Editorial Reviews

From Parents' Choice®

Trading on the success of such television programs as Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess, this campy look at an historical battle will captivate the adventure-loving audience. Older children will relate to like-aged children playing the heroic characters. Mock battles and castle sieges are enhanced by authentic-looking costume and live settings. The actors are obviously experienced and seem to enjoy this recreation of an epic story which is true, within reason, to the original. Girls are warriors as well, with one markswoman known far and wide for her accuracy with bow and arrow. The dialogue is modern in spots and there are some "groaner" jokes. Yet, it's the action, the settings, and of course, the fascinating story that count. The use of the splendid Trojan horse to gain the Greeks entrance to Troy is naturally climactic and will cause the audience to cheer in delight. Look for more of these, as they will surely become popular! A 1998 Parents' Choice® Silver Honor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Silly fun for young viewers, February 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crayola Kids: Trojan Horse [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The characters (all played by child actors) are fun and capture the attention of preschool thru school age children. Great songs and silly situations that tell the classic story are a delight to all.

This review is from: Crayola Kids: Trojan Horse [VHS] (VHS Tape)

We viewed The Trojan Horse at our 6th grade school inconjunction with our study on ancient Greece. The kids and teachersalike loved it. The students even asked to see it twice in one day! Itis a truely wonderful movie that keeps everyone interested and entertained while giving a basic history lesson. (Though not totally accurate, differences are easily explained.) END
