1.0 out of 5 stars A Total Misrepresentation, April 14, 2005

By 

R. Williams (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disney's Learning Adventures - Mickey's Reading Math and Fun - Mickey and the Beanstalk (DVD)

This is just a dark, cloudy 70's (or earlier) era cartoon. (I remember seeing it when I was a kid. I don't believe it had the benefit of being "screen by screen hand digitally remastered" either. It doesn't look very bright.

We bought it we thought it would help our 5 year old with certain math concepts (because she can count but doesn't necessarily know what the numbers represent). Boy were we wrong. This is not a "learning adventure" or a virtual pre-K as it has been called. It's just a long cartoon and only three times do you see an educational pop-up. The first one is counting two cows, three calves and 5 sheep. The second is asking how many slices of bread (cutting one loaf into how many parts) will you need in order to give Mickey, Donald and Goofy each a piece. The last is I think how many Mickey's equal the giant. Not volume, but how many Mickeys stacked on top of each other equal the height of the giant. The educational content is just too far and few between to justify calling it a learning video. I was very, very disappointed.

My son loved pooh's ABC & 123 I thought this would be a nice continuation for him but it was an older disney movie with a couple of breakes in it with a few problems for him. This was a complete waste of my money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not much learning or adventure here..., May 9, 2005

Disappointed, I should have read these reviews first! Although this is listed for ages 2+, I was not happy with my toddler watching a bad-tempered crazed duck have tantrums and try to kill a cow with an axe. A little less violence in a learning video please Disney! Best advice stick with companies focused on producing learning-based products, not just trying to make a quick-buck. My son loves the Leap-Frog Letters DVD. It is fun, very educational and non-violent. I should have bought the next movie in that series instead.
