The Big Plane Trip

Starring:Various
Studio: Little Mammoth Media
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
If you want to prepare your preschooler or young grade-schooler for upcoming airplane travel or simply want to demystify those tiny machines they see flying high above them, this tape will do the trick. From explaining vapor trails to showing flight attendants in safety training, this 40-minute tour touches on almost every aspect of airplane travel. It begins with preparation for takeoff of a Swissair MD11 from Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport, complete with pilot check and baggage handling, and ends in a cloud-banked but smooth landing in Switzerland. The emphasis is on a typical experience; however, the Swiss kitchen tour does show chefs grilling salmon and preparing chocolates from scratch, which may unfairly heighten your child's expectations of airline food! Although there is a brief tour of the country tagged onto the main body of the tape, stay tuned after the credits for a more thorough, visual-only tour of the country. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Another great Big Adventure movie!.......2005-02-17

A part of this video was available through our cable company on demand. I got tired of watching the other programs my son always seemed to choose (over and over again) so I put this on hoping it'd be some good. My son loved it! He loved it so much I had to purchase it because he'd ask for it all day long and they'd taken it off cable. Someone had commented their daughter didn't like it and she was disappointed. This video is an educational video. It's not a tv show like Jay Jay the jet plane. It's a way for you to educate your child about whatever they enjoy, that's what the Big Adventure series is. If you've ever owned a video from Small-Fry you'd know that. It's a great alternative for people like me who'd prefer to educate their child instead of just letting them mindlessly watch cartoons over and over again. My son loves this video as well as the Big Train Trip. I'm going to try the construction video and the fire station video. I hope my son enjoys them as well as this one and the Big Plane Trip.

Not What I Expected.......2003-11-17

My 4 year old watched the whole video and said "That was the longest commercial I ever saw! When is the video going to begin? I then had to explain to her that we were watching the video. She was very disappointed as well as me. It was extremely boring and not geared for a four year old.

Excellent Video Series.......1999-12-02

My son was 3 when he first saw The Big Plane Trip, and since then we have purchased several more titles from the Big Adventure series. Each video is so well presented that adults enjoy watching them along with the children. They are well filmed and intelligently narrated. I especially like the way children ask and answer questions on the video. Currently my son is in love with The Big Airshow. We also have The Big Submarine, The Big Aircraft Carrier, The Big Zoo, and others. They are pretty much a guaranteed hit, and grown-ups as well as children come away with more knowledge.
