Customer Reviews of Monsters, Inc. Disney Read-Along
Disney Read-Along DVD's......Great Idea! I think the Disney Read-Along DVD's are a lot of fun. My 20 month old really enjoys sitting for the short stories. She's to young to sit through an entire movie, but the Read-Along DVD's are just the right length to hold her attention. I ordered these DVD's for Christmas and was somewhat discouraged after reading the reviews of the other parents. So I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised after watching them. If you are expecting these DVD's to be educational tools you may be disappointed, they're great for fun time. I read to my daughter so I don't need her sitting in front of the TV with a book. Yes, there are Disney promos and it's still animation, but you have the option of NOT watching the Disney trailers. You select what you want to watch from the main menu ie; the story, music videos or vocabulary. I like the music videos with the on screen lyrics. I also think it's interesting to have vocabulary section which gives you words to choose from in either English, German, Spanish, French or Italian. You also have Disney's web access with this DVD using your computer and a DVD game option. My only complaint is since the stories are so short there should be more than 2 or 3 music videos. Otherwise, This is perfect for my toddler, maybe a little boring for older children. Older Children may appreciate the Leap Frog "Letter Factory" and "Word Factory" DVD's my daughter loves them and they are a more educational.
Okay, but better with book
My son loves books but finds the read-along DVD uninteresting. I like the fact that it can expose children to other languages, but this will only work if you can get them to watch/listen. Maybe this format would work if kids weren't exposed to high stim TV/Videos. I think it would be much more useful if they included a book the child could reference as the story was told. I know I used to turn the pages of Disney's Cinderella book to follow the movie, and it was great fun. Maybe as my son starts reading more on his own, he will enjoy this more, but I doubt it. I'd pay another $10-15 for a book that went with it in all languages.
What I expected
I think people are expecting books with these. My son enjoyed this DVD, even though he's seen the movie, because there are words on the screen. We also liked the vocabulary part of the DVD. Reminds me of the old records that you used to follow along and turn the page when Tinkerbelle's bell sounded, except now it's onscreen.
