Customer Reviews of Jay Jay The Jet Plane - Adventures in Learning
It's Better Than Barney But Did You Know That..? Did you know that the voice of Jay Jay,is some of the voices on that adult animated cartoon:Soth Park.Also this show is weird! Really weird! They look like dopey peoples heads stuck on the plane wih glue,and they talk.That's 1! Weird thing! There's another-are Savannah,and Big Jake adults,J.J and Tracy's parents? I mean Jake is old he has to be a adult so as Savannah.And kids always calls adults "Mr.","Mom","Dad",or rarely sir-but there first name,ahh! Also freakn' old Oscar! He's old and the kids call him Oscar his real name-but not by calln' him by his last name! Anyways,planes that are dumb have no last name-maybe a nicknmae.But a last name??!!!- Not just that it's a boring show-some kids in my class said "My brother used to watch JayJaty when he was 3",or"You watch J.J?"-"No,my brother"-or kids'll say "Hit it JJ" to Jacob-she says "JayJay the jetplane.The first time I ever saw Jay Jay,it was 6:00.I was lookn' for somethin to watch;a computer animated software plane and his other friends.Ripp-off vide:means don't get this thing! So..? Don'T!
Has toddler appeal, but I have some gripes
My son loves this DVD and asks to watch it frequently. He is about to turn 3 and loves anything having to do with Jay Jay or airplanes in general. We've rented or checked out from the library many of the videos. This one has two good episodes (the butterfly adventure and the trip to the library), but the other three I could do without. Incidentally, I'm not sure why the item description for this only lists 3 episodes as mine has 5. Here are my concerns.
First, the Skylandia episode teaches a poor lesson in logic. Snuffy suggests that sky castles exist and Jay Jay is skeptical because he has never seen one. After a dream about a sky castle in which the residents don't believe in what we'd call the real world (because they had never seen it), Jay Jay decides to be more open to the idea of believing in things he can't see. It's a big lesson in faith (which will may appeal to more religious families), but it leaves me cold with the idea that you should put facts and evidence second to your desire to believe in something becaues it's a nice idea.
Another disappointment comes in the episode where Tuffy tries to go to Pangabula Island, but can't because she can't fly over the water like her plane friends. So instead of taking the boat sitting at the dock next to her, she straps on a balloon, only to find she can't steer. So the boat (which apparently had nothing else to do), tows her to the island. I'm not sure what this episode is supposed to about other than taking the hard way around.
Finally, the episode about the sparkle berry tree on Pangabula Island is just plain dumb. They throw in an adult character who is supposed to be Pacific Islander who waxes poetic about a tree of berries that likes to be picked and a population of non-industrial natives (whom you never meet) who prize the tree and get to share in its harvest once a year. It sounds vaguely spiritual and touchy-feely, but does little to promote actual inter-cultural appreciation (since the entire scenario is false and unrealistic).
Jay Jay is lots of fun for toddlers!
My 3-year-old toddler twins just discovered Jay Jay. They absolutely love this DVD.
