Review Barbie In The Nutcracker [2001] / Universal Pictures UK:

Look who became a star. Barbie comes to life in the computer-animated Barbie in the Nutcracker, taking the longtime-favorite doll into a new realm. The 76-minute tale is a slight variation on the traditional story based on Tchaikovsky's music. Instead of an open-ended dream, Barbie and her escort, the Nutcracker (soon to be Ken, natch), are on an adventurous quest. Along the way there are more creatures and derring-do than the original. The sole known voice talent, Tim Curry, has a good old time as the Mouse King, and the animated dancing is gracefully adapted from New York City Ballet members. A few clever characters, bright animation and wonderful music should entrance any Barbie fan from age three to nine. -Doug Thomas, Amazon. com.

Review The Tigger Movie [2000] / Walt Disney Home Video:

The irrepressible Tigger bounces into the Disney spotlight in The Tigger Movie. While everyone else is busy preparing for winter, Tigger just seems to get in the way until Rabbit suggests that he go and find other Tiggers to play with-but surely "the most wonderful thing about tiggers" is that he's the only one? Tigger sets off to find out. The Tigger Movie may not be a Disney classic, but the interwoven songs add to the fun, and the appeal of AA Milne's original characters remains strong enough to carry the film through a fairly predictable plot. Very young children may find a couple of scenes a little frightening, particularly the exciting avalanche sequence, but by the end of the film Tigger has, in true Disney fashion, been reunited with his friends and learnt the deeper meaning of family-ensuring smiles and a warm feeling all round for the audience. -Helen Baker.

Review Sesame Street - Elmo Says Boo! / Kid's Favourite Songs [1999] / Walt Disney Home Video:

In this Halloween treat, Elmo visits fellow Sesame Street Muppet the Count in the latter's castle-and gets scared for a moment. But only a moment, as more friends from the television program show up, and jokes, songs and surprises abound. Among the clever tunes: "Transylvania 1-2-3-4-5", "We Are All Monsters" and "Frazzle". -Tom Keogh.

Review Teletubbies - Musical Playtime [1997] / 2 Entertain Video:

Musical Playtime with the Teletubbies is an irresistible idea, of course. Music comes naturally to these four plush-covered critters who so won the hearts of their intended pre-school viewers while completely baffling their parents. This themed collection is yet another example of how the Teletubbies invite their audience to identify with them, here through an activity that is central to playgroup, school, birthday parties and the world at large. Of course, like their viewers, they not only make music and dance but fall over and laugh a lot, which is the only way to be when you've just been playing a tune on your tubby custard bowls. The episodes of real-world footage are always engaging too, especially as they generally involve groups of children getting up to, well, exactly the sort of stuff which is fun to get up to. Here there's a particularly effective episode featuring a music and dance group working in a school, teaching the bootie-shaking "boom-boom dance". -Roger Thomas.

Review Rugrats - Artsy Antics [2001] / Paramount Home Entertainment:

The Rugrats gang are back and this time they explore their more creative side in the five episodes on this video. Angelica, self-proclaimed leader of the group and a neurotic three year old, tries hard to interest Tommy and his baby friends in artistic activities. Painting, music, ballets-Angelica excels in all, or so she thinks. Fortunately, the babies' good nature and natural gift for entertainment saves the day. Enjoy watching Chuckie and the babies pushed around by Angelica, becoming unlikely post-modern painting geniuses. Relish the vision of the Rugrats left alone in an Art Museum and the inevitable mayhem they provoke. Find out how hyperactive Angelica manages a dance performance to impress her more gifted friend Susie-with the support of twins Lil and Phil, Tommy Pickles and the other babies. Experience the rise and fall of a rock band-baby style. Largely thanks to Nickelodeon, the Rugrats are becoming an integral part of the lives of today's children. Love them or hate them, you just can't ignore them. [+]
Children will love these highly entertaining five mini-adventures. Parents may regret the lack of educational content, especially in a video centred on a more cultured art theme. Nevertheless, the sharp and oh-so real personality traits given to the various characters-from the children mimicking their parents to the grown-ups trying to keep on top of things-deliver a cocktail of good gags and funny situations to be enjoyed. in moderation. -Victoria MacKenzie.
