed is "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," which brings together three of the five musicians who played on the original recording: Ringo on drums, Clapton replicating his own classic solo, and McCartney playing piano and harmonizing with Clapton's lead vocal. Concert for George enjoyed a brief theatrical release, but even those who caught it on the big screen will delight in this two-disc DVD edition. Disc 1 features the complete concert (sans interview and rehearsal footage, but with a few additional songs and in the original running order), while disc 2 contains the theatrical version and some additional backstage and photo material. All in all, a beautiful piece of work. Wish you were here, George--but man, what a way to be missed. --Sam Graham

My sweet lord.......2007-06-27

Has it already been four years since this came out? My, how the tide of time pulls and rushes. I saw "The Concert for George" in a state-of-the-art, largely empty movie theater and found it wonderful, but it played even better in my home, channeled through my faithful and exquisite friend, my stereo. This, quite simply, and without belaboring a point made by, at last count, 319 others here on Amazon, is the finest concert film I have ever seen on countless levels. It is a melancholy joy from beginning to end, from Anoushka and the epic, ecstatic Indians to Clapton -- earning every letter in the word genius -- to the always playful Ray Cooper to Ringo to Dhani right through to the strum of the ukes and wonderland of a finish. The cinematography is magnificent as is the sound production and coherence of the band and musical vision. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. God bless John, Paul, George and Ringo.

I liked the concert; however, I must be compeltely honest - it is hard for me to sit through the entire dvd and pay attention and I am HUGE fan of George!

A Concert for George on DVD is outstanding! The various artist were
amazing. I'm sure that Dhani was quite elated with a concert that
was well put together as a tribute to his late dad, George harrison.

A proper tribute to George and his music.......2007-05-22

I wanted to go to this concert in the worst way when it was announced. Why it took so long to see the DVD I don't know. This was by far the best concert video I have ever seen!

The Indian Orchestra which starts the show was amazing. Monty Python was, well, Monty Python. I loved it!

Eric Clapton was the only choice for musical director for this event. The songs they chose and the musicians chosen to do the leads were perfect! The arrangement of Something is worth owning the DVD alone.

Even if you're a casual George Harrison fan, this is a must have for your collection!

Reverence, Respect, and Love.......2007-05-14

Much has been written here regarding the magic that was created that night in Albert Hall as a tribute to George by those who obviously loved him. Kudos to Clapton to have arranged an incredible evening of sight and sound from the grand venue, to the song selection and arrangements. It was overwhelming for me to watch the concert unfold from the Indidan compositions, to Monty Python's contributions, and finally expressions of love from his good friends in life who played with him throughout his potent musical career. You realize what kind of man he was as you listen to his songs filled with hope and compassion that were performed flawlessly and respectful to the way George recorded them.

I was continually surprised by the choice of songs, and thought I'd never hear any of them live---ever! By Dahni joining Lynne, and Petty for "Handle With Care," I was dumbfounded. I was sucked in to Paul's sentimental ukelele solo of "Something" that exploded into the best full blown rendition I ever heard; and yes Clapton's and McCartney's harmony in the refrain brought me to tears.

Along with Sam Brown's vocals which were astounding on "Horse to Water" and Joe Brown's finale "See You in My Dreams," was the chilling piano introduction to "My Guitar Gently Weeps." Clapton had played the lead guitar bridge on the White Album version as a guest performer, which was unheard of at the time. To play along with Ringo on drums and Paul on piano, Clapton brought us as close to heaven and George as we could get that night in Royal Albert Hall. A perfect celebration for an extraordinary man.

In 1998 a concert at the Royal Albert Hall celebrated Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th birthday and featured more than two hours of hits from a body of work spanning almost three decades. In this keepsake of a memorable night, star after star steps on to a massive, Eurovision-style set to revisit golden moments in their long association with Britain's most successful composer of musicals. Elaine Paige in big frocks and an even bigger voice delivers "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "Memory" with her usual power; Michael Ball and Donny Osmond stretch the last vestiges of boyish charm to the very limits but still sound great; and Boyzone gets the youth vote. Then there are Kiri Te Kanawa, Bonnie Tyler, Tina Arena, and, of course, another encore for brother Julian Lloyd Webber and those Variations on the cello. But the stars are Sir Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Brightman in an outstanding selection from The Phantom of the Opera (probably his best work), Antonio Banderas (who really can sing), and Glenn Close, a stupendous, moving Norma Desmond in songs from Sunset Boulevard. All in all, a deserved celebration for someone who has given so many people a great deal of pleasure, and a treat for musicals fans of all ages. --Piers Ford

