VHS Movie Reviews of Sesame Street - Big Bird Sings [VHS]

Movie Review: 5 stars from my daughter, 3 from me
Summary: 4 Stars

My 20 month old little girl loves this DVD. It holds her attention & doesn't have anything that makes me worry about her seeing it.

To me it falls short of the best Sesame Street DVDs for early watchers. The song writing isn't quite as strong. Too many have Big Bird as their subject matter. The audio on 3-4 songs is sub-par -- distorted from the level being too high or poorly mixed for depth. A surround sound system has to be set to "music" instead of "movie" or the sound is really flat. The vocals on the country style Wheels on my Feet sound like city-folk playing ya-hoo country. (the great Wavin' Goodbye To You With My Heart on Sing Yourself Silly shows how well the Sesame Street crew can do this style). This reads like harsh treatment, but I think the DVD is a notch below the best or even what they could have done with the chosen songs.

Movie Review: Great DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This dvd is great. My daugher watched it hundreds of times. It kept her interest from when she was very young. I would definately recommed this video.

Movie Review: Enchanting!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've watched this video hundreds of times, my son just adores it. The video is a series of songs sung by Big Bird and his friends. All the songs are produced really well, great lyrics and melodies. This is a good choice for small children, especially Sesame Street fans.

Movie Review: Simply excellent
Summary: 5 Stars

I tend to judge videos by how tolerable they are to listen to for the parent. This one is plain enjoyable, even for a grouch like me. See concise review above for details.

Movie Review: If you love Big Bird, this is for you!
Summary: 5 Stars

In this 30-minute video, you will find some of your favorite Big Bird songs. Included are great classic '70s songs like "AB-C-DEF-GHI", "I Just Adore Four", and "Wheels on My Feet". Other fine songs contained here are "The Map Song", "Big Bird Can't Fly", and "Rhyme Out". For those into nostalgia, there is an extremely rare clip from the late '70s of Big Bird singing "What's Your Name?" inside a school. If you love Sesame Street, and Big Bird, you have to check this out! END
