This is a wonderful Barney video. My 2 year old can sing all the songs (it's FULL of animated singing). I would recommend this for a Barney lover. It's special because it's a live preformance. Watching the childrens faces as they see Barney, Baby Bop and BJ come on stage is priceless.

My daughter's sitter informed me that this was her favorite tape. We don't really watch Barney that much, but I believed her, because when we passed the video in the store, purple box all aglow, she started to cry and point for it. It wasn't until I sat thru the video with her that I saw her level of devotion. She watches the screen like they were showing the moon landing. The decription above is pretty much on target. Where do they get those dorky kids, anyhow? The set is cheap and the banter chessier. But my little one just thinks it's the greatest thing ever. There's even an intermission on the tape, during which she cries (hasn't grasped the concept of "rewind" or "time out" yet). Like I said, you'll think your brain is melting away, but for 60, YES 60 minutes of free parent time, "Barney's Musical Castle" is heaven sent.

My daughter graduated from Baby Mozart, to Elmo, now this. I bought this video when she was 8 months and she didn't start liking it until she was 12 months. This video really captivates her. I can't believe how annoying Barney is, though! Elmo is not as annoying, he's actually cute. With an Elmo video, she pays attention sometimes, but with this, it's like she's possesed! (very scary, actually). She won't move until the video is over. I bought another Barney video today, and she cried when it started playing. She knew it wasn't her favorite. Anyhow, I would recommend this video. Ironically, she really doesn't like Barney on TV! I think it's the kids in the audience that make it, also, it's almost all pure singing which she loves. I will poiont out that my vhs version is terrible.

Both of our kids have enjoyed this very much. As for watching it as an adult, it's nice that its on stage and there are a few songs that are quite catchy.

I borrowed this video from a friend and have to go buy it because my toddler sings long with Barney and sits throught the whole. It is a taping of a live performance somewhere, but it very well done. I recommend this video to any parent whose child loves the songs that Barney sings. There are also a section with a few Wiggles' songs following Barney's performance.

I saw Barney's Musical Castle in St. Louis, Missouri. Andy, Jessica, and Penny had the same clothes on as in the video. Justin had a rainbow colored shirt on when I saw him in St. Louis, but in the video, he was wearing a red shirt. He still had the same shorts no matter what. He's a teenager and he can't change clothes when he goes from city to city. If he's a teenager, why is he with Barney if Barney is for toddlers? I don't think Justin belongs in this show since he's a teenager and he changes from shirt to shirt. I think the director should have gotten rid of him since he is not good in my opinion.
