I am pretty new to Barney, but this is my favorite Barney video of the 5 that I own. I am kinda confused by the other comment stating there are mostly make-believe animals, since there is only one imaginary animal for all the letters of the alphabet. There are 25 other real animals on the video and a songs for almost every animal. My son loves this DVD.

My two-year-old niece ADORES this DVD - she would watch it fifty times a day if her mother would let her. Like another reviewer's little one, she is already saying her ABCs (yes, all the way through) because of this video - seriously impressive! The bits about the animals are cute and educational, too.. I also didn't like the Barney that was on TV when I was a kid, but this particular "movie" is much more educational than the older TV episodes. The reason I took off one star is because the songs can get very annoying if you are an adult who has to listen to this all day... *And you will not be able to get them out of your head*. At least they're catchy, I suppose. :)

I never really liked Barney when my children were growing up. Now that I am a grandmother things do change. This DVD has a new approach to learning. Young children could easily learn without even know it. It also has a special feature of FiFi & the Flowertots. Dalyla just loves. So we got 2 for the price of 1.

After renting this DVD from Netflix, my 27 month old daughter watched this three times and said her ABC's from start to finish. I couldn't believe it since I had been working with her for months and she could only get to G. This was such a success, I am going to buy the DVD so we can keep practicing and hopefully this will help my other daughter when she gets a little older.

I think they did a fantastic job with all of the animals. It is difficult to come up with animals for every letter of the alphabet. Even though they were a little creative, they did a great job. For the letter U they did say Unicorn, but they did explain that a unicorn is not a real animal. Also, if I remember right, they did use veterinarian for the letter V, but they also explained that a veterinarian is an animal doctor. Not quite sure what the other reviewer is so upset about.

Catchy tunes and good animal clips for zoo loving kids. My husband is sick of it, but it keeps the kid happy!

My daughter hasnt really learned the ABC's from this dvd yet--but she loves the animals and it starting to understand the connection between the animals and the letters!!!! I got some flash cards with ABC's and animals and we use those after she watches the dvd..its very educational and full of cute songs!

I got this DVD out of the library for my 26 month old. He loves it and his grandmother (who watches him 3 days a week) keeps insisting I need to buy it for him because it is so wonderful. We had it for 2 weeks before I had to return it, after about one week my son started walking around the house reciting the alphabet. He still misses a few letters, but I was still blown away that he had picked up most of the alphabet from this video.

This is the best Barney video I have seen. My daughter watched this everyday and learned her ABC's before she was 2 using this video. I would recommend this. Your child will definitely benefit from this video.

My 3 year old daughter absolutely love this Barney. I love it because she learning her ABC's and having fun with all the animals. She loves this video more than the Barney at the Zoo. I highly recommend for any one who has a child that loves Barney. Great songs.

Despite the name and cover there were disappointingly few real animals in this video. Mostly this is just recycled song clips about make-believe animals from the PBS Barney & Friends TV show. As such it's no better and no worse than any of the free episodes on TV.
