Classic Favorite with a Twist.......2006-11-18

This cartoon was a classic favorite of mine as a child! I was so excited to see it was available on DVD. I want to share it with my kids, and love that it adds a new element of counting etc., rather than being simply entertainment.

Kids love it!!! Nothing better than Disney to teach Reading and Math!.......2006-03-11

I just popped the dvd into our player and expected my nephews to stare blankly into the screen and go along their merry way roaming around our house, but to my amazement the singing and the interesting eye catching way of the disney characters teaching how to count sheep and stuff, was like flame to their moth..analogically speaking :)

Disney should RECALL this DVD!.......2005-11-08

SHUT-UP in an "Educational" DVD! -- I want my money back. Really a "zero" star rating. Ditto on the other neg reviews. My son did learn to flip his spoon by pounding it at the dinner table. I'm sending the DVD back to Disney demanding a refund and suggest other buyers do the same. And exactly what "educators" did Disney work with on this??? Shame on them!!!! Mr. Walt Disney would be ashamed.

Not much learning or adventure here..........2005-05-10

Disappointed, I should have read these reviews first! Although this is listed for ages 2+, I was not happy with my toddler watching a bad-tempered crazed duck have tantrums and try to kill a cow with an axe. A little less violence in a learning video please Disney! Best advice stick with companies focused on producing learning-based products, not just trying to make a quick-buck. My son loves the Leap-Frog Letters DVD. It is fun, very educational and non-violent. I should have bought the next movie in that series instead.

A Total Misrepresentation.......2005-04-15

This is just a dark, cloudy 70's (or earlier) era cartoon. (I remember seeing it when I was a kid. I don't believe it had the benefit of being "screen by screen hand digitally remastered" either. It doesn't look very bright.

We bought it we thought it would help our 5 year old with certain math concepts (because she can count but doesn't necessarily know what the numbers represent). Boy were we wrong. This is not a "learning adventure" or a virtual pre-K as it has been called. It's just a long cartoon and only three times do you see an educational pop-up. The first one is counting two cows, three calves and 5 sheep. The second is asking how many slices of bread (cutting one loaf into how many parts) will you need in order to give Mickey, Donald and Goofy each a piece. The last is I think how many Mickey's equal the giant. Not volume, but how many Mickeys stacked on top of each other equal the height of the giant. The educational content is just too far and few between to justify calling it a learning video. I was very, very disappointed.
