Charlie and Lola, Vol. 1 — Charlie and his spirited little sister Lola are the best of friends and, like most siblings, the pair must employ a little ingenuity and a whole lot of creativity to maintain a healthy sibling rel... more »ationship while conquering their individual problems and fears. When Charlie's Mum solicits Charlie's help getting Lola to eat her dinner in "I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato," Charlie must call on his creativity to convince his extremely picky sister to eat her peas, potatoes, fish fingers and tomatoes. Lola gets a chance to see what being responsible for a dog is like in "We Do Promise Honestly We Can Look After Your Dog" and Charlie joins forces with Lola's invisible playmate Soren Lorenson to help Lola conquer her separation anxiety in "I Love Going To Granny and Grandpa's It's Just That. . . . " Other predicaments visited include keeping a secret, being sick in bed with a cold, a fear of spiders, and cooperative play. Based on the Charlie and Lola books by Lauren Child, this 84-minute compilation of BBC programs features simple images, universal themes, a delightful smattering of British pronunciations and colloquialisms, and bonus features that include English subtitles, an interactive jigsaw puzzle, outtakes, and several hidden video snippets. (Ages 2 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi Charlie and Lola, Vol. 2

Charlie's little sister Lola is "very small and very funny," with an infectious laugh and a young child's tendency toward intense enthusiasm and emotions. In this second volume of Charlie and Lola episodes from the BBC, the ever responsible Charlie helps his sister through the difficulties of everything from bedtime rituals to delayed gratification and disappointment. A wide awake Lola possesses a seemingly inexhaustible arsenal of excuses why she simply can't go to bed in "I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed," but a patient and creative Charlie creates a bedtime routine that celebrates Lola's imagination AND gets her to bed with a relative minimum of fuss. Dealing with disappointment is especially difficult for Lola, but Charlie always seems to have an innovative remedy like unearthing just the right book to check out from the library when Lola's favorite book is already checked out, good advice about the perfect birthday gift for a friend, and a creative way to salvage a picnic that's been ruined by a rainstorm. In "I Want to Play Music Too," it's Lola that ends up teaching Charlie a lesson about the value of collaboration and creativity in music when she rescues a flailing Charlie during a school musical performance. Anglophiles, fans of Lauren Child's Charlie and Lola books, and children ages 2 to 7 will delight in these six escapades featuring the spunky Lola and her clever brother Charlie. Bonus features include an interactive hide and seek game, funny outtakes, and hidden surprises. --Tami Horiuchi

Movie Reviews

Such A Cute Show!

Keller Adcock | Danville, VA | 08/31/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"My 3 year old son & I just started watching Charlie & Lola a couple of weeks ago and are hooked. Little sister Lola is a really cute 4 year old with lots of ideas. It is up to big brother Charlie to help Lola figure out how to make her idea a success. The episodes teach creativity, problem solving, etc. This is one DVD I end up watching whenever it is on."

"This is a completely beguiling, wonderful show. I fell in love with it on TV and can't get enough of the DVDs. I love the way it pokes gentle, affectionate fun at child/sibling behavior. The characters and their conflicts are appealingly close to real life kid experience, and the animation is charming. My 9 year old daughter is as entranced by it as I am."

I love it as much as my child does!

"This is one of the only dvd's that I love watching as much as my child does. I love the stories and the characters. Good fun!"

Great for Siblings!

"We discovered this show by accident at a relative's house and have loved it ever since. My father taped a bunch of the episodes for us so our son could watch them, and now my father has purchased these DVDs for our son for his 3rd birthday. We love how these shows (and the books) teach respect for elders and friends and care and patience for siblings. Charlie is such a great older brother, and we hope our son picks up on his example with his new little sister. My son can't say his little sister's name yet, but he can say "yarlie and wola!"
Great find. I wish Disney would have more shows like this one!"
