Great DVD.......2007-05-13

I bought this DVD for my little cousins who have never visited their Dad's country. They loved it. Very engaging and nicely put together. I hope more cultural videos like this are released!

A magnificent production - really marvellous.......2007-01-20

Babak and friends is a masterpiece in any respect. It teaches the children the mutual cultural understanding and therefore, it is a true gem in educational purposes. The plot is very nice and teaches that not only tolerance is important but also an active interest and participation in other cultures is a must for every person. This way a mutual understanding among different cultures is established. I cannot praise this production enough and would like to recommend it to anyone, not only children but also adults. Truly a maginificent production.

What a wonderful experience!.......2005-06-16

My son is 4 years and 6 months. His name is Ashkaan. Living in California, we get to enjoy the large Persian American community.

My son who speaks both English and Persian very well had always asked me why there were no Persian cartoons. I never had a good answer.

When we heard about "A First Norooz" or as Ashkaan now fondly calls it Babak and friends, we both became excited. When the DVD arrived, one Saturday we sat down and watched it first in English. Then, he took control of the DVD's remote control. He laughed with the English version and laughed again with the Persian version and had a great time.

It is now a ritual in our home that any new kid stopping by would sit down to watch this wonderful movie with a heart warming story and I simply enjoy how my son tells the upcoming scenes to his friends.

My congratulations to the producers and artists on this movie.
Thank you on behalf of Ashkaan.
Thank you on behalf of Ashkaan's parents.

great film for all.......2005-03-31

I saw both versions and its very well done - first of its kind. for all to enjoy. My kids loved it and my mom did too. She was very proud that IRanians have something good now and that she can be "Persian & proud". My kids are both speaking more farsi now as a result of the easy dialogue. Great affirmation of our culture and traditins. keep up the good work.
