The content of this dvd is not that bad (it's not that great either). The thing that really ticks me off is that there is no menu or extra features like the other dvds: Let's Play School, More Barney Songs and our favorite is the Circus one. The Circus one even has segments of videos from other Barney shows giving you more bang for your buck. Our neighbor heard that Barney fired their old dvd production company - the one that put out good dvds with the extra features, coloring books, games, read alongs, etc.. Big mistake Barney!

Great content but TERRIBLE DVD! It's like they recorded their video to a video CD! No chapter search, no menu, commercials to fast forward through!

Lyric studios put out high quality Barney DVDs with all sorts of extras. ...

My 3-year-old daughter was very excited for this video because she saw Barney on a surf board on the cover and assumed (as did I) that there would be some surfing in the movie. She cried when it was over because there was, in fact, no surfing and now she does not want to watch it again.

If you want to get this, I would just get the video version as this is essentially just a video (no menu or special features) in a digital format. Not worth the extra price of a DVD.

I have three children and all three have loved Barney videoes and DVDs. So, I'm intimately familar with the content of these products. We have several Barney DVDs and this one is the absolute worst as far as usability. The content itself is fine; however, there is no way to fast forward through the ads or the movie because there are no chapters!! For the price of this DVD, I would expect these basic features. The only other DVD I have without these features I got for free in a kids meal! The first time my youngest sat down to watch this DVD she cried for the first 5 minutes because she was expecting to see Barney, not ads for Kipper and Bob the Builder! I would recommend "Lets Play School" instead. Also, check the bargain DVDs at Walmart. I found "Musical Scrapbook" for $5.50 there and guess what? It has chapters and a menu.

My daughter loved this movie, at 2 years old she jumped up and starts dancing for most of the songs.
I am very disappointed that you are forced to watch commercials
for what seems like an hour before the movie starts.
English sub-titles would have been a real boon to children learning to read.

My 2 year old girl is fascinated with this DVD, but there's no menu or special features. We're forced to watch commercials before the actual feature. A pain in the behind when she's screaming she wants to watch Barney. ..., excellent content, but no menu (?)

A simple episode.
No DVD Special Features.
No DVD Menu!!!!!!
Hit Entertainment: Please use Lyrick's standards of quality.

This movie is fine, and my son was very entertained (20 months old), but one thing bothered me about it. There is a scene when they talk about eating fruits and vegetables, and then they decide that those are bad and that ice cream is better. Not to be a stickler (my son loves ice cream as much as the rest of them), but it makes fighting the battle of vegetables even harder when Barney doesn't back you! There are other videos (like the zoo one) where they make fruits and veggies fun, but this one dropped the ball.

This is another cynical attempt to force kids to watch ten minutes of adverts before being able to see the material we've paid for!
My daughter walks off after the first few minutes of adverts.
This whole concept leaves me speechless. I know one thing: I will never buy anything produced by HIT Entertainment again.
