My son loves this movie. Mickey not only introduces the world map, he also teaches a little about different cultures, music, and says hello in each language. Then he teaches different climates and helps figure out which animals live in them. There's also a little lesson about friendship, plus a lot of extras like games. We love this movie!

title says it all. I got it since we were planning to travel a lot in europe. It didn't cover as much of europe as I thought, but that's okay. He enjoyed it enough :)

My 4 and 6 yr. old love learning to say "hi" in 8 different languages! They love hearing the children from those countries speaking in their native tongue!! I would highly reccommend this DVD to any preschooler.

Animation is just like a series of short comedy, and they do not so much related to "Seeing the world"
and intermediate quiz for animals, living style of the people around the world is quite boring. only narrator talks and talks, very simple screen.

my 2 years old daughter stopped watching this and started to play with her toys.

one interesting point is introducing how to say "Hello" in some countries.

I also bought "Winnie the Pooh Shape & Size", this one is much better.

My 2-year old daughter got "Mickey Saves Santa" DVD for her birthday and absolutely loves it. I purchased this DVD thinking it would be similar, but no! Mickey's Around the World in 80 days looks like it was produced 30 years ago - very old fashioned animation and the 'educational' aspect is also very dated. I give this 1 star because my 2-year old would not watch it at all despite it saying it is appropriate for 2-6 year olds. An older child may find it more interesting. It seems to me that Disney is re-hashing old material and packaging it in a new box. Skip this DVD and get "Mickey Saves Santa" which is highly appropriate for a preschooler, with up-to-date animation and 3 wonderful interactive stories.

Hitting in an "educational" DVD! Disney please stop!!! What "leading educators" reviewed this and shame on them!
Recycled cartoons interspersed with very few questions/learning facts, done in cheap animation. Cheap pop up Mickey pops up on world map saying hello/goodbye is the education highlight. Other than that they pause the cartoon and ask a few boring questions. My son was bored as he kept looking for animated Mickey. The 80Days cartoon is ok, but I didn't purchase a "cartoon" I purchased an Educational DVD. Disney does not have the "magic" of teaching.
