George and Martha - Best Friends [VHS]
Based on thechildren's books by James Marshall,  this 45-minuteGeorge and Marthavideo explores the ups and downs of close friendship.  Hippopotamuses George and Martha, voiced by Nathan Lane and Andrea Martin, love spending time together, but in "The Book" George gets  so excited over his new book that he reneges on his promise to go to the  park with Martha.  Both hippos have an exasperating day and learn the  importance of being considerate to others.  When George's talent for acting is discovered in "The Acting Class," Martha is glad for his good fortune,  but saddened by his impending departure.  Can George really bear to leave  Martha behind? A simple misunderstanding between the two friends snowballs in "The Misunderstanding" and George and Martha vow never to talk to one  another again. After a day of "fun" without his or her best friend, each  hippopotamus is more than ready to apologize and resume their valuable  friendship.  In "The Secret Club," George refuses to invite Martha to join  his exclusive club, so Martha starts her own "Snoopy Snoopers" club.  When  Martha proves to be a terrible snoop, she demands entry to George's  clubhouse and gets a delightful surprise.  George and Martha are two  adorable hippos that would love to help your 2- to 7-year-old learn the  value of friendship.--Tami Horiuchi
