Summary: Good for the kids, annoying for adults!
Comment: Well, my child has enjoyed this video for a couple of years. I am very particular about the kinds of shows I let my children watch, and this video does fit the bill as far as being sweet and wholesome and very geared towards innocent young minds. It is also somewhat educational. For all of those reasons I say it is a good video for little ones to watch. I could show it to any child without fear of their parent disapproving of any of the content. I can turn it on and let my own children watch it without any concerns. The trouble is, the video is also very corny. The characters are very annoying. The adults seem to be more immature than the children. And the story lines go beyond imaginative to being silly. While there are several childrens' shows and videos that I personally like and even enjoy, these one really drives me crazy. I am glad that others like it because it is so very kid-friendly.

Summary: SON LOVES IT, BUT GETS ANNOYING FOR ADULTS
Comment: My son liked the little people toys, so I got the videos to complement them. He loves the video and still watches it a couple years later. The songs and voices are a bit annoying...as is the theme song that plays before every scene/story.

Summary: Saccharine
Comment: Unlike some of the other Little People DVDs (e.g., the "Friendship Collection"), this video is contrived and painful to watch. Even our toddler can tell that it's trying too hard to be educational.

Summary: Shameful schlock!
Comment: "Fun." "Sweet." "Nice." These are some of the words others have used to describe this DVD. For my part, I propose grating and schmaltzy. Oh, not to mention racist. This is the stuff that gives the adjective "precious" a bad name.
I could tolerate the consistent tone of preciousness in these ten tales if they weren't already riddled with inconsistencies. It makes for a jarring viewing experience when I can't figure out whether or not I'm supposed to suspend my disbelief. For instance, there are no talking animals depicted here; the cows, pigs, frogs, and duckies behave pretty much like one would expect cows, pigs, frogs, and duckies to behave. But then there's Squeakles, a too-cute-for-words caterpillar who happens upon Sonya Lee's garden. Ms. Lee in one scene actually tucks the caterpillar into bed while he makes soft cooing sounds. Caterpillars don't coo! They don't sleep in beds! They don't make friends with people or frogs! Let's say I should accept all these traits as stemming from some kind of "magical realism" framework; why then do they apply only to Squeakles and none of the other animals? I may only be four years old, but please don't insult my intelligence. I wasn't born yesterday.
And what about the producers' nod to political correctness, ensuring that the posse of Little People includes a Token Black Kid (Michael) and a Token Asian Kid (Sonya Lee)? It's a veritable rainbow coalition of the precious, yet notice how it's the white kids who are recognized as the ones who "love to lead" (e.g. Maggie) while Michael is off doing his magic routines and Sonya Lee is laboring in her garden? This is a parable for the globalized world: Asians must produce everything and Africans labor in superstition, while light-skinned, round-eyed peoples are the consumers making all the decisions that matter.
And another thing: when I put a DVD into the player I want to be able to watch all its episodes straight through. With this disc, all I can do is play half the chapters before I'm back at the menu. Let me have an uninterrupted viewing experience! And stop peddling this hokey Danish schmaltz, which is clearly aimed at bringing down the collective IQ of America's children and reinforcing the prevailing myths of white supremacy.

Summary: Fun, sweet, useful
Comment: This DVD has ten shows. You can play five in a row, or one at a time. Each episode lasts about five minutes, so the DVD is very useful for putting in when I need five or ten minutes to get something done, but I don't want the kids watching a lot of TV. Some of the other reviewers complained about not being able to play all ten in a row, but I like the format, because if I play five, and it rolls the credits at the end, my kids are less likely to put up a fuss when I turn it off. The first five episodes are about "Discovering Numbers" and include "Sarah Lynn's Counting Song", "Freddie's Froggy Family," "How Much is Too Much," "All Sorts of Flavors," and "Follow That Sheep." The second five are about "Discovering Seasons," and include "Sonya Lee and the Season of Spring," "Water, Water, Everywhere," "The Big Blue Ribbon," "Eddie and the Super Skates," and "The Season of Friendship." The epsidoes are fun and sweet-- nothing controversial or intense.
