DVD Review & Giveaway: Classic Series Babar Season 1
June 5th, 2012 | 
Author: 
I’m pleased to announce that today, The Classic Series Babar is being released on DVD for the first time as a complete season. Babar has been a favorite of mine since I was child and I am so happy that it’s been digitally restored and remastered so I can share the Jean de Brunhoff’s lovable jungle character that gets introduced into the big city with my own children.
The Classic Series Babar Season One comes with two discs which feature seven episodes each. Each of the DVDs feature moral stories that children can learn from! One of my favorites is episode #2 which is when Babar makes his way to the city and is introduced to the Old Lady whom teaches him how to fit into the city ways of things in Celesteville. And another is episode #7 when Babar subjects get caught up in trying to build a rocket to the moon!
The running time in entirety is almost 300 minutes long. So you’ll have plenty of Babar to enjoy along with your child for many days during any season, that is unless you plan on having a Babar marathon this Summer! Babar is family friendly entertainment that endearing stories full of many challenge and valuable life lessons will leave a mark for a lifetime!
I can’t say enough good things about Babar! I love it and both my children enjoy it quite a bit too! I highly recommend picking this DVD to share with the children in your own life. You can purchase Babar – The Classic Series Season One

DVD Review: VeggieTales: Robin Good and his Not-So-Merry Men
We completely love Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men. As a mother of two young children, I am always looking for great ways to share the love of God and to teach children important life character traits & values.
In this latest installment, the Veggie Tale characters share not one but two stories that demonstrate to children how to deal with their feelings if they are hurt or disappointed. I enjoyed the stories myself and quite liked that in the bonus features section, there is a Guide to Handling Hurt which gives suggestions, Biblical scripture verses, and opens the doors to discussing what may be going on in their life or if they see a friend that may be hurting.
As with all Veggie Tale movies, there’s lots of humor, the characters can be silly but also serious when called for. There’s many songs that are sung through out some super silly and others very meaningful. My daughter age 3 1/2 and son age 14 months enjoyed watching both the features and all the bonus content such as spotlighting children and their group leader doing what they could to raise water to build a well for children that didn’t have clean water.
Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men is about 50 minutes long. There are English and Spanish speaking options as well as wide or full screen for viewing. A great story with a Biblical message. This DVD does and excellent job in making clear that “There’s no hurt too big for God”. And really, “What more could you ask for?

DVD Review: Pound Puppies: Homeward Pound
When I was a child, I used to watch the classic Pound Puppy Cartoons weekly! I had a few soft plush pound puppy toys of my very own and almost never missed an episode if I could’ve helped it. I was pretty excited to find out that yet again, one of my favorite 80′s cartoons got a re-do and is now available for our current generation in a great new style!
Thanks to Shout Factory, Pound Puppies: Homeward Pound is out now on DVD! This DVD offers five fun filled episodes which include “Homeward Pound”, “My Fair Rebound”, “Quintuplets”, “K-9 Kid”, and “Zoltron”. Total DVD running time is two hours and the DVD even has a special feature that spotlights how to draw one of the characters!
My daughter enjoyed Pound Puppies: Homeward Pound and was quite taken with watching the fun loving dogs find safe loving homes for all the lonely puppies they encountered. There are likable characters with lots of different personalities and cute names such as Lucky, Niblet, Cookie, Squirt, Strudel, and Mr. Nut Nut. I like that throughout each episode, important lessons are learned like working together to get the job done!
I couldn’t help but feel that this collection would be best suited for both boys and girls ages three to eight years old, especially animal lovers! And if you are interested, you can pick up your own copy of Pound Puppies: Homeward Pound on Amazon.com for $11.99!
