Review: ...and we're so happy!"This DVD is a lot of fun. Being a 30 something myself, I grew up watching these on Saturday mornings. It's fun to review them now and to watch my son enjoying them as well. It's great family fun and education!

Summary: Wonderful Treasure and a Good Value, too
Review: Loved the originals on TV as a child - now driving around in the minivan, our 2.5 year old watches and loves them. Figuring out how to navigate the menu blind is a bit tricky at first, but by the 5th time through one figures out how to get to the whole enchilada - spicy! and let it rip.

Summary: HURRAY! HEY! WOW!
Review: Anyone that grew up in the 70s and early 80s will definitely remember SHR. I just got this DVD last night and started playing it. After skipping all the DARN! trailers and finding the jukebox, I selected "The whole enchilada" and let it play. OMG! I felt like I was 6 years old again! Most of the songs I could sing word-for-word. Those pseudo-hallucinogenic visuals and that jazzy rock beat put on by Bob Dorough and the gang brought back so many childhood memories of watching cartoons on saturday morning. As far as quality, it's mostly excellent. The only two films that looked weird were Electricity and I Got Six. Electricity was very grainy. Didn't look like MPEG2 commpression grain, this was actual film grain. I Got Six actually has a few glitches. The beginning measure of the song has a slight stutter and the first verse has one too. Besides those two problems, the entire DVD is a masterpiece.

Summary: Disney Screws Up An Otherwise Great Thing
Review: I agree with all the reviewers about the substance of the classic Schoolhouse Rock vignettes themselves - they're great.
However, I have several major complaints about what the evil trolls at Disney have done in putting this package together.
First, they have stuck trailers/advertisements for about five Disney video products on the front of the disc, so that if you just pop the disc and and let it run, you have to sit through all that stuff (or keep hitting the "next segment" button on your remote to skip them) before you get to the actual Schoolhouse Rock portion. I didn't pay good money for the privilege of having Di$ney jam additional advertising down my throat and that of my toddler.
Second, and somewhat less offensively, the organization of the individual vignettes through a "jukebox" menu function is somewhat interesting, but not very well implemented. Yes, it's kind of fun that there are menu seletions to watch just the "grammar" episodes or just the "math" episodes, or whatever. But you'd think, wouldn't you, that there'd be a plain old "watch 'em all from start to finish" option wouldn't you? But no.
The latter is a minor quibble. I'm particularly mad about all the Di$ney advertising they try to force on you.

Summary: Lifesaver for my daughter
Review: My daughter is very bright but had trouble learning her multiplication tables. I tried everything, including hiring a tutor, but she still had trouble and was sad and frustrated. After a while I remembered that back in the 70s I had learned the multiplication tables myself on Saturday mornings watching Schoolhouse Rock! I was so excited to learn that there was a DVD available featuring the same excellent songs I had learned from as a child. Multiplication Rock did the trick! My daughter learned the multiplication tables backwards and forwards by watching the DVD every day for about a month, and I didn't have to nag her to study!

Summary: Great - even for our 20 month old!
Review: My wife (34) and I (38) grew up with Schoolhouse Rock in the 70's. Even though our son is just beginning to talk, he loves watching the SR videos, especially "Verb!". He should enjoy the DVD well into Kindergarten.

Summary: still helpfull in school
Review: I didn't see these songs when they first came out in the 70's afterall I was born in the 80's but they showed them on saturday mornings and I lvoed them. as a political science major my favorite has to be the Bill song but I really like all the history and government ones . These songs helped me early on in school and belive it or not in college. When I bought the dvd I took a American federal government test and for some reason I couldn't remember the legislative branch but then I sang the three ring government song in my head and got it right lol kind of funnyand who doesn't need to know the function of a conjuction someday when I have kids I'll show them these cartoons and hope they learn from them like I did

Summary: "I can't believe I watched the whoooole thiiiiing!"
Review: Once we bought our kids the "Schoolhouse Rocks" boxed CD set, we thought another 20 bucks for the DVD set couldn't hurt. My kids LOVE these! Indeed, I never moved from the couch, remembering and singing along to every song. From "Conjunction Junction" to "Lolly Lolly Lolly, Get Your Adverbs", they're all here. Before the Brainy Baby series or Hooked on Phonics, "Schoolhouse Rocks" taught our generation about english grammar, history, science and math in 3 minute cartoon shorts in between Saturday morning cartoons on ABC. We began to look more forward to SHR shorts than the cartoon shows themselves! At 3, I rememeber cracking my head open while somersaulting to "Conjunction Junction" (I crashed into my parents dry sink- 6 stitches!). This series holds precious memories for us, and our kids, who are quickly learning the words, watch us in open awe as we recite words to all the songs. Contains all 46 SHR songs, including a new one and a long lost one ("The Weather Show").
