Search - Wee Sing Together on DVD

A classic which somehow keeps kids riveted

"My mother bought this as a VHS when I was a child in the 80s. I don't remember being so fond of it, but it kept my little brother reasonably entertained. However, since that time, plenty of cousins and family friends have borrowed our video and become obsessed. I can think of occasions when 3 different families have begged us to give them the video because their kids (ranging from ages 4-9) love it so much that they will watch it over and over and over again. (My mother wouldn't relinquish probably out of sentimentality reasons.) Now 20 years later, my daughter is 1.5 yrs old and we dug this video out to show her. She sat still for quite awhile watching it, something she has not done for any other video or program. I'm going to have to purchase the DVD for my own home.

I can't say that as an adult, it's a particularly enjoyable movie. The kids all overact every single line and exaggerate their facial expressions to the extreme. That said, the singing is fairly good, and the dancing and concept is cute. I don't know what the magic element is, but it seems to work to keep kids enthralled. Most of the songs are classics: Itsy bitsy spider, Bingo, Old MacDonald, If you're happy and you know it, Head Shoulders Knees & Toes, Rain Rain Go Away, etc.

If you have kids aged 4-8, I'd highly recommend it. Although I wouldn't recommend having your kids live in front of the tv screen, it's good for parents to have a secret weapon that will guarantee an hour of quiet while getting important chores done occasionally."

Educational as well as Entertaining

"My mother purchased this video 20 years ago when her first grandchild was born and has passed it down to the remaining 18 grandchildren. They have all thoroughly enjoyed it and I was so excited to find it on DVD. My kids ages 18 months and 3 years love it as much as my niece did 20 years ago. They have learned so many classic nursery rhymes and love singing along while watching."

A Sanity Saver!

"If you ever had to entertain a toddler or preschooler all day every day you will love this video. I would put this video in after a long day and it would keep my daughter thoroughly entertained so I could make dinner or just read the paper. It was truly a sanity saver! Yes, I am one of those "bad" parents that let my child watch a wholesome video. I highly recommend this to any new parent. Warning: the video itself it highly annoying to any adult that actually watches it over and over. The acting is horrible and the songs will stay in your head forever!"

Little girls love it!

"I found this on VHS at a garage sale over a year ago and my daughter loves it! It beats out any other kid movie we have! I had actually been looking for another copy because ours was misplaced for a couple months. We finally found it, but now that it is out on DVD we will definately buy it to replace the VHS. My daughter is now 2 1/2 years old and knows every song on the video and even knows whats going to happen next on the movie. The little girl Sally is adorable and an incredible actress/dancer. Just be warned...kids will want to watch it repeatedly and if you have a girl you will need to buy her a red dress like Sally's so she can dance along with her!"
