All 4 movies are about 30 min. My boys like each one, but the fire truck is the favorite. They are all very kid friendly and not only show lots of different vehicles, but explain how they work, what they do and other interesting facts.

my grandson loves this dvd he is 4 years old and watches it over and over.

I have a 2 year old that once saw this DVD and had been asking for it for six months now. I finally found it and he just loves that Airplanes especially. The product came in great conditions and timely. Its a great substitute to your every day cartoons for them!

This was the best DVD I ever got for my two sons, 3 and 2 Yr. old. Fire truck, Trucks, Air Planes, and last but not least Trains. All on one disk and a great deal of fun in each episode. Each show has a fun set of character and is informative on the in's and out's of it's item. I would recommend this item to any one with children who loves these items!

You might think that these videos will have lots of great footage of trains, planes, trucks, etc. They don't. This stupid All About series often has the camera frozen in place while adults carry on highly boring conversations about information. Not instructive or enlightening, just information. Most of it will not be relevant to children under 9. There is no wonder or awe in watching these vehicles. Just talk, talk, talk. What a disappointment.

To the adult, this video is BORING - but to my 2 year old - this video is the most requested DVD to watch. My son loves to watch the fireman one - I think it's the speaker's calm voice mixed with the images of the firefighters working on the vehicles. These videos were made in the 90s (you can tell by the hairstyles and clothing), but to a kid, they have no clue that those things are out of date.

Out two boys (ages 3 and 2) can't get enough of these movies. They aren't the most well-made movies, but they still hold their attention. The Backpack Jack-hosted episodes are much better made than the other ones, but as far as the kids are concerned, they're happy with all of them.

I never write reviews- but I am shopping for another "All About" DVD since we own the 5 episode collection. My son LOVES all 5 of them! It is definitely dated, and early 90's clothes- but the shots of the trucks, trains, etc is great. They actually discuss in depth flying, the difference between steam engines, etc. It is pretty educational- and very family friendly. I bought this at Target on a whim- thinking for $5 it was worth it for over 2 hours of video. IT was the best DVD I have bought- my son will always choose an episode from this DVD over any other show he is allowed to watch. If your son loves trucks, trains, planes, etc this is seriously the best deal around- and your son will totally love it.
