I thought kids shouldn't watch movies until they are five. Then I had twins! We limit movies to 1/2 hr a day and some days don't watch any. That said the Berenstain Bears immediately appealed to all the family because the stories are sweet and simple, but deal with real world problems. There's a focus on values and ethics, but it's still fun and cute for the kids. My girls (age three) never tire of seeing these stories over and over. They especially like the ones that are just a little bit scary such as the "Green Eyed Monster" in which Sister Bear has a frightening dream about her envy.

I bought this dvd from our local grocery store, which sold them out VERY fast. The fall story about papa raising the largest pumpkin is very good, has a great moral lesson too. One of the main reasons this was purchased was for the Bad Dream story on it, which is well loved in the book form in this house. However, the story is completely different on the DVD, and that was quite disappointing because the book is quite funny. Wish they hadn't rewritten that one. Other than that, it's been viewed over and over and over again in this house and hasn't grown tired. Highly recommend!

This video is flawless except that after getting it, i realised that if i would have known what other titles are there, i would not have because except for the cover title, we have the others with us already..:(
The titles in this DVD are - Green eyed monster, New Neighbours, Think of those in need, Bad dream, Prize pumpkin, Big bear- Small bear.
So, before ordering just go through these titles first and check if u already have one at home

I ordered this for my mother to have at her house for grandchildren. She says they came in good shape and is glad they were available to order online as she couldn't find them anywhere. Thank you

While many things from years gone by are superior in quality, creativity and craftsmanship to todays goods and services, this DVD of Berenstain Bears episode is quite the contrary. This DVD is not the modern version of the cartoon. Rather, this DVD is a collection of out dated, and rather shallow, cartoon programming. What a shame!