Like Schoolhouse Rock, Marlo Thomas's 1970s children's TV show, Free to Be… You and Me met with immediate success and became a treasured piece of entertainment over the years. Based on her award-winning album of songs, skits, and comedy, Free to Be explores the infinite possibilities of childhood. Fans know most of the skits in the 45-minute show verbatim, and it's easy to see why right from the beginning with an infectious title track followed by a puppet sketch featuring Thomas and Mel Brooks as newborns. Top talent appears on both sides of the camera, including Alan Alda who directs and performs a cartoon about a boy who wants a doll. However, the presentation does show its age at times: a teenage Michael Jackson singing (with Roberta Flack) on how he's not going to change when he grows up. For all ages. --Doug Thomas

Sadly dated, get the CD.......2007-05-12

I vaguely recall bits and pieces of video from my childhood, but it was still a bit of a shock when I got the DVD. The CD seems unfortunately timeless, but the DVD looks very very dated. Some of the animations (e.g. "Atalanta" and "William's Doll") aren't too bad, but the rest is too 70s. Get the CD instead, you'll be much happier.

Stands the test of time.......2007-03-24

Kids loved this. Girls 7 (first grade) and 5 (pre k) and son 2 yrs. We moved from a very relaxed, well funded, full of arts school district to across the world, heavily congested, low funded little to standard art school district. Found the transition from fun sunny friends to competitive relatively unhappy community tough. This video really helped my 7 year old see her diversity in a soft and soothing way, believe it helped her move. Kids loved it for the entertainment value too. I swear I heard their brains blooming open with possibilities when they watched this. I loved the retro revisiting my childhood of it. It was a lot shorter than I remember it, which is handy for rewatching.

Fun for me, and my 2 yr. old.......2007-02-10

I knew this stuff from the album, but hadn't ever seen the TV show. It is dated...cartoon unicorns flying off a carousel in Central Park. And unfortunately the video quality was obviously mediocre to start with. But it is fun, and the humorous parts are enduring. The songs are great too, as you'd remember if you were young when this came out...

I left my 2 yr old this morning on the couch watching the puppet babies (Mel Brooks and Marlo T) doing the I AM A BOY/GIRL thing--she had a big smile on her face..

heartwarming.......2007-02-06

It is so nice to hear this music again! My daughter enjoys it immensely and it'll be so nice to both be able to be nostalgic about it someday. I love that they're putting these shows from my youth onto DVD so she can enjoy them also.

A classic from my childhood (in the 1970's).......2007-02-02

Sure, it's dated, and not a lot of kids know who Rosie Greer is. But, if you don't love it for the simple childhood "niceness" factor, rent it for the kitsch factor -- a young Michael Jackson is a hoot!

New Favorite.......2007-06-02

This was a perfect introduction into this type of music and dance. We loved it. It will remain a favorite.

WOW!!!.......2007-05-25

I didn't want to leave the theater when I originally saw this film. Any musician, especially music teachers, will appreciate the multiculturalism that "Pulse" displays. (My students beg to watch this movie when I have a substitute.) "Pulse" is a great way to expose yourself and others to the vast variety of music that exists in our world. It is moving and absolutely breathtaking -- Enjoy!

Teachers.......2007-05-20

Pulse is an excellent video for the classroom. Students from elementary through high school will enjoy watching this video.

Finally!.......2007-03-21

I've waited a long time for this IMAX film to be put on DVD so I could share it with my music students. I'm so excited that it's finally available!

Everything is there, plus some cool extras.

However, my excitement is tempered by the following:

The only reason I give it four stars instead of five is that the film was simply compressed from IMAX down to a letterbox.

Everyone looks a bit squished - noticeably wider and shorter than they did in the film. This is unfortunate because in the extras, everyone is proportioned correctly, obviously filmed with regular film instead of IMAX film.

This DVD has been a long time coming.......2007-02-03

Pulse: A Stomp Odyssey works along the premise that music--and more accurately, rhythm--is the global language. To that end, the Stomp team has done a fantastic job of collecting and filming cultural rhythms from around the globe. For those expecting something along the lines of Stomp's live performances such as the ones showcased in Stomp Out Loud, prepare to be disappointed. But for those looking for a creative and fantastic journey of discovery, Pulse delivers in spades.

