 Bravo! October 9, 2002

My family throughly enjoyed this over the weekend. Much to my amazement and joy our 3 yr. old son exclaimed during the credits at the end, "I loved it!"
my 2 year old daughter learned the instruments and voices April 7, 2002

It's an amazing video for kids! Without being formal, SS places the instruments into the musical and video story line. They engage kids with a charming story and add a few jokes adults will enjoy too. In addition, they have included extras such as games, listening to the music while viewing the instruments instead of the story, and just listening to the music with the SS voices removed. It includes important messages about group cooperation, responsibility, and recognition of others. From this video, my daughter has learned the look and sound of the violin, flute, french horn, and drums. She knows the melody of each voice and identifies it within a few notes of being played. Now, still at two, she wants to see an orchestra perform, practices conducting, interprets music she has never heard, and acts out plays. Kids are amazing.

This was my son's favorite video for close to a year--he has recently turned three, and become enamored of Elmo's Wild Wild West. The story that brackets "Peter and the Wolf" is entertaining in its own right, and manages to convey information not only about music, but such other things as cooperation and good theater behavior. The reviewer below who took the video out a few minutes in after seeing a muppet (in the part of one of "Peter's" hunters) carrying a pop gun, should have watched further. Great care has been taken to remove violent or too scary elements from the original story. All in all, this video is a great introduction to classical music for children, and easy for the grownups to sit through as well.
NON-VIOLENT AND LOTS OF FUN March 14, 2002

This is a really great video for kids. It exposes them to classical music in a fun way. I read the one review where the person said there was a pop-gun in the video. I don't know what he or she was watching, but it wasn't this video! There are absolutely NO guns, or anything even remotely resembling a gun, in this video! The wolf is chased with butterfly nets and the ending is resolved NON-VIOLENTLY. It's the only adaptation of the story I've ever seen that actually omits the guns (no small feat, since the music for the hunters is drums, traditionally represented by the hunters gun shots. That is cleverly avoided in this video). I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with a little music lover, or just a fan of good storytelling.
A MASTERPIECE! February 19, 2002

This Elmo DVD is brilliant. My 20 month old Daughter LOVES IT!It took a couple of runs through to get her full attention, but from the initial "catchy" tune & education of the intruments to the GREAT MUSIC she loves it! The lesson of working together is also nicely implemented. A STRONG RECOMENDATION, THIS DVD IS GREAT!
