Animals Movie Reviews

This DVD features the usual "perfect" children in different zoo, farm and aquarium settings. Many songs are standards and familiar. My 2-1/2 year old can sing most of the chorus'. The best thing about this DVD...it's kid-friendly auto-start feature. No menus to page through. Perfect for those DVD players in the car!

My son absolutely loves this video! He is 13 mos. and his face lights up as soon as he hears BINGO! My husband and I also like it because it has songs that are enjoyable to listen to.

"that one is my baborite" - my two year old loves this video, and it doesn't have any commercials at the beginning like many of our other videos. I highly recommend it.

I remember watching this movie (and loving it) while I was growing up. Now I have a 2 year old of my own. I had no idea it was even on DVD yet, I came here to see if was even on VHS. I can't wait to share the magical world of letters and animals with my little boy! I only wish there were more movies like this!

I have both the animal alphabet and animal numbers. I do home daycare and the kids just love it. I like the way they did each letter of the alphabet with an animal that starts with that letter. The number video shows different animals and parts of their bodies that go with that number. They love the singing and also to look at the different animals they have in each video. I recommend this to any parent who has kids. I have 3 children of my own ages 1, 3, and 7. My 7 year old loves it as well. I guarantee you wont think you wasted your money on these videos!!

I bought this DVD for my 14th month old daughter who loves animals. It was worth every penny as she loves it and I enjoyed watching it myself. I really like how they talk though the movie so it is teaching them the names of animals while they watch. It is very education and the music is great. If you are a parent buy this DVD you will not regret it.

This video is a natural for a child. My daughter loves to watch the animals and has learned to recognize a variety of creatures from this DVD alone. I was thrilled to see they were limited to standard barnyard animals, and I love the upbeat music and the charming scenes! It always holds my daughter's attention and is great for soothing her from a bad mood, and also for thrilling her when she is already happy!

This DVD examines how different animals solve the problem of locamotion. A Madacy DVD, the whole set is well worth having.

My cat can't get enough! I've always heard of these types of videos for cats, but never much thought about them until I got this one from a friend. My cat has never shown much intrest in the TV before so I didn't think he would care now, but as soon as it was on, the sounds and the twitching tails got my cats attention. He stalked behind the couch and would look around the corner at the TV and then suddenly run at the screen and try to touch the squirels. When the squirels would run off the screen my cat went looking for them behind the TV! It's as much enjoyment for my cat as it is for me.

If you ever wanted a tool, to share with evolutionist theory friends, this one is great. It is not intimidating but very thought provoking. The facts presented within this film are undeniable. Even a creature such as the giraffe, proves evolution incorrect. I had never known, until now, enough about them for them to help me dispell the evolutionist viewpoint. However, now it makes 100% sense and is a very interesting fact about them to know!
This movie is high in quality, very well produced and the photography is wonderful. Makes it easy to watch and carry on with enthusiasm to the very end. Then you wish it wasn't over ... The narration is both interesting and entertaining. It is not a dull and dry scientific lingo movie that is both hard to understand and even harder to bear, but is very well done, to keep all ages attention to the very last word. The scientific points made are to the point and play off almost like trivia, as it is all so interesting and about many animals you thought you knew well, but didn't and about other animals you may never have heard of.
We loved this movie and will watch it many more times, I am sure. It is one you will want to share with friends and family, when they come to visit. Get out the popcorn and enjoy over and over. Small children will even love it, if they do not understand the scientific implications in it, as the photos of the animals are so much fun for them.
This will equip your students with solid information that they will be able to use again and again. There is nothing worse than believing something but not knowing why or having and "proof" to back it up ... now they will be equipped with a lot of solid evidence, and it will be easily remembered. This is simply magnificent.
As you watch you will over and over again be amazed at the amazing creations of God. His handiwork is shown so close up and personal in this movie. You will sit in awe, thinking of this Creator, that took the time and thought to plan out such detail in His creation. A definite WOW moment will be had, when experiencing this film for the first time

My 18-month old and I really enjoy settling down with this video. He points out all the different animals and will make the accompanying animal noises. The songs are very entertaining and he'll even dance to some of them. Highly recommended.

After Finding Nemo came out I got this movie for my son's birthday and the whole family has just LOVED IT!! They keep watching it again and again which is great because it's so educational too!

We all can't wait for the next Captain John adventure!!

Kids will love this one. Besides the educational and entertaining movie, this DVD also contains great special features. The footage captured from the Florida Keys is some of the best that I've seen. Beautiful fish, amazing coral reefs, crystal clear water, and more!! This has been a fantastic addition to my home movie collection and I look foward to further productions.

Don't miss Relax with Fish - one of the special features - think of it as a classical 8 minute music video featuring the world's animals.
My niece loves it!
When's the next one?

This product receives a three star rating because of the dvd. The dvd is fantastic. You get all of Primus' videos, a few great live performances, and a few other rare gems. The videos are great. I think Primus had some of the best music videos of all time. Just check out Southbound Pachyderm. The live footage is sort of half and half. There are a few songs that bear terrible quality, but at least you will be forewarned by the "Bootleg Quality" rating. At least they admit it. Anyways, if this release only consisted of the dvd I would have given it 5 stars, no doubt about that.

