Wonderful
I had a wonderful time watching this with my 5 year old daughter and my 9 year old neice. The songs are truly delightful and the children (well, and me!) both loved the story-telling approach. I think that it helped that I first told them the story in brief because then they loved seeing the story being depicted through song and dance. Ms Friedman does a wonderful job as the narrator, and the different styles adopted for the songs (everything from rock 'n' roll to disco to calypso) works very well.My only issue with the DVD was that the sound seems a little muted at the beginning for a couple of minutes, but fortunately the rest of the DVD was just fine.The documentary on the making of the movie included as an extra is extremely interesting too. Especially the snippets of children from various schools performing songs from the show.If you have children, you should buy this movie. Not just for them to watch, but for you to watch with them. My daughter, neice and I have seen it three times so far in two weeks, and the next sitting is scheduled for this weekend.
