Auto B Good - A Road Less Traveled

Rating:
Summary: Novel and appealing, but stops far short of perfection
Review: Auto B Good seemed to be the first direct competitor to the hugely popular Vegie Tales audio/video series as both aspire to encourage positive Christian conduct (such as honesty, generosity, etc.). It has excellent graphics but, unlike its competitor, the Auto B Good series lacks the storytelling polish, creativity, and entertainment of Vegie Tales. Though the automotive characters are somewhat cute and appealling, most of the episodes are mostly filled with lengthy dialogue covering predictable themes. Naturally, I am aware that these are intended for a young audience, but my children found them somewhat tedious and uninspiring.

Summary: This is the best new kids product I've seen!!!
Review: I just ordered these from the TV Commercials and my children absolutely loved it! It's like 'Davie and Goliath' meets 'Toy Story' but with sweet looking cars! My middle child constantly asks for the "DVD Cars"... she can't get enough of them. I love the fact that there are six short stories on each DVD. We plan to get them all when they come out!

Summary: Kid Tested Parent Approved (to quote somebody somewhere)
Review: I'm sure someone had a merchandising dream before coming up with this concept - anyway this is a collection of thoughtful stories (6 of them) with talking cars as the main characters that cover themes like thankfulness, generosity, patience, (I'm forgetting a couple, but all positive personality/character traits), but rather than a yawn-fest which stories with these kind of themes could become, they instead come off with a good deal of charm. I found myself smiling often while watching them.
