"Hammy the Hamster is a very nice little story about a Hamster who makes friends with a turtle, guinea pig and a mouse(which is really a rat). I'm a big Hamster fan(I own one) so this was a great story. The thing that keeps you hooked is the real animals, it's really neat and the animals are so cute,lol. No computer animation or anything like that. It comes with two episodes. The story may get annoying after awhile but it's still pretty good, although the "story-man" as they call him is a little gross looking(yellow teeth,lol). Overall it's a nice package."
Riverbank ingenuity!

"Hammy Hamster is a Canadian production which has produced the series at three different times using real animals such as hamsters, mice, guinea pigs and so on. The first series filmed in black and white during the infancy of television, the second in the early 70s and only a few years ago. It is fascinating even for today's child who live in an era of compouter generated images. This series allows their inagination to come fully alive. It was magical for me in the mid 1970s!"
Real Animals!

"The big plus for this dvd is that it uses real animals instead of the animation we've come to rely on. For my 2-1/2 year old nephew, I think seeing a story with real live animals was a new and interesting thing. Though I found it rather boring, I'm rating it 4 stars for its apparent appeal to little kids."