Young dinosaur friends Little Foot, Cera, Spike, Ducky, and Petrie are content with their lives in the Great Valley, but things keep changing and sometimes the friends just feel like they don't quite fit in. As Petrie struggles to perfect his flying for the very important Day of the Flyers, he realizes how different he is from his brothers and sisters and, while he and his friends value his uniqueness, it's causing big problems in the family's flight formations. Meanwhile, Cera is struggling with the arrival of a new baby sister and the resulting lack of attention from her father and Tria. When an odd creature named Guido shows up in the valley, Petrie befriends him and learns an important lesson about how to maintain his individuality while still contributing to his family's collaborative flight. A courageous act by Guido saves Cera's sister from peril, helping Cera realize how much she really cares about her new sister, and sparking a personal revelation that gives Guido a much better sense of his own place in the world. This is an entertaining animated show with a wholesome message about the importance of friendship, adaptability, and uniqueness. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Great kid's movie........2007-05-21

The movie is really cute and fun for the kids. They love the music and all the friendly characters.

A worthy addition to The Land Before Time serious.......2007-05-09

The newest installment has the lovable dinos meeting a new and unique creature named Guido. Guido has no memories of who or what he is other than his name. It is up to Littlefoot and the gang to help Guido find his place in the world. Petrie has the most to gain from associating with Guido because like Guido he is having a hard time fitting in with the other flyers. Petrie is having trouble getting ready for the day of the flyers (his rite of passage to become an adult) because he must learn to fly in formation with his siblings. However, he is only good at flying when alone. The whole premis of the movie is that Guido and Petrie learn that it is OK to be different and to accept who you are.

Great Stories with a good moral ending.......2007-05-07

All the "land Before Time movies are great for kids and I dont mind watching them with my granddaughter.I wonder how many of them there are?

not as good as 1-6 but decent.......2007-04-17

Just to inform you these movies have a different cast than the original movie which came out in 1988 most of the characters have been recast since the first movie. I also thought I'd inform you that even though this is marked as the 12 movie I actually think this is the thirtenth movie because if I remember correctly I belive Great Water and Tinosaurus came out before this not longneck migration if I remember the order correctly from which I saw them in. These movie up till either either saurus rock or the big freeze can't remember which of the two came first used to be on cartoon newtwork alot but have not been one for several years. I belive the last time I saw number four was some time inbetween 1999 and 2003 maybe earlier maybe later. This movie takes place shortly after the events in Tinysarus if they movie were all released in chronological order. Little foot and friends are back in this movie. Peter is struggling to fit in with his brother and sister and Sara new mother Trica has had a baby pink female triciratops. This movie has some good musical number like all the previous films except the original which was meant to be more of an action moviethan a kids movie even though the musical mumbers have been some what reduced from the previous movies. Even thought time of the great flyers has great musical numbers it some what lack some of the action sequences an intensity of the previous films. A word of warning this movie has some occasional mild scary cartoon like action sequences mid way through the movie starting around scene 8 when a new character Guido start sleep walking until he eventually wakesup and one mildy disgusting scene when Guido force his way out of a carnorsaurus mouth after it tries to swallow him and is drench in carnosarus silva for a couple of minutes which can be seeing dripping off his body. Due to these reason stated this movie might not be appropriate or may be questionable to children under the age of 12 years of age depending on what content in the movie there parents or guardian think is apprpriate if the consider any of it appropriate. A word of advice if you like these movies but don't want to order them individual one at a time in DVD format you can order Land Before time movies 1-4 on dvd format together at the same time and it will only cost you some were from about $21 to 30$ with the shipping fee include to purchase them if you do not get them in mint condition or better. A word of advice even though these movies are ment to be made for kids ages 3 to 7 years of age you might want to wait until your about 15 years of age or older before you see the first five movies because if your a kid thats faint of heart meanning you get scared easily or have a lot of difficult telling fake from real like I did growing up the first five films especially the original movie and the fourth movie land of the misits maybe to intense for you to watch by your self.

Classic Dr. Suess that the child in all of us will love.......2007-05-12

I remember these videos from my childhood and now my kids are enjoying them too. My 2 yo son loves me to read the Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham over and over. I thought this would be a great visual addition to our regular reading and all three of my kids love it. Of course there are several more great stories on the DVD as well. A great way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Suess. Plus, you can't beat Alan Sherman as the Cat's voice.

Excellent DVD.......2007-05-08

I am an Elementary teacher and purchased this DVD to enrich my Dr. Seuss unit about rhyming, poetry and social issues. The animation is wonderful, and it brings the stories my students have heard hundreds of times to life. Not to mention, each story has an important message. After reading "The Lorax" and seeing it on this DVD, we decided as a class to plant a tree for Earth day. For teachers or even parents with young children, Dr. Seuss inspires and teaches with rhyming, phonemic awareness and also important social messages. This DVD is more than cartoons, it is a wonderful opportunity to enrich young lives.

