The circus is coming to town, and when Barney and his friends learn that Emily has never seen a circus and won't be able to attend, they put one on especially for her. After some research at the local library, Barney and his five friends spread out their parachute and use their imagination to magically transform it into a big-top tent complete with live audience. Barney presides as ringmaster, and his circus features a kids' marching band, a car full of clowns, a lion tamer act, Leonard the tap-dancing duck, and much more. Baby Bop, Barney's human friends, a few circus jugglers and clowns, and Scooter the squirrel figure prominently throughout the show. Just wait until you see BJ the Magnificent's big, big act--if his surprise ever arrives, that is. There's lots of spirited singing, including "Yankee Doodle," "I'm Brushing My Teeth," "When the Circus Comes to Town," and "Boom, Boom, Ain't It Nice to Be Crazy." Concepts stressed include cooperation, how work yields big fun, the importance of exercise and good dental hygiene, and the idea that any day can be special if you share it with friends. Barney is an all-time favorite of most kids ages 1 to 6, and this 50-minute video certainly won't disappoint them. --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Won My Daughter's Heart, March 9, 2001

By 

Helena (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Barney's Super Singing Circus [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We have over 30 Disney videos and other cartoon videos, but this is the only one she cares for. I was stunned when I saw her sit through the whole movie at 2 1/2. She's a very active child and nothing would keep her still. At the end of the tape, she starts wining "Barney." I couldn't believe I was finding myself rewinding and playing this tape six times a day. It would be more if I hadn't told her that Barney was going to sleep.

The funniest thing is that I wondered why children love him so much, still do...back then I had no children...now my daughter is crazy about him and I'm finding myself buying Barney videos to keep her entertained and let mommy relax a little.

3.0 out of 5 stars Colorful, but the kids are too grown up!, January 14, 2002

This review is from: Barney - Barney's Super Singing Circus (DVD)

It is colorful. It is a fun hour to spend with the big purple guy. But that is it. There is zero educational value (except what a circus is like) and Kristin and Kim, two of the kids on the video, are looking a little grown up to me. They just don't fit. (sorry girls!)

Some of the songs are repeats from "More Barney Songs" but they are well produced. It is entertaining, but lacking what some of the other Barney DVD's have to offer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy hour for children, July 6, 2000

This review is from: Barney - Barney's Super Singing Circus (DVD)

Excellent entertainment for children. My 4 years old boy loved the way Barney and his gang where acting at the circus and actually he learned all songs by heart. I myself was charmed by the way imagination is put to work and was attracted to the screen during all the show. The abilities to use the DVD additional features enables us to repeat some of the more cheerful parts of this beautiful production. The sound quality was a little bit under what we were expecting for such a production and that's why I didn't go and gave this film a flat 5. But it is one of the best children film I ever saw and my children would not pass a week without watching this one at least twice.
