As Barney shows go this isn't a bad one but it gets a low rating because this is an old show being sold with a new name. If you want to save some money just buy a used copy of "Barneys Beach Party" which is the exact same show.

It's just Barney's Beach Party with bonus features. If you people who hated the original DVD for not having bonus features, it's your lucky day! I loved the original and I know I'd like this too.

This DVD is infuriating. Can't the menu come up right after the disc loads? I often let my child watch a video while I'm doing chores elsewhere in the house. That means I need to put the thing in the player and walk away - - not stand there waiting for Barney to talk for five minutes before the darn menu pops up. My DVD player doesn't allow me to fast forward it, either. Some other Barney videos similarly hold the parent hostage. Why is this necessary?

I am sure Barney is wonderful for getting children to use their imaginations and getting up and dancing and singing, but it does get old to the adults in the room after multiple viewings. I don't blame Barney. Children like the same thing over and over, adults don't! I also realize that actually going to the beach might increase the cost of production, but the fake one looks really fake. Is this part of using the imagination?

This dvd is great! It has over 14 songs, very bright colors, and educational. My five yr. old loves it, and our baby dances and claps to it! Must buy!