They had to include a bonus EP as well. I'm probably one of the first people to finally admit that this is not a Primus cd. Sure, it bears the Primus name and uses members of the band, but it's still not Primus. I think Les, Ler, and Tim all lost their capabilty of thinking on the Primus spectrum, this Ep is the evidence. Try and compare this cd to any previous Primus release. It doesn't compare, not even to their previous Antipop album. Sure you get a lot of cool sounds, but none of those catchy riffs Primus has been so good at. This cd is filled with the same stuff Les has been dishing out for the past 3 years or so with his Frog Brigade project. I understand that bands sometimes change musically and take different approaches to their music, I mean, compare Frizzle Fry to The Brown album, that's proof enough, but I have a word that can explain Primus' new direction for all of you, lost. Les has been so caught up in all of his other projects that he is now no longer capable of producing an actual Primus release. Now, as a fan of both Primus, and Les' solo projects as well, I'm not saying that the music contained on this cd is, by any means, bad. I am a fan of Les' other projects, especially Oysterhead, but I don't think that this cd is worthy of bearing the Primus name. Hopefully, one day, they'll be able to get it together.

The way I see it, is that this is a great deal, with awesome content. And it is all from a group that sucks, and is one of my personal favorites. However this is a dvd/cd set, and both of them are entirely different "animals," so I plan to review them seperately(but in the same review)

CD:4 2/5, stars

Actually, the dvd is the big feature here, and the cd is actually just an added ep. But it is pretty cool just the same. Overall I would say that it reaches toward the darker side of primus(Bob, southbound pachyderm,ect;), except for "Pilcher's Squad, which is a trademark primus goof(goof describes the sound, not the quality of the song). Here it is track-by-track.

The Carpenter, and the dainty bride:5/5; If you have ever heard pork soda, and the bass trick Les uses on "The ol' diamondack sturgeon," which sounds sort of like a sitar. Well, it is used a lot on this song(and on "Mary the Icecube"). The lyrics are a lot like "My name is mud," as far as plot goes(I ran in to this person, he had some pesonal probloms effecting my life, so I killed him). It makes a great opener.

PILCHER'S SQUAD: See above; it is about 2 minutes long(which is good since tracks 1,4,and 5 are all over 6 minuts in length), and is very goofy sounding, but is a good piece of ear candy nonetheless. 5/5 stars

Mary the Icecube: A sad sounding song about a man, who is all depresed after dropping his beloved icecube, which then caused it to smash into pieces. 4/5 stars

The last superpower A.K.A. rapscallion: For me this was the harset to get into. It is actually a lot like "Nature boy(Pork soda)." It starts with a catchy number, which is very enjoyable,and is pretty funky for primus, and then drops off into a three-minute exiremental run before a catchy ending. 5/5 stars

My friend fats: This one is my least favorite song off the cd. It is prettymuch a cheesy-metal-horror-ballad, about a guy who is about to meet his chemical obliviation. 3/5

DVD: 5 stars

I really love this dvd. It contains the videos for "JOHN THE FISHERMAN,""TOO MANY PUPPIES,""JERRY WAS A RACECAR DRIVER,""TOMMY THE CAT,""MY NAME IS MUD,""MR. KRINKLE,""DMV,""WYNONNA'S BIG BROWN BEVER,""SOUTHBOUND PACHYDERM,""SHAKE HANDS WITH BEEF,""OVER THE FALLS,""LAQUERHEAD,"and"THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GORGIA," and if they had left it at that, then it would still be more than the price would suggest. But no. You can also get the live performances of"THOSE D@MN-BLUE COLLARED TWEEKERS,""KALAMAZOO,""LAQUERHEAD,""GROUNDHOG'S DAY,""MR. KRINKLE," and there are a ton of bootlegs too(including those with Les, Tod Huth, and Tim Wright). Not to mention all of the other "tidbits, and tadbits," like the "cheesy home video,"and various makings of. All-in-all, this is an excelent package.

PS: the low price rounds it up to an even 5-stars.

Yes, this DVD is loaded with tons of stuff. It even has the "Cheesy Home Video" from way back when on it. But the video for "Mr. Krinkle" is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in my life. I just bought this DVD/CD combo a few hours ago, and won't watch it again until I recover from seeing that video now.

Aside from that scary, horrible thing, be grateful that we're getting all their videos and tons of bonus stuff here. There's bootlegs of many songs, concert performances (including Woodstock 1994), photos, a discography, and three (as far as I know) easter eggs. Go to The Attic on the menu. Once you've selected it, press 1, 5, and/or 9 on your remote (or 01, 05, 09 if it doesn't work). You'll see the band on stage, as Les announces that he's the only member left, as the other 2 are moving on. It's actually pretty sad. Les hesitates a bit when announcing it. The other is a clip of BucketHead- the best guitarist to ever live. It's from the webcast sometime in 1998.

The CD thrown in with this is ok. It's not as bad as Antipop, but it's close. Like a reviewer here said before- Les can't really do Primus-type tracks anymore. He's been too involved with Oysterhead, Flying Frog Brigade, and Bucket of Brains. Oh well, I'm glad we finally get something like this. Now it's time to wait for the BucketHead DVD coming this December (hopefully).
