Summary: Great dvd - lots of muppet animals - fun songs
Review: My 4 1/2 month old son loves this dvd, and it's pretty entertaining for parents too. Great, fun songs and lots of silly muppet animals. My only complaint is that the dvd has an "ad" for sesame street at the beginning which you cannot skip or fast forward over, so you have to watch it every single time and wait for it to finish before you can even set the rest of the dvd to play. Also, the song/chapter selection only shows you the first half of the dvd unless you fast forward to the middle and then look at it again. Overall, though, a very nice dvd and I recommend it!

Summary: Not as good as I had hoped
Review: So far, my 1 year old hasn't been able to sit throught this one. The Sesame Street part is fine. She likes seeing Big Bird talk about songs with all of his friends, but the real weakness of the DVD is when the film of the animals comes on(which is why I bought this in the first place, because my daughter loves seeing animals). The first segment is of a dog herding cattle, except the film is so old and grainy it reminded me of the old Lorne Greene animal documentaries he used to narrate. My daughter got bored and crawled away. So I skipped to the next song which wasn't as bad, so she sat and watched it happily. Then the third song came up, and again the film looked 30 years old, and off she went. What's the point in watching a DVD if you half to skip through half of it? I was very disappointed with this Sesame Street effort.
