My favorite.......2006-07-28

Of all the Sesame Street DVDs I have gotten so far (123 Count with Me, Learning About Letters, Learning about Numbers, 25th Anniv., What's the Name of that Song?) I like this one best! Although those listed are also good - all have great music and are fun and funny, especially Learning About Numbers.

This movie has great production values, a moving story (I laughed, I cried), Broadway-level songs, and lots of funny little jokes. Plus, you get to see some of what Japan looks like. I like the fact that the movie has great music. What does Nathan (18 mo) get? - a very happy Mom, singing along. That's entertainment.

"There sure are an unusual amount of people from Ohio!"

I'm 24 and just got the urge to go looking for Big Bird in Japan down in the basement of my parents' house. The happy childhood memories, and a few inside jokes with my sister, came flooding back as I watched this relic from my past.

It's funny how at such a young age certain things are imbedded into your brain. I remembered all the songs, and how eerie and beautifully sad the story was. I remember how red and glossy the princess' lips were when she sang her song to the moon. I remember all the Japanese words they taught me, my early fascination with chopsticks and raw fish. And I remember the glowing bamboo stump at the end credits. I think this movie might have been my introduction to the dark side of the moon. Thank you Big Bird.

Sweet Sesame St. DVD.......2006-04-18

Big Bird in Japan is a sweet (or bittersweet, depending how you look at it) story about the beloved Sesame Street character and the friend who helps him when he gets lost in Tokyo.

BB and the always energetic and expressive Barkley get separated from their guided tour. The emphatic guide says they won't wait for any latecomers. The two American friends get distracted and wander off looking at the sights. Homesick and afraid in a country where no one speaks their language, the duo is befriended by a young, pretty Japanese woman who speaks excellent English. Oddly, this young woman is herself very sad, though she conceals it from the naiive bird. To the viewer, she sings haunting and melancholy songs. What is the mystery behind this woman? The end is sweet but also sad.

This special will help the viewer learn some Japanese words and customs, and stress to the child the importance of not getting lost! A viewing pleasure for adults AND kids.

This is good for learn........2006-02-17

I decided to buy this DVD because my son is so interested in Big Bird.
Of course he likes this DVD. And also I think this DVD is great for kids too.
In the DVD Big bird learns some Japanese in easy ways (by song / by words resembling English). and Big Bird learns some japanese culture too. I think This DVD is good for learn other culture and other language.

My Daughter will watch all 60 minutes from start to finish. She adores this movie and loves to say quotes from it. I thought it was a little slow for such a young child, but I guess I was wrong.
