5.0 out of 5 stars I'd have paid $50 for this!!!, April 26, 2009

By	Robin - See all my reviews

Our children have watched this DVD a few times and quote lines from it, scripture, and in a short time have applied the lessons learned - priceless. If they begin having an issue related to the teaching in the DVD, one of them will remind the other about what the story said and they will discuss what to do - mind you, these are two little boys under the age of seven!!! All I can say is buy it, buy it, buy it.

I could go on and on, but suggest reading the review entitled "Spectacular animation, funny, good moral" for details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular animation, funny, good moral, February 13, 2008

This is a darling video. Two children, Michelle and Jason get dropped at Grandmother's while their parents go out of town. Dad leaves the children with a new video game so they don't get bored. They fight over who is going to use the video game first, which sets the scene as Grandmother quotes Scripture and tells them to be patient. The video game never works and they are both sad. Dinner is a disaster as Grandmother is British and serves kidney pie. The children go to the attic to play, and this is where they find a telescope. Michelle, being the oldest, insists on going first, while Jason waits impatiently.

This is when the penguins appear for the first time to only Jason. They explain that his sister can come on another occasion. The first three names rhyme, Zidgel, Midgel, and Fidgel, then there's the joke when Kevin says his name, because it doesn't rhyme, and he says it in a slow funny way. They're all very funny, and the captain's character is a little pompous, and over the top with the big shoulders, ego, and big hair, but loveable.

They've been called to planet "Wait your turn" by a distress signal received on their fax machine. When they get there everyone is cutting in line. The penguins offer to help, but that's not what the distress call was about. They called because it is getting so hot. Well it turns out the cutting in line bug has affected the planet, which is not in its usual orbit, but instead is headed towards the son. "But we're first!"

Kevin points out that they're heading into the sun, and that being first isn't important. He quotes Scripture, and explains the importance of patience, which all goes over their heads. But when he tells someone else to go first, he breaks the spell of the cutting in line bug, and everything returns to normal, including the orbit of the planet. He asks what they were all cutting in line for they show him that they were looking at someone who is spying on them, and it turns out to be his sister Michelle with the telescope.

Back at home, he kneels down to say his prayers and thanks God for teaching him patient, but says, "Next time, please teach Michelle something." It is very sweet.

The animation is beautiful, lots of rich colors, and the illusion of depth, like the Veggie Tale movies. The story moves quickly, is funny and has a wonderful moral. My three year old and my six year old both love this movie, and I am happy to let them watch it.
