Rating: Summary: What Titus Andronicus was to Shakespeare... Review: this flaccid entry is to the legend that is Barney. There is little trace of Thematic coherency. Barney somehow seems to believe that just because he is purple and cute, and has a a pacifying effect upon children, that he can ride roughshod over the principles of Aristotlean drama. If, perchance, Barney had every deemed it worthy of his oh-so-fought-after time to take a look at the Poetics, he might have learned that just stringling together a bunch of episodes does not a drama make. Plot? Character? Action? Two words of advice for the wordsmiths who crafted this leaden lump: Don Quixote.

Rating: Summary: Great Bright Educational DVD Review: This is the first Barney Disc I have bought. Barney is not well known in Australia but my daughter (almost 3 years old) loves the DVD. She dances around and joins in the activities.I was particularly pleased with the bright vibrant colours and the clarity. The educational subjects (ie 123 & ABC) were varied and well thought out. Great value for money with the added material, interactive games, previews on other Barney shows. I will definitely be purchasing more !

Rating: Summary: Fun and Educational Review: This is the first Barney DVD I bought for my 18 month old daughter. She absolutely loves it. She watches it only about 10 times a day! Now even I know all the words. The songs are catchy and educational, with dancey rhythms. She has put aside Sesame Street and Blues Clues for this one. This DVD keeps her busy for extended periods of time. When I invite my friends over who have little ones too, they have their own party with this DVD. I absolutely recommend it for keeping the very active 18 month old busy and educated.
