Summary: Good show for my 2 yr son
Review: My son loves the animation shows like bob the builder. I thought I would buy Jay Jay to try something different and he loved it! He sits there going "WEEEEE! WEEEEE!". He now loves planes and "copters" as he calls them

Summary: Has toddler appeal, but I have some gripes
Review: My son loves this DVD and asks to watch it frequently. He is about to turn 3 and loves anything having to do with Jay Jay or airplanes in general. We've rented or checked out from the library many of the videos. This one has two good episodes (the butterfly adventure and the trip to the library), but the other three I could do without. Incidentally, I'm not sure why the item description for this only lists 3 episodes as mine has 5. Here are my concerns.First, the Skylandia episode teaches a poor lesson in logic. Snuffy suggests that sky castles exist and Jay Jay is skeptical because he has never seen one. After a dream about a sky castle in which the residents don't believe in what we'd call the real world (because they had never seen it), Jay Jay decides to be more open to the idea of believing in things he can't see. It's a big lesson in faith (which will may appeal to more religious families), but it leaves me cold with the idea that you should put facts and evidence second to your desire to believe in something becaues it's a nice idea. Another disappointment comes in the episode where Tuffy tries to go to Pangabula Island, but can't because she can't fly over the water like her plane friends. So instead of taking the boat sitting at the dock next to her, she straps on a balloon, only to find she can't steer. So the boat (which apparently had nothing else to do), tows her to the island. I'm not sure what this episode is supposed to about other than taking the hard way around. Finally, the episode about the sparkle berry tree on Pangabula Island is just plain dumb. They throw in an adult character who is supposed to be Pacific Islander who waxes poetic about a tree of berries that likes to be picked and a population of non-industrial natives (whom you never meet) who prize the tree and get to share in its harvest once a year. It sounds vaguely spiritual and touchy-feely, but does little to promote actual inter-cultural appreciation (since the entire scenario is false and unrealistic).