Dr Seuss: visonnary with wit, fantasy and serious messages.......2007-03-09

Although I sometimes doubt about translating books into movies/animation, I was positively impressed by the quality of Dr Seuss films. I purchased the DVD for "the Lorax" exclusively, which is a masterpiece (book AND film), but also loved many other ones, especially "the sneetches". All of them are fun, with the inimitable rhythm and humor of Dr Seuss... but I am amazed at the way he grasps serious subjects like the society of consumption, profit and greed distroying the environment (the Lorax), or like racism, social discrimination and stupidity (Sneetches)! Great for ages 4 to 100! Bravo Dr Seuss! Hope there were more people like you!

Classics.......2007-01-12

All the classics are on this DVD. You wouldn't think Dr. Seuss would be bad for young children since the books are great for first time readers but my son starting pointing aggressively and saying "NO" and "OUT" just like the fish does to the Cat in the Hat when we would ask him not to do something. There is always at least one character that is angry.

AWESOMERIFICTULAR.......2006-08-16

This is a grrrrreat DVD. All the animated Dr. Seuss toons are here except for How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Almost 3 hours of Seuss on 1 DVD! The quality is excellent. I like this DVD most of all becasue it's very space-saving.

Fun, but...........2007-06-21

Ok, so I almost feel bad giving this three stars, because I DO enjoy it-it's a fun little dance routine that does combine some traditional samba moves, and it will get your heart rate up...but I do have some issues.

Vanessa is VERY thorough in going over each move. In fact, too thorough, in my opinion. You will go over one move several times, then go to the next one several times, then back to the first one several times, and so on. It keeps progressing like this, which is great the first few times you do it, but after awhile it can be boring because you've learned the steps already, and there is no option to skip the "instruction" part and just go to the dance. This is actually my problem with a lot of dance dvd's-it's nice to have thorough cues the first few times you do it, but after awhile it just gets annoying and boring. And-there aren't that many "moves" on here to begin with, so you almost feel as if she is just trying to fill in time by repeating everything a thousand times.

So, it is fun to do, and will get your heart rate up a bit. But after about 4-5 times, you may get sick of it. I do love samba though, so I hope she will release another video sometime soon!

Samba Party Workout vol. 1.......2007-05-22

I had been looking for a way to exersize with a small toddler underfoot, something that would be fun, not too time-consuming and could be done indoors. This was a perfect solution! I love Vanessa Isaac's style and personality. She's really easy to follow and learn from. I started by going through the "learn the moves" section of the DVD and then did the workout and I caught on really fast, but I also improved over the weeks too. This will get you sweating, give you a good 30-40 min workout and it's fun to do! If you get tired of just listening to drums, it's all done in a simple rhythm that you can dance to with your own music. I would recommend doing your own stretches for a few minutes before starting up (or start the complete workout and stretch while Vanessa is doing the introduction). I noticed a difference in my body within a couple of days! My stomach started firming up, my legs got in great shape, and I started getting compliments within a month that I was looking thin! You can't beat that. This is definitely the way to go if you're starting out learning Samba style fitness too, it's a good workout but not as taxing as her second album. I would recommend buying this, do it for at least a month, and then add vol. 2 a couple of days a week after that for some variety and to improve your stamina even more. I love this workout and you will too! My daughter loves watching the workout too... she even waves her arms around and "talks" at the TV while I'm working out, so it's fun for both of us.

Great workout.......2007-04-28

I LOVE this DVD. I purchased this DVD to add more variety in my workout routie. I am not a good dancer, but this DVD was very easy to follow. Steps presented here were simple, and the instructor goes over and over. I am hooked, because I feel like I am dancing at a club or something rather than working out at a gym-- yet I sweat and got a great workout.

The only complain I have is that the DVD is rather short (something like 30 minutes, including both the warm-up and the cool-down.) Plus as I wrote above, she goes over and over the same steps, so you don't get to learn many different steps. (You only learn six movements.) But I complain ONLY BECAUSE I totally got hooked, and I want more.

product in great condition.......2007-04-03

I received this product in a timely manner,product in good condition.

dance and sweat.......2007-04-01

This workout is deceptively simple. There is an excellent "Learn the Steps" section so that you are not entirely clumsy when you start to dance. The steps themselves are not at all difficult to master with a little practice. However, as the instructor increases the speed you really get a terrific workout. Because the steps are not terribly complicated you can really get into the rhythm and let your body feel the music instead of intellectually concentrating to do the moves correctly. You can have a good time with this whether you are just beginning to exercise again or are in great shape and just want to have fun. Be patient. Chances are you are doing this in the privacy of your own home. Nobody is watching you. Just go with it til you are a Samba Diva.
