== Reviews ==
* "As our children, Jared (age 10) and Kate (age 8) watched this DVD and played the CD soundtrack, they were dressed up and in character the whole time, just like Mr. O'Dell and Miss Melkonian!"-Paige and Craig
* "Imagine Johnny Cash teaming up with Dolly Parton to do a kids' theatre show; that's Philly and Madi's Magical World! As Philly and Madi tread the field, they'll sing aloud and even interact with others, for instance, their two most adorable fans (called Jared and Kate) become Alvin and the Chipmunks-style, "miniaturized" versions of the duet, complete with toy instruments! How cute is that? Overall, 'Philly and Madi's Magical World' is a dynamic explosion of candy-coloured, get-up-and-sing, family-fun entertainment!"-NAPPA Critic
