Everyone in our house
loves Bear (adults included) and to receive this disc was just the bees knees.
In it we find four great episodes involving all the singing and dancing that
you could imagine slinging at your young ones in the 96 minutes that this runs
for.
Now I am sure that many
of you reading this would also watch the show on ABC and for you there is not
going to be a lot in the way of surprises. I had seen almost all of these
before, but the thing that we are focussing on for this review is the fact
that they have been collected for the first time for our little ones to enjoy
in one hit.
The entire disc is a
non stop fun filled series of song and dance that starts with Treelo looking
for somone to dance with and our favorite lemur is determined to find everyone
and get them bopping away, even Bear gets involved when he feels a twitchin',
itchin', scritchin' and scratching as it's time to do the Bear Cha Cha Cha!
The kids will love all
the different dances that these characters get up to and I found that my kids
were all over the place dancing to the catchy tunes, it was so much fun that
they dragged their mum and dad along as well!
There is also an
episode where we listen to the music of sounds around us made by nature. Bear
also gets the others in the Big Blue House and us to help with bear cub Ojo's
Orchestra.
All things said and
done I can highly recommend this disc for any family with kids aged from about
one to five. It's fun, infectious and a absolute hoot. We loved it and we are
sure that you all will too. Get dancing with Bear today.
*NB* One gripe I
have added as an afterthought to this review is that ABC DVD really need to
stop with the huge ads before their main feature. You cannot skip them and
the kids just want to watch whatever show it is that you have bought for them.
Make your ads extras on the disc. They get annoying and parents do NOT want to
have to wait for your ads to finish before they can play the feature for their
kids.
This disc uses 4:3 ratio which is exactly what the toddlers
need, nice and bright images filling the whole screen up and the picture is
nice, clear and clean.
Stereo Audio. No audio problems on this disc. The kids are
going to love it.
None on this disc. You
can either select to play all the episodes or episode select.
