VHS Movie Reviews of There Goes a Bulldozer [VHS]

Movie Review: Holds a 1 year old's attention.
Summary: 4 Stars

My 1 (almost 2) year old son likes this video. But he wants me to watch it with him. No bulldozers here, but shots from large construction sites (J.Paul Getty Museum in LA) . Almost like somthing you'd see on the discovery channel. I went out to a nearby construction site with my video camera and was able to get comparable shots of heavy equipment. My son doesn't seem to mind "forman Dave".

Movie Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars

Ok, ok. I know you're not "supposed" to put your child in front of the TV while you try to get something done. But here in the real world we have to do just that every once in a while. At least if I put on a video I know there won't be any surprises that I don't want my 2-1/2 year old seeing. This video is great for just that purpose. It runs a little over 1/2 an hour so it's not too long that I can take advantage of the "free time." It's just long enough to get dinner started and sometimes on the table. My son has loved it from the moment we first popped it into the VCR. I have also learned a lot about big machinery from it and have taken our education into the real world. He can now sit in the car as we run our errands and point out steam rollers, excavators, bulldozers, etc... which makes car time a lot less tedious. Highly recommended.

Movie Review: Title is misnomer; Dave does DANGEROUS things.
Summary: 3 Stars

We like this video, overall, but want others to know BEFORE THEY BUY:

1. the title would more appropriately be "There Go Big Machines on a Job Site". There are bulldozers, for sure, but there are MANY, MANY OTHER MACHINES found on a job site in this 30 min. video, too. On the positive side, the video does a super job of showing a variety of machines, the machines at work, and provides good narrative about the machines themselves. A+ on variety and accuracy.

2. DANGEROUS MESSAGES.
You will either like or dislike Dave; OSHA would ban him from ever working around machinery or children (if the could do the latter). IN THIS VIDEO, DAVE:

-- sees a roller coming, STAYS IN ITS PATH, and GETS RUN OVER AND SMASHED into the dirt, then rises amazingly unhurt. Extremely dangerous and scary message to send to a child of any age, but particularly the ages 3-8 that is the video's stated target audience.

-- STEPS ON A RAKE (on the ground with PRONGS UP!) and hits himself in the head with the handle. He falls back and IS KNOCKED OUT.

-- a dream sequence then begins in which Dave enters a port-a-potty that is then picked up and taken away (swinging in the air). Our 2-year old daughter didn't comment, but Dave's face is scared and other children might find this upsetting. Have to wonder why they put it in at all; for the adults watching? It's not as if CHILDREN ages 3-8 will even know what a port-a-potty is and understand the sequence.

All that aside, and yes that's a lot to overlook, the video is smartly filmed and informative. Just so you know before you buy!!!


Movie Review: Not many Bulldozers in this video
Summary: 4 Stars

The title is misleading, but for kids looking for big machine action it works. There Goes a Dump Truck is another excellent video for kids that love heavy equipment.

Movie Review: I love this video!
Summary: 5 Stars

There goes a Bulldozer is my favorite. I love this video because I love Dave Hood! He makes me laugh all the time... I want to be a consturtion worker when I grow up.

Summary of There Goes a Bulldozer [VHS]

Dave Hood, cocreator and host of the There Goes a... series of videos for kids, takes us on a tour of the world of bulldozers, a natural favorite of those many children infatuated with earth-moving equipment. As usual, Hood shows us how these big machines work, what they do and why they do it, and how their functions interact with those of other construction-destruction vehicles. We meet bulldozer operators and see them pushing dirt, rocks, and debris from one place to another, and smoothing out the ground afterward. As always, no There Goes a... production would be complete without Hood comically screwing up something, and the laughs are frequent in this installment as well. --Tom Keogh
