5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for the young or the old!!!!, January 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Day the Sun Danced:Story of Fatima [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a true story about the Fatima. It is excellent for the chldren to really understand what happened to the children. I have showed it to my children in the CCD class that I teach for the past two years and they have really enjoyed it with many questions afterwards. They always ask to see it again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful version of a beautiful story, December 28, 2001

This review is from: Day the Sun Danced:Story of Fatima [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! A true account of three young children who were chosen by Our Lady of Fatima to spread the News, this is a tender and sensitive version. The animation is beautiful, and it paints a clear picture for young children who watch it. The complexity of the story is lessened in order to cater to the younger audience, which makes this a very good choice for your kids if you want to teach them about the story of Fatima. Of course, you don't have to be young to enjoy this one--it's guaranteed to make both the young and old smile! =) This is one of those stories that will be well-loved by many for all eternity, and this well-made version is surely a must-see. You'll love it. =)

1.0 out of 5 stars Not appropriate for young children!, March 4, 2010

By 

concerned mom "Liz" (NH, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Day the Sun Danced:Story of Fatima [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This adaptation opens with children frolicking in the bucolic countryside of Portugal. It seems innocent enough, but beware. After the apparition of Mary occurs, the tone of the piece soon becomes evil and sinister. The parents of the children are dark and threatening, berating them and denouncing them for embarrassing the family. It gets worse! The children are hauled to municipal court, where they are threatened by dark and twisted officials that if they do not recant, they will be boiled alive in oil. As another reviewer mentioned, there is also a vision of hell that will give little ones nightmares. Is this wholesome family entertainment? I think not! The story could have been presented in a much more age appropriate way!
