A Little Snow Fairy Sugar - The Bear Pianist (Vol. 3)

Rating:
Summary: More serious and dramatic
Review: The third volume of Snow Fairy Sugar contains a four part story arc concerning the visit of a theater troup to Saga's hometown. The title of their stage play is "The Bear Pianist" hence the name of the DVD. However the primary goal of these four episodes is not to present a play to us the viewers, but to dig deeper into the main character Saga. A member of the theater troup, Vincent, an enigmatic fellow, instantly takes a strong interest in Saga. He too is a pianist, and has some familiarity with Saga's deceased mother, but not much else is known about him. It's enough to produce a conflict between him and Saga though, and this conflict wonderfully brings out Saga's feelings and passion for the piano and the strong tie between her love for the piano and the love she still has for her mother.

This four part story arc contains more serious and dramatic material than presented in the first two DVD's and the story moves along slower too, so very young children may not find it as exciting as the antics of the season fairies in the earlier episodes. Parents will enjoy this one more I think. There are some fun and silly moments thrown in here and there with Norma, Greta, and Sugar & Co. Anyone who plays the piano or other instrument will really love this show!
