IT IS WONDERFUL! We loved it! Using construction vehicles for the characters is the ultimate for kids, they just eat that stuff up. Also, the video has a very clear and strong lesson. Which should be a major part of the purpose for letting kids watch videos. It clearly shows kids that tasks at hand can be completed more productively through organization, cooperation and planning. So many kids videos are empty or try to teach a lesson but are not clear enough. This video clearly delivers the point.
We also loved the fact that despite the fact the characters were working on a noisy construction site, there were moments of quiet, and voices were lowered with soft music which presents a great contract and prevents kids from getting wound up and loosing the message. We also chuckled at some of the antics of some of the characters.

Thank you so much for the video, we will treasure it.

Cody's Crew is a gentle story that appeals to my 2-year old and my 7-year old. My 7-year likes the story because she recognizes and appreciates the message about working together to accomplish something. My 2-year old enjoys the music, the graphics and the characters. The humour is appropriate for kids of all ages. If you can measure the success of a kids' video by how often it's watched, then Cody's Crew is a hit in our household!

This is one video your children will watch over & over again. It has become a favorite of ours for construction theme videos. Bob the Builder has been put back on the shelf and forgotten about for now. I even caught Grampa intensely and actively watching along; which if you knew Grampa...you'd have to see it to believe it. He thoroughly enjoyed it even if he won't admit it.

This is a fun video about the imporatance of teamwork told in a friendly and catchy way with a great theme song too! This is a good product for the late toddler and preschool crowd who love construction.

My son was very excited about this movie but it was very short and not worth the $. I would recommend Bob the Builder and not this!

My three year old saw this on youtube and we purchased it. The songs are catchy and the computer animated graphics are interesting. It held his attention and he watched it a lot! The plot is a little odd to adults, but my son never mentioned it. There is a disagreement and then a make-up. I would not suggest this DVD for the moral plotline, but just for the interesting machines. Great DVD!

We were very excited to buy this after seeing the intro for this DVD. My two year old son absolutely loves trucks and we watched the preview on Youtube and sang the intro song over and over. It turns out that the intro was the best part because we were all bored by the rest. Now he refuses to watch even the intro. Hopefully if they make another they'll make the story move a little faster.

My 22 month old grandson loves this DVD, he's watched it countless number of times. It's a wonderful storyline and the characters are great. I highly recommend it.

We showed this video at my daughter's 2nd birthday party, to kids ranging in age from 1-3, and to their parents. The video captured everyone's attention, and all I heard was positive comments about how well it had been put together. There is something in this video for almost everyone. While the script and setting are geared at younger kids, the personalities that the different vehicles have, have adult subleties. Everyone knows a Barry or two!

Noah is 2 and won't put his new Cody's Crew video down! He asks for it all day. He's always sure to pack in his backpack (along with his favorite teddybear) whenever he's visiting family. It's definitely his favorite video.

When I saw the video for the first time I was amazed. The characters really come to life; the computer animation is fabulous! This is a terrific video for kids who love construction. Cody's Crew is a winner.
