## Notes on the DVD and CD

* The "You can brush my hair, undress me..." part of "Barbie Girl" was changed to "You can brush my hair and take me everywhere" due to nudity.
* The dedication is to "our awesome fans, Jared and Kate as well as Paige and Craig!" (from Wendy Melkonian aka Madi) and "to Lisa Damiani, The Hi-Tops Audio Lady!" (from Brandon O'Dell aka Philly.)
* The acknowledgements are: Thanks to Tom Lynch, Tom Kenny, Jennifer Hale, Smallfire, Phil LaMarr and Janice H. Kawaye as well as Paige, Jared, Craig and Kate! With love from Lisa "Soundtrack Paige" Damiani, Brandon "Philly" O'Dell and Wendy "Madi" Melkonian

## 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!
