Barney - Round and Round We Go

Rating:
Summary: A DVD which may as well be a VHS tape
Review: Barney is always great and a big hit with my daughter. However, I would not recommend this particular DVD, if you buy DVD's due to the many wonderful features, such as playing just the songs, skipping adverts and going directly to certain chapters. This DVD has none of these features, so you may as well buy the VHS version. It has some wonderful songs, and is fairly entertaining, however, I would not buy it again, and now make sure that the DVD's I purchase allow us to play just the songs, or select certain chapters. Usually my 17 month old gets bored with the dialogue and wants only to see the songs. If they revamped the DVD, it would probably get 5 stars.

Review: It took a while for my 2.5 yr old to like this DVD. It's more educational for slightly older kids than some of Barney's other works which are simple & musical. There are several familiar songs but the basic concept for this DVD is "methods of transportation". Colours are vividly portrayed as well as graphics which is nice to see. Either way your child may like this. Worth a try!

Review: My son got this for his 2nd birthday, and asks to watch it all the time! He loves wheels and things that go round, so this is perfect! In no time at all, he has learned the songs and sings along. He really likes the story line, and enjoys all the different things that Mr. Wheelie has that use wheels. This is one that never leaves the DVD player. Only wish is that it had a menu so that you could skip the promos - we Fast Forward through them.

Review: To start with - being an adult, I really hate Barney! He's extremely annoying. However, when a DVD can't be taken out of the player because it's always in demand, you have to give it a good rating. The songs are catchy, and the kids seem to be enjoying themselves. My son loves the wheels, and boots, and the bus especially.
The big problem with it is that you can't skip past the advertisements at the beginning of the DVD, and after you see them once you certainly don't want to see them all the time. You also can't easily skip forward to pick a special song, or back to replay songs, because the DVD doesn't support this feature. Using the fast forward and rewind gets to be a chore when the DVD is so popular.
Recommended that you put it on, and then get out of earshot as quickly as possible.
