In my Spot's Magical Christmas review, I mentioned at the end that we'll see how this video holds up against it. Well, the video arrived two months ago and I kinda forgot about the review until now, which I shall state my thoughts.Following the tradition of Spot's Magical Christmas, the characters in this special also has distinct voices (about as distinct they could get - some of the casts were doing double duty, but managed to pull it off well nevertheless) and their lips move to their speech. It kinda carries down the charm of Spot's Magical Christmas and has about the same format with a little extra humor thrown in and the fantasy stuff taken out - Spot happily heads over to his Grandpa's place, sings a song about how grandparents are great and such (lyrics and music sheet available on the activity book of the production), learns that his grandpa was a fireman, cleans up an old fire engine, heads to the parade, and helps out the band (which, among the troupe, consists of Helen's mom, and while not mentioned, also one of Steve's parent, and Claire's mom), and we learn Tom's dad is a sideshow performer. It's a fun movie, and unlike Spot's Magical Christmas, more down-to-Earth and less fantasy.So is it worth it? Definately. It's a cute video, the voices are pleasant, and there's enough content in it to keep it funny and interesting. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm crazy about Spot, but I feel it's a good movie. And I like it.5 RAM chips, two thumbs up, etc. |
