VHS Movie Reviews of National Geographic's Really Wild Animals: Totally Tropical Rain Forest [VHS]

Movie Review: Very entertaining and educational.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have a three-year-old who loves this video we borrowed from the local library. He already knows the layers of a rain forest and can name a few animals in each layer. I have a degree in elementary education and truly realize how important positive exposure to new things are to children. He also gets angry at the part where they show the cutting down of trees and tells the man to pick them back up! Hello! Do you need more of a hint? Videos like this are truly benificial to children.

Movie Review: Awesome! Humor Included!
Summary: 5 Stars

This video is really cool, and fuuny too. Kids can learn a lot from it, all the while being entertained. It's the best quality, the kind you expect from National Geographic. The answer to every question you ever had about tropical rainforests is right here, I can garauntee it. Dudley Moore, the histarical comedian, plays the loveable and always-good-for-a-laugh globe character Spin. A great way for kids 5-13 to learn and have fun!

Movie Review: Humorous Education

Summary of National Geographic's Really Wild Animals: Totally Tropical Rain Forest [VHS]

Take a totally tropical trip to the rain forest with Spin, National Geographic's animated globe-on-the-go! Explore the life-filled rain forest, where there's a greater variety of plants and animals than anywhere else on earth. In the tropical forests of Central and South America, you'll meet spotted jaguars, colorful poison-arrow frogs, slow-moving sloths, and loud-mouthed howler monkeys - all captured by the world's finest filmmakers. Exciting music videos celebrate the wonderfully weird creatures that live from the shady forest floor to the sunny treetop canopy. So get ready for a journey to the wildest place in the world...the TOTALLY TROPICAL RAIN FOREST! It's just one of many Really Wild Animals adventures in this series.

There's a plug for environmental causes (song lyric: "If there's a place worth saving, this must be the place"), a Darwinian crack aimed at parents, and faux news broadcasts to keep things moving. But most of all there are animals, animals, animals in this 37-minute National Geographic video. If a trip to the South American rain forest isn't part of the vacation plans, this video tour aimed at kids from preschool through grade school will more than suffice. Comparing the forest layers to an apartment building, animated planet guide Spin (Dudley Moore) steps onto an elevator to explore the forest floor on up to the canopy level--meeting tapirs, jaguars, bats, and spider monkeys along the way. Meanwhile kids become familiar with concepts such as echolocation, camouflage, and the equator. Now that's infotainment! --Kimberly Heinrichs
