VHS Movie Reviews of Madeline - Cooking School [VHS]
Movie Review: Perfect food for the eyes.
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is a big hit with my 3 1/2 year old and would be good for older kids too. At about 30 minutes it's a great length for parents who want their kids to watch something good but not too long. The target group would be predominantly girls, but there is a token boy for boy viewers to identify with. He's Pepito, the son of the Spanish ambassador, and he lives next door to the girls in their Parisian boarding school. He washes the floors as well as learning to cook at cooking school, so relax about the gender stereotyping. As for the plot, in a nutshell, the girls' cook at their boarding school is suddenly taken ill just as the head of the board of trustees (one Lord Cucuface) is coming to lunch. He gets awful cheese sandwiches, made by the girls, so they are packed off to "Le Cordon Rouge", the best cooking school in the whole of France, to learn how to cook with chef Flambe. They all get their diploma, except Madeline, because she gave her diploma-exam dish to some hungry children on the street. The moral of the story is "kindness is more important than cooking" and it isn't even too sentimentally done. Highlights are the music: some nice catchy tunes, and some charming French accents. But the icing on the cake is Christopher Plummer's narration. Rich, rounded upper-class British English which is a real pleasure to listen to. Another half a dozen Madeline videos are on order for this household. But do get the books too!

Summary of Madeline - Cooking School [VHS]
When the French schoolgirls prepare sandwiches for the imperious Lord Koo-Kooface, even they can't stomach the results. Let's just say "everything" doesn't mean lettuce, tomato, and onions here. So the chairman of the Board of Trustees foots the bill for classes at the Cordon Rouge with Chef Flambé. Needless to say, Madeline dresses her chicken as a doll and sets a few crustaceans free, and the good chef literally gets egg on his face before the girls learn to whip up exquisite croissants, soufflés, and Beef Wellington for their final project. But soft-hearted Madeline gives her chicken away to some hungry street children and forgoes her diploma, until the all-knowing Miss Clavell figures it out. This installment of the series based on Ludwig Bemelmans's classic books hits the right balance of mischief and lessons learned. --Kimberly HeinrichsChildren's Music Music CDs
