Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a compilation (3 dvd set) of Richard Scarry stories originally produced, I believe, in the 1990s. Until this came out, those stories were mainly available on VHS. We have a large collection of the VHS tapes, however I was happy to discover many new stories on this set that we had not seen before. Although the animation is not cutting edge computer-generated, it is easy to watch and much more detailed than then new Hurray for Huckle dvds. The stories seem to have been written and animated by people who enjoyed what they were doing. The stories are widely varied, some taking place in other countries (Japan, Chile, Switzerland, Germany, etc.) and times (Shakespeare, Gutenberg, etc.). The dialogues are clever. The plots are wholesome. Only borderline exception would be a couple of stories that feature Couscous the detective dressing up as a dancing girl in order to capture Peppy the Gangster. (We also skip some of the previews at the beginning of the dvds.) Between the stories are catchy songs that teach about crossing the street, being careful with electricity, swimming pool safety, etc. The age range that these appeal to is wide: our now 3 yr old and 1 year old love them and their 5 yr old and 10 yr old cousins still enjoyed watching when they came to visit. In fact they're fairly entertaining for my husband and I, even after a zillion viewings.
