Given the fact that it was made for the Eurovision Song Contest, which America pretty much only knows of thanks to ABBA, it's surprising this short film is getting such a release. That said, it's a six minute ear-to-ear smile with puppet versions of ABBA (circa '74) trying to impress a slimy record company boss. Most of the dialogue is ABBA lyrics, the cameos are cute and it's just a lot of fun. A overemphasis on one character's oral fixation is the only negative. The DVD is padded with a five minute behind the scenes documentary, videos of the songs featured in the short and a picture gallery.

This DVD single is such fun. But what a tease! Although Agnetha and Frida appear "together" through the magic of CGI, it makes one wonder what the future holds in store.
Every ABBA fan should get a copy of this.Very, very cute! And it even sports a cameo by Cher!

This DVD is strickly for diehard ABBA fans such as myself. I loved it, but it is much too short. It is a wonderful premise having ABBA puppets auditioning for recognition. The premise is very original and very funny as well as entertaining. They should have made it longer. It was great seeing the original ABBA members as they appear today. I would have rated it 5 stars if it were at least 30 minutes longer. If you love ABBA it is worth the price of the DVD

LOL! A must for ABBA fans, this DVD is a make believe historical account of ABBA trying to make it in the music biz. It has the ABBA puppets auditioning for a slimy record producer and is intercerptdc with cameos of all four ABBA members -- separately of course (the image of Frida and Agnetha together is sadly computer generated--they were filmed at different locations). The dialogue is mostly lines from ABBA songs and unless you're an ABBA fan you may not get all...most...of them. There is a scene where they computer generated a scene from ABBA the Movie. They mixed it in very well I think. A good laugh and sure to please ABBA fans. It also comes with videos of 4 of their biggest hits Take a Chance on Me, The Winner Takes It All, Waterloo, and Dancing Queen.
Only problem is it's too short. Only like 10 or so minutes.

This is such a fun video! Great Fun to watch! ABBA as puppets (created expertly by the Jim Henson Group), star appearances (all 4 ABBA members, Cher, and others!), along with great ABBA music, both original songs, background music, spoken word, and more! A real treat with a lot of things you need to see more than once to catch, expecially if you are an ABBA fan! An awesome tribute!

A true gem!
Lovable puppets, timeless music, delectable wit.
Brief cameos by much aged ABBA members themselves make it all the more touching.

This is a great video that shows that ABBA is so great despite early precictions of them just being a one hit wonder in their early years. They fooled many by becoming the worlds second biggest pop/rock group of all time. They sell more music each year than most of the new acts out today! This video will really appeal and mean much more to avid ABBA fans that know there history but it is very cute and i'm sure will appeal to other fans. The quality is great as are the extra information and clips that explain how it was made. Also, the conversations between the Bjorn and Benny puppets is great. I give this video an A+

I laughed so hard the first time I watched this. It's a fine addition to any ABBA fan's collection.

It is a "fun" video...........It was nice to see that the ABBA group is doing all right and aging well........

It's sort of amusing, making puppets that look like the members, auditioning for a ruthlessly critical talent scout. It was much shorter than I expected. I think I had all the other music videos already.
