I saw this video over Christmas at my mother-in-law's house, and am buying it now. It's very good, by Barney standards, and even has special effects! The kids imagine they're on a pirate ship, and sing a lot of seafaring songs. Then, they reach the island, where they meet an eccentric toymaker who makes toys just for himself. The kids teach him that it can be fun to share your toys. It's pretty cute and enjoyable; not as irritating to adults as most Barney fare.

This is a great Barney movie. My two year old daughter loves it and even though he would never admit it, my eight year old will also watch it with her.

I just bought this on sale at Walmart on VHS for about $6, and the box said it was 29 minutes, but it ended up to be the full-length 50 minute show. It's not the same studio background as the TV show, so it has that movie feel, and it's PERFECT for my 3 1/2 year old daughter (and my 1 1/2 year old son even sits still to watch it!). And, though I normally don't enjoy Barney shows, I must admit I find this little movie so sweet! It starts off in a cozy girly bedroom with two friends for a sleepover, then Barney shows up and they venture off onto a pirate ship to meet the guys and other dinosaur characters. They land on an island, meet this great character played by a middle aged man who ends up sharing his toy inventions after the gang teaches him how great sharing can be. The man sings a great catchy song and is very entertaining. Then the gang travels home and the girls end up back in the cozy bedroom. Catchy songs are just minutes in between the whole video. This is great for girls and boys, such a sweet fun feel to the whole show. I have become a fan of Barney since my kids love him, and the shows teach such great examples, and I have to say of all we have, this is the best show!

As the parent of two small children, I have seen everything that Barney has to offer. Hands down, this is Barney's best. The story is enchanting and the child actors are believable. The music is a great collection of sea songs. The video's best feature is the introduction of the character Professor Erasmus Q. Tinkerputt. What a gem! Keep it up Barney!

Both of my Kids Love This Video as also all the rest they are true little barney fans. I find myself singing the songs while I'm doing laundry or cooking or whatever else I might be doing. All that counts is that my kids love it. This video is a must have.

Very colorful and as usual - lots of music! My 1 1/2 year old loves it and dances all the time. My 2 1/2 year old claims he doesn't like Barney but, sits down every time it's on. The guest star - toy maker - sings a couple new songs that are GREAT and a very welcoming change to Barney! You and your kids will love this video :-)

My toddler granddaughter loves this Barney video just like she does all the other Barney videos, but I even enjoy this one. If I were a little kid, this is the one that I would watch over and over....in fact, I have...but with my granddaughter, of course. The make-believe part where the kids and Barney journey by ship to Imagination Island is perfect! It reminds me of the old Storybook Land that used to sit where DFW airport is now. This is a very charming video that kids up to the age of 10 are sure to enjoy.

This video is not given enough credit. I am an adult and I have watched it several times and now I am buying it to view at my leisure. Professor Tinkerputt is played by Barry Pearl, 'Doody' of "Grease" fame. The character is his invention and the talent displayed is priceless.

I have an 11 year old and a 21 month old. My 11 year old used to be a big Barney fan. Now my daughter is a Barney fan. I was shopping for new videos for my daughter and imagine my surprise when I came across the movie Imagination Island. This hands down was one of my sons favorite Barney videos when he was little. He had a ton of them so this along with a couple other ones stick out in my mind since he loved them so much. I no longer have the video so I am ordering it again for my daughter.

We originally bought this tape 10 years ago for my son. My youngest daughter is 2 and this is also her absolute favorite. When the tape wore out, we had not choice but to order another. It is hands down Barneys best full length show.

The older Barney shows just teach so much!!!

Highly Recommended!!!
