VHS Movie Reviews of Blue's Clues - Blue's Big Musical Movie [VHS]Movie Review: My kids love this Summary: 5 StarsI first rented this from Netflix and we ended up keeping it for more than a month. My girls (10m,2 1/2 and 4) couldn't get enough of it. I got it for my 4 year old on her birthday (Dec 25, 2009) and even after seeing it a gazillion times she wanted to watch it as soon as she saw the cover art. It is very entertaining and has a lot of re-playabilitly, even for parents. It is definitely great for those rainy days when they are bored. They really like the segment with G clef. It teaches a few music basics but don't expect your little ones to walk away with any understanding of music from this video, it is just good clean entertainment. Everything you expect from a Blue's Clues production.
Movie Review: Blues Clues Summary: 5 StarsTimely delivery. Product arrived in good shape. Great Blues Clues for kids. Educational. My daughter could watch this 10 times in one day if I would let her.
Movie Review: Blue's Clues Summary: 4 StarsIt is a great DVD. Blue is very funny and teaches kids all kinds of things. It is very nice to watch it and small kids love it. My daughter is learning different words from it and it teaches them how to solve problems or clues.
Movie Review: Good Movie. Great Songs. Just a tad too long Summary: 4 StarsMe & my son love Blue's Clues but we especially like Steve. My 2 year actually learned how to imitate singing by watching this. The songs are very catchy and not hard to listen to. Ray Charles even makes a guest appearence as G clef. The only reason I reluctantly gave this all Steve DVD movie is because of the length. Its great in the car but at home my son gets bored with it about a half hour through. But besides that I think its worth the price if you have a toddler thats a Blue's Clues junkie like my son.
Movie Review: The movie is ok.... the score is a million times better!!! Summary: 2 StarsWe have the movie, but we got it after someone gave us the score. The movie is ok, whatever, but disappointing after listening to the music and envisioning Blue's Big BROADWAY! Musical, not a boring old Blue's Clues episode.
You know that little clip where they sing "Steve's got a silly hat"? That's a whole Samba number. "Why don't I ever find a clue like you..."? That part? The awesome-est bossanova. Every tiny clip in the movie is a full-on fabulous song. And some aren't even in the movie. "The magic of Theater" is especially fantastic. And the star of the show is Aleisha Allen as Sidetable Drawer -- she has two solo numbers and that girl can SING!
Apparently the score is out of print. That is a tragedy, truly, because the music that Steve Burns and those kids made is really exceptional. I don't know who wrote the score and did the arrangements (because we've long since lost the cover art) but they are as sophisticated and listenable as the best of musical soundtracks. I'm ripping our copy to iTunes right now because eventually the cd will be unplayable and my four year old would cry and cry if we didn't have another copy. So would I.
Summary of Blue's Clues - Blue's Big Musical Movie [VHS]Play and think along with Blue! Blue bounds into her first feature-length film ready to sing. She gets sidetracked along the way, of course, but that's part of the brilliant Blue's Clues formula. Each half-hour TV show presents engaging, easy-to-grasp mini-mysteries that are within toddlers' reach. This time Blue; her huge-eyed, slightly loopy human companion, Steve; and their cadre of talking-object friends are scurrying around, preparing for a backyard music show that day. Everybody picks a number to perform; Blue's is a duet with Tickety Tock, but the clock contracts laryngitis. Who will be Blue's new partner? A game of Blue's Clues reveals the hardly reluctant replacement. The standard discovery of three clues followed by the usual wind-down song would add up to a colossal disappointment in a feature film, so substantial rounding-out is provided. Steve stumbles onto a keyboard inhabited by a note called G-Clef (the unmistakable voice of Ray Charles), who gives a tour of how to make a song. First you pick the notes, then you work on rhythm, then comes tempo, and, last but not least, "you've got to give it soul." This movie's themes include perseverance (Tickety Tock can't sing but finds a way to contribute anyway) and self-empowerment. Blue's Big Musical Movie is a feast for little eyes and ears; the sets are so colorful they hurt grown-up eyes, and the songs--especially the one that gets the Charles treatment--are all sing-along-with-me winners. --Tammy La Gorce
