delightful.......2006-10-30

positive messages, sweet stories and short story times make this a nice video to choose for 15 minutes of down time, a little something to watch before bedtime or good discussions with my 4 year old!

Perfect for our 2-year-old.......2006-08-06

Our 2-year-old daughter loves this video. She asks for it by the name "Happy Heart Day." We like it too. The stories are well crafted, and -- without being even the slightest bit preachy -- they convey the values of caring, sharing, good manners, committment to family, and other timeless lessons. Some have objected to the Miss Spider videos because they do not teach the alphabet or counting skills; we would much prefer our child to appreciate the gentle world of the spider family than to become burned out on academics before she gets to kindergarten.

Happy Heartwood Day.......2006-04-05

Everyone at our house (even the adults) loves Miss Spider! The stories, music, and characters are never annoying like many other kids' cartoons. The animation and scenery are amazingly beautiful, just like the books. The only difficulty with the DVDs is that you can't find the contents anywhere online! For those of you who would like to know before you buy, the stories included on "Happy Heartwood Day" are 1.Happy Heartwood Day 2.What a Tangled Web 3.Family Tree 4.Snuggle Bugs 5.The Bug Flu 6.No-See-Um Is Believin'! 7.The Thinking Stone 8.Tastebugs
Every story is a real gem, and there's an absolutely hysterical scene involving Bounce (our favorite) in "Tastebugs".

A very 'heartfelt"movie.......2004-09-06

This movie was very touching, as it concentrates on an aspect which many small rural living people can relate - the importance of conserving our precious natural beauty and life around us, and the influence of what money can do to belittle this as unimportant. Eddie Mills is an amazing actor who you can expect to see coming up in the cinematic arena, and as we all know Hilary Swank - Oscar winner - and Jason Robards - also co-star in this movie. It is a heartfelt movie that will capture your attention, if not only from Eddie's gorgeous self, but also the amazing beatuy surounding the production area. definetly worth the watch.

A film to love and feel good about.......2003-02-17

As this is a movie about a small town, three generations and two lovers, here's how I think the story should be told. Deroy is a California isolated town, the existence of which relies on a lumber mill run by Logan Reeser (seventy-six-year-old Oscar winner Jason Robards). Reeser is a mentor to twenty-six-year old Frank (Eddie Mills) who while being seen as a freak by his family and community, fully shares Reeser's deep-rooted devotion to the giant redwoods. Then summer comes, and Frank finds himself in bliss and trouble when a romance blooms between him and the mill manager's daughter, Sylvia (twenty-four-year-old Hilary Swank, one year before her Best Actress Oscar). The young lovers are temporarily separated, but as old Logan Reeser gets deeper in debt and might have to shut down the mill, Frank and Sylvia devise a clever plan, and together they prove that love and determination can save a town from disaster and be the answer to Reeser's prayers as well...

Although the DVD isn't very cool (only chapter selections, no special features) I really enjoy this movie. I love its message regarding environment (similar to what was voiced in such good films as "Silkwood", "A River Runs Through It", "Erin Brockovich"...) Credits should also go to the cinematography and the solid performance of the entire cast, especially Hilary Swank with her imcomparable freshness and natural beauty. So if you're tired of movies that offer nothing than senseless violence and obsessive sex crave, get "Heartwood" and enjoy this heartwarming love story, as narrated by its main character: "It started 15 years ago in a forest in my sawmill town, Deroy, population 254, where the trees are more than a livelihod, they're a way of life..."

Don't They Teach People How to Write Scripts These Days?.......2002-02-21

I bought this DVD just because of the big stars in it. I am quite surprised that the great setting, the breathtakingly beautiful woods, is not used to the fullest. It's merely a backdrop rather than a solid background of the movie.

The scripts, and of course the dialogs, are plain awful. I don't know why those big stars even bother to be in it in the first place.
