The Backyardigans: Operation Elephant Drop Review

Product description: Go wild with delivery agents Pablo and Tyrone as they try to bring an elephant to a wildlife sanctuary in India.

This DVD contaibs 4 new to DVD episodes

  • Elephant on the Run
  • The Magic Skateboard
  • The Flipper!
  • Super Team Awesome!

****This dvd was exciting at first, but my kids just seemed very uninterested. The backyardigans are becoming kindof predictable, you know what’s going to happen.  The most fun parts for them was the animals, they loved watching the elephant being delivered to India.

Max and Ruby Visit with Grandma Review

- brandy3

Product Description:

****We love Max and Ruby, but everytime I watch I always wonder whilled we of course is fere their parents are. Grandma is always around but never any mention of the parents.  One of the things I do like about this show, is my daughters always get encouraged to take care of their little brother. This movie of course is filled with Max not listening and Ruby trying to fix things, just to realize that Max did the right thing. My kids really enjoyed this movie

****iCarly is really funny, I actually enjoy watching it with the kids.  This DVD contains a lot of great episodes, including Freddie and Carly Kissing, Sams twin sister coming to visit, Sam saving Carly’s life and more.  I have heard a lot of controversy about one of the episodes, where Sam says “no shizz”. It’s not appropriate for kids, but I don’t see anything wrong with it, it’s a not an actual curse word and she is just playing her character.
