5.0 out of 5 stars My boys love it, July 11, 2004

This review is from: All About Heavy Construction Equipment [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Honestly, this video is similiar in style to a documentary. However, it does have voice overs for the construction machines and there is a guy called Hard Hat Harry who shows two boys around various construction sites. He also narrates on construction projects they are supposedly viewing as the viewer is.

The quality of the film is "B", there are no super special effects or well-known credits associated with big budget films or even children's productions for that matter. Nevertheless, my boys really enjoy watching the video and always point out which "machine" is their favorite. It's also been educational because they have learned the names of different construction vehicles and have corrected me on occasion! High tech video or not, learning is always a plus.

I can understand why some children may not appreciate such a video because there isn't characters dancing or singing. There are no vibrant colors that will pop brillantly from the screen. If your child likes pointing to trucks and construction equipment while the family is out drivng around, then this is a video for him or her. However, it they prefer Barney, The Wiggles or Bob the Builder, you may want to reconsider.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a variety!!, June 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: All About Heavy Construction Equipment [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My three year old son loves bulldozers and any other construction equipment. He had a bulldozer video that was his favorite until I bought this one. He absolutely loves it. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but that doesn't matter to him. All that matters is seeing the different construction equipment in action. There's a huge variety to see too. Some are ones that I've never seen before like the underground "Mole" which digs huge tunnels for like subways. The box reads for ages 2 to 80 and its true. My husband and myself found it quite interesting and entertaining. Hard Hat Harry does get a little silly at times, but you have to remember it is based for children.
I highly recommend this video if you have a little construction guy or girl at home. Who knows...maybe you'll end up like us and enjoy watching it yourself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely bad print!, June 5, 2002

This review is from: All About Heavy Construction Equipment [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Received it yesterday. It is recorded in LP mode. The copy has both picture and sound problems. There is noise on the picture that cannot be tracked away (top of the line Sony VCR). It is like a home video recopied 5 times using bad equipment. The contents are fine but do not deserve a rating of even one star because of these problems.
