Bindi and her Crocmen

"I bought this DVD for my kids and they loved it. It is for kids between the ages of preschool and around age 8 years. It shows Bindi in her tree house, and she talks about animals, and things to do for entertainment other than watching TV. She even advises kids that when the DVD is over, to go outside and jump around! Steve, Terri, Bindi and her Crocmen all are in this DVD. It is also about some of the zoo animals in their zoo, and gives fun facts about the animals. Steve cooks up a messy storm in the kitchen, which is kind of silly, but kid's love it. Also, in this DVD a CD is supplied, and it has the same songs that Bindi and her Crocmen sing on the DVD. Included is a poster type photo of Bindi that can be framed. It's delightful and fun, and will get your kids doing some dances with Bindi and the Crocmen. They will love it! Terri acts as a back-up singer in some of the songs.It's fun for the kids (and some parents too)! My advice, this DVD is not worth the asking price of forty dollars. It's only 45 minutes long, and kind of silly, but for kids it's cute. I ordered this from the seller "westendentertainment" (received it in only 8 days) , and it was for all regions, but was in PAL format, and wouldn't play on my U.S. made DVD player. It did play on my computer, and the music CD works on any CD player made in the U.S., so to be able to watch the DVD, we have to play in only on our computer. It was not in the NTSC format like advertised."

Bindi does a great job!

"This DVD is divided into a number of short recurring segments:

1. Bindi introduces each performance with a few fun facts about an animal that the song talks about.

2. Bindi and the Crocmen peform the song in a nice studio setting (Steve and Terri play some instruments). Each song has moves to go with it so that kids can exercise along. Since the songs are about animals, the moves also go along with how animals move. There are 9 songs total (the crocmen, eagles, elephants, hippos, monkeys, tigers, kangaroos, cheetas, and snakes). The tunes are catchy and fun (also included on a separate CD; the words for all songs are included in the accompanying booklet).

3. Bindi introduces other fun exercises that kids can do outdoors. She demonstrates these exercises briefly with her dad. Steve is always silly in these and the kids love it.

4. Cooking with Steve and Bindi - they show how to make healthy snacks. Again, it is kind of a silly segment, but the kids like this also. The recipes are for real though, and are included in the accompanying booklet.

I definitely enjoy watching this DVD with my little niece and nephew. Bindi is a natural in front of the camera. It's really great to see her having fun with her dad on this DVD. She also does an excellent job getting a number of important messages across to other children.

It looks like there has been some confusion and concern about this DVD not working in U.S. players. This is only the case if you get the PAL version. Make sure you order the NTSC version and it should work just fine (the same applies to Canada). Customers from European countries or Australia should get the PAL version. It looks like Amazon is selling the NTSC format (even though some sellers from Australia have mistakenly sent the wrong version). Also, this DVD is region free, so you only need to pay attention to the NTSC format and don't need to worry about regions.

"Bindi and her Dad, Steve Irwin do a nice job of doing a kid's exercise video, mixed with some cooking and some really funny shots. My 3-1/2 yr. old really enjoys this video, she sings along and dances and gets some exercising in as well. They do a pretty good job with mixing the songs with the dancing on an animal theme."
