I've read other reviews about how annoying Barney can be, but there is alot worse than Barney out there. The kids love him, and there is an educational component to his DVDs. This is one of the better ones. The songs are about sharing, washing and other behaviors we want to encourage. I for one would rather my children be listening to a dinosaur sing about inside voices than watching mindless cartoons.

Perfect for teaching toddlers about good manners - they always listen to Barney! Not only is it the usual Barney and friends fun, it helps little ones to remember to say "please," "thank you," inside voice/outside voice and cleaning up after yourself. My 2-year-old has so much fun watching it - and is learning good manners too! The "Please and Thank You" song is very catchy, and everyone is on their best behavior at the fantastic party. The "Topsy Turvy Tea" from the Alice in Wonderland sequence is also a favorite... including a hilarious one-liner for the parents!

only there was a song about listening to Mom and Dad. Otherwise, this video is everything the other reviews state: catchy songs and great messages. The day my 2 1/2 year old watched it, she started applying what she learned, it was a beautiful thing.

Barney is a wonderful character. I only wish there were less people and more speaking from Barney. Definitely not for children under the age of 2. Too much going on and to many background distractions.

This video has the characters acting out bad manners at the dinner table and they do it in a way that will have your kid laughing, then afterwards it shows good manners, but to make the bad manners funny defeats the purpose, your kids may end up picking up some more bad manners they didn't know yet and think it's funny. Not a good movie in my opinion, i'd recommend going with the Dora Manners Movie instead.

My daughter can't stop watching Barney. And from what my wife tells me that our daughter interacts with the Barney and her manners afters this DVD has taken a total 360 turn. Not that we didn't try to install that type of behavior in her. But in my opinion kids tend to follow example from what they see on TV than from their parents. That is why I have invested my time in getting all the learning DVD's for her and encourage her and this is one of many DVD that she likes.

My son started watching this when he was 2 and now at 3 almost 4 he still loves Manners Barney. This one has some fun scenes that aren't like a typical Barney episode. They talk about everything from washing your hands to inside, outside voices. I have used it when correcting my child's behavior with success.

My little one is two. She really doesn't understand how to implement what they are talking about from the video, though she likes it and knows the words and dances to all the songs. Very entertaining.

My granddaughter loves watching TV on a cold and rainy day. And this looked like a good one to add to her collection. She loves it. It was a good buy.

It's ok. I had high hopes. But I was dissapointed after watching it with my son. He (who was 3 at that time he got it) watched it a couple times. After that - no more. Even though he loved Barney.
