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.

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.

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.

My Daughter (2) has watched this several times (more like 5 or 6) since getting it this past weekened - it's only Wednesday - she really seems to enjoy it. She's even getting into some of the actions that go with the songs. It has replaced her favorite Wiggles video - this is a big deal since we've been watching Wiggles for weeks. I am always amazed at the sets and costumes. Barney, for all it's worth, I am grateful that you keep her entertained and learning. I'm sure we'll be watching the "silly clowns and puppy dogs" for days on end.

My daughter loves this video, she can watch it over and over and never get bored with it. Her favorite part is the monkeys when they are singing "Boom Boom Ain't It Great To Be Crazy". This is one of my favorite Barney videos also. I can watch it over and over, and I do!!!

This is definitely the Best Barney video yet. My 18 mo. old son was introduced to Barney by his 2 yr.old cousin. She watches the circus video at least once a day. My son is now totally obsessed with Barney. Compared to other Barney videos, this one has lots of action and keeps his attention with songs and dancing. I enjoy watching it myself.

As a parent of two, I guess you could say that I am somewhat of a Barney officianado!! The premise behind this Barney video is truly wonderful, but poor Barney (with a new voice provider) sounds like he has the worst head cold that a dinosaur has ever experienced. The two gentlemen taking over Bob West's role have big shoes to fill (no pun intended) and are falling somewhat short of the mark. The video is nonetheless entertaining, and my 3 year old dances and sings as if nothing were amiss, but I know differently!

This DVD is 50 minutes long. Most of it takes place at the same location, as the characters are putting on a circus. There is a lot of singing and dancing, which my 2-year-old daughter loves. Boring for me, but my daughter enjoys it.

My girls -ages 1 1/2 and 3 loved this Barney episode. They both get up and dance and laugh. I highly recommend it to parents of toddlers.

This is by far the best Bareny video that we have (and we have a lot)! I'm not even tired of it yet :-)
