Product: Wee Sing: Wee Singdom [VHS] (1996)
Rating: 5.0
Colorful, catchy songs, cute characters, sweet simple story
Our 18-month old is glued to this hour-long video! The characters are colorful and diverse without being complex, the songs are catchy (some standards) and cute, the setting (primarily inside a forest where characters perform numbers on "stage") is warm and inviting with talking flowers that play instruments to accompany the characters' songs/acts, and by far the best part is the finale where a singing rainbow is the surprise guest star: "she" sings a beautiful song while showering colors on the rest of the characters; my husband and I like that part as much as our daughter. I always hold her and sing the "rainbow song" to her; it has become a special time for the two of us. I highly recommend this video for 12 months to even 4 or 5 year olds. ONE CAVEAT: My sister's 4-year old daughter finds the third "talking cloud" too scary and needs her Mommy to fast-forward past it to get to the rainbow part!
