Customer Reviews of This Land Is Your Land: Animated Kids' Songs of Woody Guthrie
Great Video I have a five year old that dressed up as Woody Guthrie for Halloween and one of the reasons was this delightful video. Need I say more? I will anyway.
This video was one of the things that helped my son begin appreciating music. The animation is just "not real" enough so our boys could relax and enjoy the show without seeing real-life "dinosaurs" or whatever Disney wants to feed our children today. When you look at the options available in cartoons (let's differentiate cartoons from modern animation), i.e. Scooby Doo, etc, this stands head and shoulders above the competition.
Video lacks a social vision
On the one hand, the video makes accessible to children the delight and playfulness of Woody's children's songs. On the other hand, I think the video was made by martians who've never traveled to the US or this planet for that matter and who have no understanding of Woody's life and political vision. The video lacks a sensitivity to race and gender. The gender stereotypes are dreadful!! The animation for the song This Land Is Your Land in no way reflects the lyrics or mission of that song (we're in a rain forest for this one!) I would recommend the children's book This Land Is Your Land animated by Kathy Jakobsen if you are interested in images that capture the political and social vision of this song in a way accessible to children.
These animated Woody Guthrie songs demonstrate his humor.
I never met Woody Guthrie but I feel like I have, having grown up with his music. It gives me immense pleasure to pass the tradition on to my son with this video of his enduring songs set to captivating, educational and humorous animation. Great job Nora!! (Nora is Woody's daughter, who is responsible for the creation of this video.) Looking forward to the sequel!!!! Hint hint.
The first two videos of the four that we bought for our three-year old are This Land is Your Land and Tom Chapin's This Pretty Planet. I only want the best for my child. Don't you??
