Editorial Reviews

Lola is determined to make Charlie's birthday party the best birthday party ever! The problem is that Lola's idea of a good party is fairy cakes, dancing and pink things, whereas Charlie prefers monsters, green blobs and things that go squidge. As Charlie says, "Monsters don't like pink!" Lola can't help but hijack Charlie's party and Charlie is none too pleased... until a few of his monster friends gobble up the fairy cakes!

4.0 out of 5 stars This is Actually Pretty Cool, February 17, 2008

This review is from: Charlie & Lola, Vol 7 - This Is Actually My Party (DVD)

"This is Actually My Party" is the seventh DVD release in the line of "Charlie and Lola" DVDs. Like the others, it contains seven fun stories from the show. It also features promos for other DVD releases and two great bonus features -- "Dancing Dogs" music video (hilarious and fun) and goof outtakes featuring the animated characters.

The title story is "This is Actually My Party." In this one, Charlie is having his birthday party. He has a very specific idea for what he wants out of his party -- a monster party, featuring a cake with green icing, monster games, and monster music. Lola, on the other hand, thinks that this is not a good idea for the party. She tries to replace it with her own idea of the perfect party, not realizing that it's Charlie's party and should generally be what he wants. (Oh, this is one of several stories from the show that has been made into a book as well.)

Six other stories are featured on this DVD - "My Best Best Bestest Friend," "What if I Get Lost in the Middle of Nowhere?," "I Just Love My Shiny Red Shoes," "Lucky Lucky Me," "Will You Please Stop Messing About" and "Look After Your Planet." Each of them are good in their own way. "Look After Your Planet" may be the most fun, though, because it features Morten, Marv's fun and funny little brother who was just recently introduced to the series.

Another essential DVD release for the series. Seeing as it appears we're not getting any sort of season set release, hopefully they'll just keep putting these out so all the episodes will be available on DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good addition to Charlie and Lola collectors, April 7, 2008

This review is from: Charlie & Lola, Vol 7 - This Is Actually My Party (DVD)

Cute story about Charlie and his little sister, Lola. Probably more amusing to those already familiar with this series and/or new TV series. This story about a playdate with a shy boy will appeal to parents who want to provide an offbeat story about getting along with those who are slow to warm up.
