VHS Movie Reviews of There Goes a Fire Truck [VHS]

Movie Review: Excellente!!!!!! (Spanish Translation: Excellent!)
Summary: 5 Stars

Even though I'll be turning 15 on Feb. 1 of this year, I still think this is a GREAT and wonderfully WACKY video. I'll switch to the Real Wheels series on DVD, sometime. Dave Hood, you're excellent, even to someone who might be too old for these series!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Movie Review: My kids LOVE it!
Summary: 5 Stars

Obviously, from other reviews, it depends on the kid. However, my 3 1/2 year old boy and 2 year old boy have insisted on watching this video every single night before bed time for the past month! They absolutely love it and I have learned a few things from it myself.

Movie Review: too technical, boring
Summary: 2 Stars

Very little of "Dave" in this one, however the fire fighters describing the trucks forgot this is video is for very young children. For example a fire fighter, when speaking about where drinks on the truck, says they need to drink when they get "dehydrated". What person under 6 knows what that means? He should, of course, use the word "thirsty". The problem is that this movie left it into the hands of the professional fire fighters to describe the trucks and equipment. These guys may be great fire fighters, but when they start throwing about terms like "dehydration" and spouting nozzle sprays specifications, and various ladder heights my 2 year old, who just loves fire trucks starts staring at me (not the TV). This video would be perfect for adults who want to learn the very basics about fire trucks and fire fighting.

However, we just bought it, and only saw it once. I've yet to find out if he wants to see it again but I'm sure he will. It does have some good fire truck action sceens.

Movie Review: Want to watch a video one hundred times?
Summary: 5 Stars

You will probably have to with this one! My 3 and a half year old son watched this one sometimes more than once a day for about a month. He's tapered off now, but probably due to the fact that he's memorized the whole thing. The video is surprisingly informative, with enough goofiness, lack of condescension, and humor to keep my son entertained.

Movie Review: Not enough fire trucks, too much talking
Summary: 1 Stars

My 2-year-old adores fire trucks, and I bought this video on the strength of the reviews posted here. It is a sore disappointment. Most of the video is of Fireman Dave talking, walking, showing off; way too many interviews with firefighters; there's little video of the fire trucks themselves, and virtually none of the trucks fighting fires. For a kid who loves fire trucks, and wants to see fire trucks, this is not a great video. I don't recommend it.

Summary of There Goes a Fire Truck [VHS]

This excellent installment in Dave Hood's There Goes a... series of children's videos finds "Firefighter Dave" learning the ins and outs of a real firefighter's life. Taking the viewer on an extensive tour of various kinds of firetrucks (the ones with ladders, the ones that store everything from traffic cones to oxygen tanks), Hood also introduces us to a few of the heroic folks who risk their lives on the job. We see the rapid process by which firefighters (male and female, incidentally) get from their comfortable bunks in the station house into their protective gear, then hit the road and fight those raging flames. (We also learn that when these public servants aren't out saving lives and property, they're doing mundane, home-like chores at the station.) The result is a deservingly noble portrait of the firefighting profession. This is one of the liveliest of the There Goes a... productions, and the balance of verbal instruction against the sheer rush of seeing firetrucks on the move is perfect. --Tom Keogh
